Cochran Hall for Frosh Men To every incoming freshman that old line is heard, t his is your home away from home. Everyone laughs at the time and wonders how it ever could be true, but strangely enough, it is. After long hours of studying there was always the lounge for that much needed break. And after leaving Cochran Hall it will be missed by all who lived there. Canasta anyone?? Neil seems to be quite pleased with the progress of the game. He probably happens to be on the winning side. Just loafing or getting ready to go to convo? They must not be going to classes because they don ' t have any books with them.

Phillips Hall . , . Home of Frosh Women Dormitory life is quite different from what most people are used to at home. Living together in a group fosters mutual understanding and this seems very positive in Phillips Hall. It ' s still a man ' s world, though, and it really is evident at Bethany. Male students living in dorms don ' t have the little problems of hours or even a few of the many other rules for women, but after all, someone has to observe the rules around here, or every- one would be ending up with .S ' s. It ' s sign in, sign out and . . . don ' t get caught in blue jeans! Your room- mate borrows your clothes, gets you to join in a bull session or a good bridge game and then mourns with you when you flunk an exam the next day. You have no idea but .... dorm life is wonderful I More dates mean better marks and being with her favorite boy friend is a wonderful form of enter- tainment of every Bethany co-ed, as is shown here. This is another familiar sight as the gong rings for lunch. Many gather downstairs while others wait until the last minute before going downstairs. 0»n , Tired of studying, tired of talking, tired of sleeping . . . these gals gather for a bridge game in room 204, Phillips Hall . . . cutting convo, maybe!

The lounge in Cochran Hall is quite a gathering place . . . both for studying and relaxing. At the present time these boys seem to be relaxing for a good bull session. Cliff and Xeil showing their muiical ability while the others join in with the singing. Dick probably got off key trying to watch the photographer snap the picture. Everything that goes on in Cochran is not all relaxation. A great deal of time is spent on studies as you all can well see here. Chuck is getting the Spanish assignment from Larrv. Still loafing . . . but the photographer can snap more pictures when the fellows aren ' t busy studying. Wonder what they ' re all looking for . . . Phillips Hall is up the other way !
