Midnight .mack-ecoming up Fun is where you find it in the rec room HEADS OF HALLS: Dr. Ashton, IWTS. Ashton, Mrs. Hepburn, Aliss Arnold, Dr. Torrey, Airs. Mott, tMiss Quincer and Mrs. Webster not pictured; AMONG the Heads of the Halls we found warm interested friends too. Open houses were held and they encouraged us to come and chat and to repeat the Visit as often as we could. The recreation mom captured our hearts immediatelyecomfortable chairs, radio, Vic- trola and a ping pong table assured us of a variety of ways to entertain guests. Visions of midnight feasts were incited by the attractive kitchenettcs in each house. The college store and the switchboard also added to our convenience. It seemed as if every- thing had been planned to give us the utmost pleasure. But overseas a war was raging and in appreciation of all this loveliness and com- fort we felt a greater responsibility to do our part and to make the most of the privileges we had.

SOME of us were a little homesick at first. The freshmen found it all new and strange, and the girls who had moved from town rather missed being able to run over to Robert's for a hcokef, However, we soon dis- covered other attractions. Not later than an evening or two after our arrival we donned sweaters and slacks 6f we had forethought enough to pack themh and scampered off to the woods for a marshmallow roast. When the marshmallows had been con- sumed, we sat about the blazing fire and were introduced to some of the traditional Goucher songs. A few of the hold timers led the singing, but we soon joined in, car- ried along by the lovely night and the grow- ing sense of comradeship for one another. 17
