While undertaking the job of writing about C.M. for the Blaze I wandered about the campus trying to get a lead on just what everybody's opinion of our newest dormitory was. I overheard most of the fol- lowing. Asking a few questions allowed me to com- plete my story. Hey, John, did you hear about Clark Morgan? . . . No, what? . . . '1'hey're holding another of those big parties. You know, decorations, entertainment and good food .... Oh that's not unusual. Clark Morgan is always having some sort of gala get-together. Boy, what I'd give to live in that dorm .... Yeah, I know what you mean. Big rooms, lots of windows, new furniture .... And you don't have to go out in a blizzard to go and gobble your share of Clancy's good food? How about the new C.M. common room. It's almost completed now, and I hear it's going to look better than the faculty lounge! I wish we had one like it. Clark Morgan has the advantage of being right in the center of things, and has a bird's eye view of all the activity that takes place on Cotting Field. You know, Charles, I overheard a group of masters from our dorm, and they were saying how they wished we boys would act more like those from C.M. They don't have all this hacking around over there! Where you going Charlie? . . . To see what I can do to shape up our dorm .... That's going to be quite a hard job to do .... I know, but with a lot of hard work we might do it. Clark Morgan did.

I wouldn't be in any other if you paid me . . . look at all Brewster has to offer. Why . . . there is absolutely no competition as far as other dorms go, and just look at how it has changed! No more wood beds that squealed and marked the floor, no more broken springs and ripped sheets. Now we have new steel beds with good springs, and legs that still squeak and mark the floor. No hard mattresses that keep you awake all night. No more soft ones that left you, in effect, lying on the floor with springs sticking in your back. Our new mattresses do sink down a bit, but, well . . . By the way have you seen our new common room? It's beautiful, isn't it? And our parties every Monday night are tops. And our . . . i .

'QI Mfr' rg' Q- B at Wait a minute will you? Tell me a little bit about what you have in this so-called common room. Well, as you probably know, the room, in the basement of Brewster, has a beautiful counter and stool set-up Cfor parties, etc.l. It has a new ping-pong table, which is very popular. Now instead of sitting down there in the deafening silence and solitude, doing your homework, you can sit down, if indeed you can find a seat, amid the yelling, screaming, turbulent throng that are excitedly following the ping-pong game. Doing your homework, and trying to ignore the mo- notonous, maddening, ponk-pink-ponk of the ping-pong ball is but a minor problem. Well, we have a fine dorm, and well-staffed too. With the Wakelys CN., B., C., and MJ and Mr. Wood on the top floor, and the Harringtons QR., J., and MJ with Mr. Noldt on the bottom floor, we have a very complete and able staff who are always ready to offer help to troubled, disap- pointed, or stupid students. The faculty members often hold floor parties for the boys. My hat's off to those brave souls, our faculty. A hner group of boys you couldn't find. Why, the Brew- ster boys have more spirit than those of any other dorm. We do have our troubles, however. We still can't decide which is worse: Doty playing his records at full volume with the door open and the windows shut, or, Doty playing his records at full volume with the windows open and the door shut! Blake Munro is our able student dorm leader. He has a line staff of boys under his command, as it were. On the bottom floor there are Sargent and Hamilton to keep order. On the top floor there are Sandy Harris and Miller. They do 'a good job at keeping the noise down to a dull roar. We also have our share of hackers, including most of those in the dorm. I mean a dorm wouldn't be much of a dorm if it didn't have its share of the hackers, would it? We have no riots and mass fights, but the boys do manage to find some extra-extra-superextra-curricular activities to indulge in.

We in Hinman think we have the best dorm on campus. I guess it is only natural that we should feel this way, but we do have reasons. Some of them are difhcult to put in print, and just stopping in to visit would not make them obvious to a visitor. Perhaps on a different level we have something comparable to school spirit. Hinman has esprit de corps, and we who live there take pride in what we have. Hinman has been more than just a place to hang ,L tx W Q ggi? ht f3!.'E '-5 nia- Xf Q , A4 .ei our books this year. Perhaps a lot of credit goes to the faculty who are always ready when needed with help and guidance. Much credit should also be given Sandy Knudson, our dorm leader, and our able floor leaders, Dave Freeman and john Randall. Quiet dur- Y ing study hall and during free time helped us to develop many of the scholars on campus. Our common room isn't quite finished yet, but we all realize that it takes other people's time and only our patience to receive something we have wanted for a long time.. Well, we have blown our own horn long and loud enough. Come visit us and form your own opinions.
