College Living Recalling some of her experiences in Europe for Audrey Sprenkle, as- sistant head of residence, and Mary Lou Armstrong, house president, Mary Strickler, head of residence and dining holl, displays a Hummel figurine in her second floor office in Alpha Hall. J OME of the most precious memories of college life are of tiie experiences sliared in group liv- ing. Students from various backgrounds live together for four years and grow in the spirit of tolerance and cooperation, realizing that each person has an indi- vidual personality which must be understood and ap- preciated. From the roots of college life lasting friendships grow and deepen. The college considers the whole student in its pro- gram of college guidance and provisions for group living. Deans of Women and Men, assisted by the Heads of Residences, the nurse, proctors, and stu- dent assistants are interested in comfortable college living conditions, balanced diets and health, hours for study and pleasure, and the happiness and satis- faction of each student. Orie of the greatest values of a small liberal arts college grows from personal contacts made possible because those responsible for student life know each student individually. Jessie Cosner, residence head of Fairview Hall, and her assistant, Eunice Forrest, and house president, Nancy Brubaker, spend a few spare minutes reading while waiting for the women to congregate for a house meeting in Foirview Hall. Smiling college nurse, Gimmie Lu Cox, hands an x-ray identification card to Verna Weaver. Next in line of the mobile x-ray unit is Shirley Prange. Chest x-rays are compulsory for freshmen and juniors; optional for sophomores and seniors. TUB ' UU I. 1 19
