 be Stony of Jlife at tlte. botun Dorm life begins at sun up with a brief, brisk scurry of the fifteen girls. Sheets and blankets are tossed into weird figures. Girls! Girls! scamper across carpeted floors in bare feet. Aluminum curlers click ar.d a tinkle of the housemother's bell calls all to a warm breakfast. Down at the dining-room table the girls assemble in array of the present and past. The conversation ranges from the quality of the food to the close criticism of the passersby. Everyone reports with exaggerated airs the amusements of the night before. After breakfast the old question of What shall I wear must be decided. The girls sur- vey one another's wardrobe and costume jew- elry. After unsuccessful attempts to make a size 32 dress fit a size 34. a return is made to their wardrobe only to find lhat someone else had been there before and had borrowed the coat to the needed suit. At twenty till nine they hurry off to class, trudging down the fire escape with an arm lead of books. At the approach of evening the girls re- turn with more vigor than when they left. They solemnly agree that a little work is good. From five to six the hour is employed again in dressing. They must be scrumptuously neat for the most important part of the day. Supper is served at the club at six, after which there are various evening entertainments such as walks, talks, movies, and parlor ro- mancing. At nine the hardwood door is bolted and a jam session of thirty minutes is permitted. When the small shiny handbell is rung an- nouncing quiet hours, the girls are supposed to change ever to tho intellectual side of life (if that's possible). The girls think that the best book is a closed book; however the never-ending task of lesson preparation must be faced. There are those that choose tho closed-book policy. Tho housomother travels upstairs to exercise her powers of authority, but to her surprise, finds the rats are sleeping as peace- fully as kittens. Perhaps if she would open a closet door she would find them huddled in a corner like mice. Tho stuffing of pajamas is a common act. Some innocent girl, free from the evening pranks, slips in at a late hour from a date, so cs to make no noise to awaken a sleeping dummy who, she thinks, is her beloved room- mate. It must be admitted that these dummies look more sensible than the girls that stuffed them. At twelve midnight, these girls suddenly realize that their evening of study is almost gone. Assuming a serious attitude, they study forty-five minutes and then drop off to sweet dreams, or night mares. Or.ce in a while a good scare is experienced by one to add a thrill to the life in the dorm. For instance, the episode of the man in a tan suit just ready to enter tho house when he was discovered. Being all for one and one for all. we com- fort the poor frightened creature and shyly in- quire, What did he look like? J y goodness! What a romantic bunch. 1. Last Cedar Day (1941). as many ol you will remember. Wilson and ■'Lucky'' Logan had a steamroller. Alter the program. Dean Steele consented to pose lor this picture. In his classes he olten asks tho quostion. What is a Juggernaut?'' Here. Professor Steele, is a juggernaut! Cedar Day has become a tradition at Cedarvlllo College. Each year the students have a program oi music, comedy and dance. This program is held eithor in the Allrod Gymnasium (2) or out on tho collego campus. The 1941 queen was Elisabeth Anderson (S), affectionately called Puddy by her (riends. Along with her duties as Cedar Day queen. ’Puddy had chargo ol teaching the Maypole Danco and other dances. A line comedy team was discovered last year in 'Buck Wilson and Lucky Logan. They were assisted by Elwood Shaw. In picture number three we seo the girls entoring the boarding club in the library building. The club sorvos excellent food to about forty students oach meal. In number four we see Allen. Mlckoy. Martha and Bob. Mickey and Allen have become one of the steady couples soon about tho campus this year, while Martha and Bob both go steady: but not with each other. They arc enjoying the sunshino in front of Old Main. This is quite a popular pastime with students who never have anything to do. THIS I S CEDARVILLE COLLE
