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

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.

. . where pounds are added and cents diminished So many times we have used the terms, inroad social values , iimature mental attitudes , with- out realizing that even our informal Chats in the snack bar, discussions concerning our studies and certain midnight gab-fests are instances in which we are maturing and broadening our mental scopes. The very plans for Mary Fisher Hall were designed for mental as well as physical con- struction and we the students are greatly beneht- ing from these designs. Living with us in Mary Fisher Hall are certain members of the faculty who help to satisfy our dormitory needs. A dorm could not possibly be 24 the same without the aid of these most efEcient people. Coucher is indeed a growing institution. New ideas, new buildings, and many improvements have come since many of us have arrived. This year for the Erst time, Coucher has its own Snack Bar, equipped with fountain service and stoves. We no longer End it necessary to ride into Tow- son for food. The Snack Bar has become one of the popular places on campus and rightly so. uMeet me in the Snack Bar is as important to Couchcr as the very building which houses it.
