Mellon Hall OFFICERS President Vi cc'President Secretary reasurer Rue Marie Swanson Alice Elizabeth Luft Catherine Ray Pierson Within the somber walls of Mellon Hall there flames a light of knowledge and of gayety. Even the most inconsequential of us have our more serious moments, and the most serious ones become frivolous where occasion demands. There's a glamor of romance lurking in our dusky halls, although a sentineldike clock on the mantel chimes out a warning that time is fleeting. There's a spirit of friendly comradeship that bridges the gulf between the girls of Art School and Margaret Morrison; there's a pervading atmosphere of hominess, sponsored by the geniality and charm of our house mother. To prove the excellency of our cuisine, try our Sunday night teas!! 324
