Q39 L g, - it IEW f 1 ia In August, 1921, the Sorority found its home at 112 Manchester street. Six- teen of its members, who were Seniorvstudents, have lived in the house all the year under the chaperonage of Miss Marion B. King. The house has on the first floor a spacious hall, a large reception room, a living room with an open fire- place, a large dining room and kitchen, one sleeping room and two sleeping porches. The second floor has also two large sleeping porches and six bedrooms, the largest of which has an open fireplace. The furnishings, including two vic- trolas and a player piano, help to increase its homelike atmosphere. The Soror- ity entertained its patrons and patronesses, the students and faculty of the School of Home Economics at a housewarming early in October. The house has seen many such meetings since then which are recorded in the Social Calen- dar, Deep appreciation comes from the Sorority members to Miss Cooper for her approval and permission in allowing the establishment of the house. We are also greatly indebted to our patrons and patronesses and to Mr. Cyrus Good- rich for the invaluable assistance they gave us in locating the house and furnish- ing it for a dormitory. The plan of running it was based on institutional linesg two girls being chosen to care for finances and books and two chosen monthly for a House Committee to attend to the general management and to assist the chaperon in enforcing house rules which adhere to the general dormitory regu- lations of the School. We have been unusually happy in our house this year. It is with regret that the Senior members leave it-we want to be here next year and enjoy those family breakfasts on Sunday mornings. The establishment of a home for the Sorority has meant a closer affiliation of its members, a taste of real sorority life and has broadened our vision for the finer things around us and before us. We hope that those whom we have entertained formally and informally have enjoyed with us the feeling which a real home imparts. 90
