. . 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.

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

Looking across the terraced lawn 2t Robinson and Bennett Bennett-Rohinson Hall Junior Partners with a Big Future Direction and Planning: Miss von Borries, Mr. Nichols Mrs. Nichols, B. Evans, L. Morrison. 7 Bennett and Robinson Halls have the smallest dormitory on campus. It was constructed after Mary Fisher Hall was completed. Though this dormitory has only two wings at the present time and cannot boast of a luxurious dining room, plans for the future have destined this building to be one of the largest and most comfortable on campus. Bennettites, as well as Robinsonites are most proud of the fact that living with them are Miss Eline von Borries, and Mr. and Mrs. Nichols.
