n' . xv,-f 111-J-- TEFW' 'T 1 x, x l BOYS' DEPARTMENT ' The boys at Chilocco take pride in the dormitories which serve as their homes during the school term. Life in the dormitories places responsibility upon the individual, from personal :are to maintaining standards for group living. Their rooms are of special interest and con- cern to the individual. Here indvidual likes and dislikes are expressed rather freely. The student is permitted to decorate and maintain his room in a very simple manner or he may choose to add pictures, decorations, and trimmings to his taste so long as it conforms to normal healthy living. Above we see pictured Amos Factor doing a little brush-up work before retiring. John Vale, a member of the tennis team, looks over his racket before leaving the dormitory for a few games on one of the courts. Richard Schell holds down the top bunk of a double decker for a few moments of relaxation on a Sunday afternoon, Jess Boles, -dressed in levis, the regulation garb of the l-lill-Billy Band, is lost in a Westerner. Eugene Howe looks into space from his perch on the rim of the campus fish pool. l-le is, no doubt, thinking of that last boxing match held at Chilocco. Last but not least we find Lee Roy Bacon busily catching up on his studies. Lee Roy's activities as president of the student council make it necessary that he plan his work well. Each bays' dormitory has a democratic form of government with their leaders' being elected. All matters pertaining to their dormitory are discussed by the boys. Study and re- creational periods are provided. A House-Mather lives in each dormitory with the bays to aid them in every way possible. . 12 5
