Hooper gals take time out for recreation in commons room. Hooper House Hooper House began the year with a bang when their skit, the Coucher United Nations, won Erst place on A. A. night. Anne Hickman and Lu Brubaker directed the production. Since then other activities have occupied the U. N. maidens, such as Sunday morning breakfasts pre pared so deliciously by Miss Fiske. Incidentally this has been the first year that Miss Fiske has spent as a county campus housemother. In the past she has been head resident of Goucher House, one of the old City dorms. A memorable event in the yeafs history was the presentation of a picture of Miss Luhe Hooper to the hall. Hooper House formerly known as East was named for Miss Hooper who took such an inter- est in all our activities that she invited all hall 22 EDITH HERMAN, President members to dinner at her home. One tradition in the hall is to have a hall breakfast on the Sun- day before the Erst day of exams. To buoy up our faltering morale tea is served from four to Eve in the Conrmorfs room during the Erst two days of exam week. Wednesday nights seven of the hall members invite one faculty member to sit with them during dinner. Then the professor is escorted to thc Coniniorfs room for after dinner coffee and a get acquainted hour with the rest of the hall members. Edith Herman, the presi- dent of Hooper, has successfully channeled the finances of the hall in a drive to help a displaced person. Hooper is proud of its many time accom- plishments 0f the year.

Dulaney House In Dulaney House things started buzzing the first Sunday in October when Joyce Underwood, the hall president, headed a party for all newcom- ers. We had a grand time meeting not only the dorm Freshmen but the three-day resident day- hops as well. First term studies were weighing a bit heavily on us when news of Miss Quincefs lovely invitation reached our ears. Open house sounded just divine, and from two to four on that Sunday afternoon we partook of wonderful deli- cacies. Soon an air of secrecy and subdued glee pervaded throughout the corridors as packages of all shapes and sizes were seen disappearing into the Commons room. We were able to boast of two trees this year; one was beautifully and artis- tically decorated by Dulaneyls own Miss Quin- JOYCE UNDERWOOD, President cer. Our holiday party was the last fling before , exams began. The beginning of second term was designated by a coke and popcorn party. Then came Winter Cotillion bringing with it the privilege of en- tertaining our dates in the Connnorfs room. Everyone has a grand time and even A Duck, the mascot 0f Dulaney gave a loud quack to register his approval. Spring, third term and graduation were synony- mous to our way of thinking. The traditional senior dinner and terrace breakfast were enjoyed by everyone. Before we knew it the term had come to a close and it was time to pack our trunk and bid adieu to a most wonderful college year. Hall Meeting? Whats new tonight, once? 21

Baldwin House Baldwin House under the presidency of Loris Perry had a Erst rate year. The Hrst week of school we got acquainted with a lot of the wonderful Freshmen, and numerous transfer students. Hall breakfasts were a pleasant aspect of the term and Baldwinians enjoyed Dr. Torrey,s tea parties Sunday afternoons. Our Erst llmixer 0f the year brought forward representatives from 1.11. U . and the dental society. Our winning smiles, allure iiig young Charms, and luscious refreshments en- ticed the guests to such a degree that for many weeks afterwards hall members were bcscigcd by telephone calls and date requests. As is the cus- tom inexpensive gifts accompanied by witty bits of poetry are exchanged between students at the LORIS PERRY, President annual Christmas party. XVhen all the presents had been given out everyone gathered around the open hearthecokes in one hand and popcorn in the other and commenced to sing. Soon the room was reverberating with song, for every one lustily harmonized on all the clearly beloved Christmas carol refrains. The Commonls room was an attractive spot in which to entertain our XVinter Cotillion escorts. Everyone enjoyed the hot Chocolate and peanuts which were served to us by Elaine Spencer, our social Chairman. W hen spring hit Baldwin, everyone took to the sundeck; a tan is a necessary attraction at May Ball. Now the years festivities are done but Baldwin has had its fun. Baldwin House gathers round for llintormal shot. 23
