In every residence hall, students elected governing boards and organized social activities, waging elaborate campaigns for offices of house chairman, vice-chairman, secretary, treasurer, and music, publicity, and social chairmen. Prout candidates appeared with spot-lighted posters and private voting booths. Residence hall house boards tried girls with an oven abundance of demerits, and directed social functions. House chairmen represented their halls at Association 01' Women Students Legislative Board meetings. Most halls sponsored a private formal dance at some time during the year. Date parties and after-hours pa- jama parties with head residents and counselors clowning and joining in the fun, were favorite events at the wom- en's residence halls. Corridor parties intensified unity and spirit at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines Day. Q03! le, aw MIcmll; In tl...'..'3 nnuuw 'HOI! lint? ,f 9' .77... D I I I I I I E m a u '11 aagaanall

32 Head residents of womexfs residence halls were Miss Dorothy Wright, Miss Phyllis VVilkie, and Mrs. Elinor Trumbore, seated. Standing: Miss Harriet Daniels, Miss Mary Howey, Mrs. Ruth White. The dorms were never completely quiet, even during quiet hours. In the rooms, students were busy studying the next day's economics or English, but never too busy to half-listen to a Brubeck record or a disc-jockey pro- gram, to wander down to the lounge for a gripe session about the food, profs, 0r homework. Some girls found the clatter of the smoker good background music for studying and curled up in a corner of the lounge to divide their attention between a psychology book and the news of Susies pinning. In almost any lounge of any hall, the eternal bridge game was going on, and girls gather on Friday and Sat- urday nights for a last-minute smoke and discussion of their respective dates. Even the student isolated in his room, studying, was part of the community give-and- take. The record player in the next room filtered its music through the walls, and sooner or later someone would come in to ask about an assignment or just to talk. Better to study later - in a big dorm thereTs always something going am, always someone to see. So desk lamps burned on into the night as the student finally hit the books in earnest. The next morning came too soon, as the alarm clocks buzz began another day's routine of study intermingled with relaxation, against a setting of dormitory life.
