THE DORMITORY With trunks packed, labeled, and sent on their way homeward, the exam- weary Dormette stands, looks around an empty room and down into a dark- ened patiog but for her the room is alive with personalities, the patio is a gayly lighted stage of many events long to live in her memories. , . . A scavenger hunt which took them into every nook and cranny searching out the odd and grotesque-Barbecues which found them journeying into the mountains and out on the desert-memories of plank-steaks, sweet music and soft lights at the Biltmore Bowl-the Dormette jig amid corn- stalks and hay, where formality gave way to swinging in the corn, and the big apple reigned supreme. Cider and sandwiches served in the Tavern lShakespearean Rooml by Farmer Brown ljosel. Hostess' nights every month when each girl, dressed in her formal, asked a guest to dinner, after which some form of entertainment was offered the invited guest, in many cases a play presented by the Dramatic School. And last but not least the weary Dormette thinks of the mad one o'clock rush to get in under the wire and keep in the good graces of Mrs. Cooper, the House Mother-that last minute rush in the quiet of night when cars freshly returned from dance spots and movies grind up the driveway to eject their human cargo and deliver them into the hand of Old Morpheus. . . No, the memories filling the bare room will not be forgotten and for those who leave this year, they will live forever in retrospection. Aucz ioues 51
