JORDAN ANNEX May we present the newest member of the femme dorms, the Jordan Annex. Our clan has in its midst three sophomores, three freshmen and one special piano student. We ' re all alive in spite of the fact that even with a microscope not a single spring can be found in our beds. And now something about the inhabitants of the Annex. Ruby, our wonderful house-mama, says Lights out and quiet everybody, almost every night at 11:00. One night Annie crept in to see if mama was setting a good example. What greeted her ears? You guessed it — bla, bla, bla. Ruby blamed it on Stamper. Jan is not only a good pianist, but a super magician. The best trick was the short-sheeting of her colleagues during Thanksgiving vacation. Jan was very sweet — she made all the beds — (at the point of a knife.) Yes, and there is Phyl, the Clementine of the Annex. You know — num- ber nines. Who cares — she is a swell gal and plays clarinet like we would all like to. Columbia City came to Jordan with a BANG. Cassaday and Eberhard. We know what Mr. Hovey meant when he said, Poor Welty, those two in the same band! Marymae is Miss Henderson ' s little helper. The servicemen like to hear her sing, but her heart belongs to Harry. Janet, who hails from Seattle, is all dimples and a cute giggle. She talks in her sleep, so we know that the man of the moment is Bud of V-12. And then there is red-head deluxe Vi Villard. Have you heard her play the organ? Despite the male pulchritude at Jordan she remains loyal to the Navy. Last, but not least, there is Mac — christened Mary Jane McCullough. Her soul is wrapped up in the clarinet, but her heart belongs to Art, whose photo constantly at her bedside. Anjtex Dorm — Rtiby Montgomery, Violet Villard, Phyllis Eberhart, Miriam Cassaday, Mary Jane McCjillough, and Marymae Stamper. [32]
