Formerly the residence of one of Pittsburgh ' s leading citizens, Andrew Mellon Hall is now the home oi Chatham ' s leading citizens, the Seniors — and do they love it! These girls experience certain advantages here which have long been envied by the underclassmen lor Mellon enables its residents to privately commune with nature, though sometimes over a typewriter roll, from the conservatory, or to maintain enchanting fig- ures through the benefits of a quaint two-lane bowling alley; or, should they decide to end it all along about tutorial time, there ' s always the pool! Then too, their family-sized breakfast table enables them to see many more happy faces and to exuberantly cheer the morning to- gether! Other advantages worthy of note are the availability ol large carpeted areas lor bridge players, providing them with the comfort due their Senior tank, and the captivating silence be- tween Mellon ' s walls which conveniently serves to muffle the sound of typewriters and othe] ejaculations typical of tutorial study and stub which might cause to disturb the constant train ol thought emitting from other dorms. Ah, the grandeur of it — overstuffed solas, tapestries, oriental rugs, the library, the Blue Room, the Conover Room — lots of rooms! What other girls on campus have an opportunity to flow or lall. depending on the date, down such a glamor- ous staircase? And th.it prolusion ol ivy! Only the Seniors are provided with this preventative against an occasional draft which also serves as the safest fire-escape on campus! Yes, between the Seniors themselves, Mis. Anderson and the dorm, it is easy to realize why Mellon ' s many assets far outweigh the long walks in that foggy morning chill and make it the loveliest, liveliest and most cherished site- on our campus. 22
