MR. AND MRS. MAURICE LAWSON ‘S cUei aCt.. From the “Get-acquainted party at the beginning of the year when we told were we were born both times, the dorm girls had many occasions for rejoicing. One was when we welcomed a son into our large family of girls — Bruce Jonathan Lawson; another was the Christmas party with the candlelight service that followed; and another was the week before Valentine's day when each girl had a “heart sis who did nice things for her. Throughout the year we have enjoyed times of testimony and fellowship around the fireplace. Our governing board, the dorm council, planned these get-togethers. They also were responsible for campusing the twenty-five singers who serenaded the boys in “El Barno after hours, and taking away those lates from the girls who took specially late lates after Sadie Hawkins day, and other things which came out of the “big black box at the switchboard. Dorm “Ma and Pa were Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Lawson, and faculty sponsor was Miss Effie Nelson. “My, how big you've grown! Number, please!

S tyie t 'ZtalC.. Rev. and Mrs. Paul S. Meyer With a wistful glance the fellows turned from the uncompleted dorm last lall and moved their possessions into the crowded 4-H clubhouse, affectionately known as El Barno. The nightly pillow fights and boisterous laughing there were a prelude to dorm life as the fellows moved in floor by floor. Entering locked room via ladder, catching-up on neglected studies, and cleaning the floors and windows occupied their time. Dorm Ma and Pa, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Meyer, were given more trouble later as quarter tests found all night study sessions as well as midnight races in the corridors. As the year progressed a constitution was adopted and Russ Johnson was elected as the first president of Edgren Hall dormitory council. To assist him, Jim Rehnberg, John Kramer and Keith LaGesse were elected as members of the executive council as were representatives of each of the College and Seminary classes.
