GRACEMONT Dormitory Life Last September, Gracemont, under the sign of Virgo, the Virgin, was opened as the home of eighteen enthusiastic boarders. Under the able guidance of Leo, the Lion, Mrs. Marquam, we have spent a very happy year. Gracemont is the newest addition to the schoolg surrounded by beautiful gardens and paths, it adds much to the school campus. In the lovely ballroom we have given many dances and parties. The sleeping quarters are on the top floors where the girls spend most of their time. On the third floor are some of the juniors, including Christine, who has the reputation of never getting up earlier than seven-thirty in the morning. On the second floor in the northwest room are the rest of the juniors, and on the east and south wings the seniors. Anyone trying to reach Gracemont on the telephone in the evening may experience a little difficulty since most likely Marty Broughton or Barbara Barrett will be talking or Josie sending a telegram. At about this time Dorothy Wall strolls in asking her usual question, Any calls for me today P or down the hall Gwen may be swooning on her bed after a long-distance call from Scotty. Downstairs at the piano are the jive enthusiasts, Frana, Debbie, and Babs, who are taking in johnny Mercer's latest. Wandering into one of the rooms, you next see Barbara Ludberg in front of a mirror feverishly cutting her bangs, when suddenly from Adoria's room there is a bang bang and a voilce asking Will Dick Tracy escape from Shakyf' but it is merely the fa IO. just then the doorbell rings and there is a package and a dozen roses for Stevie. Probably another pin from Dig. A pleasant aroma coming from the kitchen pervades the air, and there you find Midi baking a cake for a certain sailor, with Babette and Geneva eagerly waiting to pounce on it. As soon as the evening paper comes, Kay and Cynthia are ohing and ahing over the movie section. From the master bedroom are issuing loud exclamations from Nancy Lee, who has just broken another of June's vases of flowers. At approximately ten o'clock a semi-calm descends over the house, and Leo, the Lion, rings the chimes for lights out. ,lust what the girls with the balcony off their room do after dark is unknown, but theiwind couldn't be responsible for all those whispering sounds. Leo, the Lion. now retires to her room to try to recuperate from the day's excitement, guarded by her faithful hound, Lassie.

The devil tempts all men, but the idle man tempts the devil. Never measure other people's corn by your own bushel. He who spares vice wrongs virtue.
