DORMITORY Saturdays are the days looked forward to by the children. Saturday, the day they go to the Art Museum or the University to see moving pictures! That day they go icefskating, go to parties and work on their victory gardens. Each one of them has his or her own plot of ground in back of the playground and has planted veg' etables to aid the war effort. Any night after school you'll find them discussing their gardens and how they think they ought to be cultivated. Almost daily we see Hardy and Shirley Steele decorating the dorm with dandelion chains, just as we see Peter, little Peter, scaring all the older boarders, the Marsh sisters at the piano, Lois Hansberry playing her violin and begging Mrs. Livengood for another lesson, Dan forever ex' pounding his pet theories to Mr. Bush. In the evenings you'll often find them all grouped about the fire in the living room play- ing Pit and other games until it's time for Betty to read their bed-time story to them. Some' times it's Cinderella, sometimes Boy Blue but always something to be eagerly anticipated. Their house meetings, their little conferences with Mrs. Steele and Mrs. Haight are helping to form their lives as citizens of the United States by teaching them the democratic way of life. Life at the Dorothy Allen Hall is very pleasant, with rules the youngsters are willing to follow and understand, and with pleasures they are willing to make and enter into whole' heartedly.

CALENDAR IE SEASONS AUTUMN COLORS CTOBER-The junior Jubilee opened our Social Calendar in a somewhat different fashion from last year. Several phases of our new Student Government were presented. In contrast, Ann Pigott, as master of ceremonies, introduced a quiz program in which members of the audience participated. The Halloween program climaxed the events for the month of October. Everyone was arrayed in colorful costumes, and lent an accustomed Hallowe'en atmosphere to the occasion. After the many games, contests, and plays, a mixture of young and old adjourned to the dining room for a festive meal. November-There's something about a uni' form! Thanks to Leslie Denman the Seniors enjoyed a grand evening of fun and dancing with a group of Army officers. A few of the Alumnae were combined with the older girls and from the cloakroom chatter, everyone was on the beam! There's never a year that the poor aren't well supplied with a Thanksgiving feast. This year there was just as much canned goods and as generous an amount of money as in previous years. Much of our offerings went to the Children's Home, an institution in which we are taking a special interest. As usual there were the traditional spirits of Giving, Receiving, and Thanksgiving-Sana Harrah, Barbara Earling, and june Beck. WINTER FROLICS December-The familiar and enthusiastic singing of the Wassail Song opened our an' nual Christmas ceremony. The theme of an old English Manor House was carried out even to the peacock pie! There were dancing, tumbling, music, and a play, which all contributed to the Christmas atmosphere. This year the program differed from previous celebrations in that a wassail buffet was substituted for the dinner. However, the usual joyous merriment prevailed and once again the tradition was a success! The festive decorations from the Christmas party served well to decorate the Tea Dance. The boys and girls all full of holiday cheer, seemed to be having a wonderful time, dancing to the juke- box and enjoying the Christmas Wassail and millions of cookies. sam I . ..: M-fgr'.2 fi -I ttf:-QW afjeatas. may w-sf i -'fQE,f - f,-1i,5 QT5 5 fl' xr,.Q,.

In a very short time, whistles and shouts announced the children's arrival from school and suddenly a bell brought them into the dining room where we took the opportunity to distribute our personalized valentines while they ate. Immediately after, we showed our cartoons which were tremendously enjoyed. Finally, with promises to come back soon, we departed with a deep feeling of satis' faction. 6441, SPRING MADNESS APRIL-We started the prelude to Spring with a bang-for on April lst was Dad's night with a big turnout of Dads. The star basketball teams, the sophomores and juniors, rounded out the season with a close game-the sophomores winning. There was never a dull moment, for at intermission the more energetic dads donned tennis shoes and tackled the seniors for a rollickf Page Thirty-nine
