Varied Both On And Off Campus MIDNIGHT DREAMS — are they of his girl, the medical books or the skull that keeps the nightly vigil. AFTER DINNER a game of cards is enjoyed by Phi Beta Pi res- idents, Bill Hamilton, Doug Harper, John Kilbride, Clay Campbell. ENJOYING A MIDNIGHT SNACK are Kathy O ' Donnell, Maureen Entringer, Jayne Reinert, and Dodie Helget. Rooms offered upper classman girls afford the opportunity to polish up housekeeping. AN EXPERIMENT in living is tried by Terry MacNamara. He seems to enjoy his turn at the domestic grind-stone — at least until his wife takes over and he is back among his law books. 27

Living Experiences are Lively And A BEFORE DINNER conversation is enjoyed by John Molloy, Bob Saffell, George Basque, Cage Johnson, and Tom Head. St. Joseph ' s Hall, the dorm overlooking the athletic field, houses eight men. Proctor George Basque is in charge of this group which represents a cross section of the country. Though most of the St. Joseph ' s Hall residents work off campus, they have brought a distinction to the dormitory, as it now has the highest scholastic average. The big switch to off-campus living affords a challenge and a new experience to former dormitory residents. There is relatively more freedom, which, of course, calls for greater personal responsibility. There are many married students attending Creighton. For some, the change in life from dorm resident to home- owner or renter is quite sudden. Married women must get used to attacking the household chores after school, and for married men, this adaptation is not uncommon among them. A small percentage of off-campus students are those in the professional schools who make their homes in the fra- ternity houses. Social and scholastic activities, as well as domestic chores, abound here. The remainder of students who are not Omaha residents live in private homes until the end of the year, or until they change their place in life or become members of one of the various campus fraternities. KEEPING THE AVERAGE up for St. Joseph ' s Hall, Tom Head and John Molloy do their share of studying. The dormitory holds the very high scholastic average of 3.2. BACK ON THE HOOK goes the telephone and Cage Johnson, as Proctor George Basque catches him over- staying his welcome on the phone. 26

The Military Ball, sponsored by Phalanx Fraternity was held January 8th at Peony Park. During the dance, many entertainment features centered around the announcement of the Honorary Colonel, chosen from a group of candidates selected by each company. This year the honor went to Mary Loretta Blake, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences. After the presentation of the Honorary Colonel, Don Cleveland, Cadet Commander, was awarded the rank of Regimental Commander. This award is given to the out- standing student of military science who has shown his capability through high achievement. The presentation of the colors by the Color Guard was the first event of the ceremony, followed by a review of drill and marching formations by the Drill Team.
