Pioneers at SENIOR LODGE Standing well at the top of the list of the year ' s highlights, as far as some of the seniors were concerned, was the grand exodus of nine members of the class of ' 41 from South Hall to establish residence in the old frame house standing on the newly ac- quired property adjacent to the south-east corner of the campus. Here the men moved whatever furniture they possessed and with the addition of several donations from interested town ' s folk arranged comfortable living quarters. Cooperation was the key-note of this pioneering enterprise. Left to Right — on stairs, Robert Tiemann, Harold Fisher, Richard Rasche, and Robert Herrmann. On floor, Jost UJashburn, Arthur Jacoby, John Hein. Seated, UJilham Lane and riorman Roberts. 12

Paraphrasing the popular song (now you can guess when this COPY was written), If practice makes perfect, let ' s sweep this roorn again, let ' s dust that desk again; we can ' t stand this dirt here now. UJell, it may not have been a theme song for the coeds at Irion Hall this year, but it seemed so to the privileged male who inspected the girls ' choice of a model room. The weeks of experimentation with the comparatively luxurious furniture provided gives a real oppor- tunity to practice on those invaluable home-making arts. The room below is typical of those housing the thirty-two coeds in Irion Hall. fl single snap of the camera shutter misses most of the real life at Irion Hall. Regular housekeeping under Gleaner ' s competent eye is only one part of the life. There are the dreary campused days. There are the spreads engineered outside the watchful scrutiny of Dean Staudt. There are those long talks with the outside world from the cloister of the phone booth. The afternoon siestas, the midniaht oil— all combined soell home for Glmhurst ' s coeds.

Because not even the best of students exist on a mere bit of THE COMMONS mental nourishment, three times a day there is a trek through these doors to satisfy the physical wants. Properly, the scholas- tic day begins and ends in this building. From the first person to enter for breakfast until the last straggler arrives for the evening meal, this is one of the most popular buildings on the campus. It is truly journey ' s end for the cares of the day, for our travel through the campus, and for the mountains of food consumed when students line up here at the Commons. 13
