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.

. . 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.

Eager Bennettites look unusually sober and quiet. Bennett House Bennett is that dorm which will probably have its own reunion in ten years. Friendliness, warmth, and loyalty pervade its corridors, envel- oping its members and Visitors. At that reunion one would be likely to hear remember the night somebody moved Bubbles bed into the shower? or lirenie'mber Miss V011 Borries bringing us wel- come-back flowers at the beginning of the year? The reminiscing would include the only telee Vision set on campus; Lou Morrison7$ capable presiding at hall meetings; the AA. skit, The Wizard of Odds, that was destined to win and never even placed; its W itchesel. B., Tone, and the Academic XViteheancl the moment before the hnale when everybody forgot the next line; 26 JANET MORRISON, President and somebody would remember the Christmas party when Bennett girls pooled their efforts and usual high spirits to wrap gifts for their adopted family. Dorm life and dorm Spirit are the part of the foundation for life upon which Goueherys stu- dents are building their relationships with other people. Enthusiasm for ones own work and play plus deep respect for the ideas of others infuse the girls with a basic Goucher aimabuilding a happy life. The beaming faces in the photograph are not smiling for the photographer; that is the Bennetteand Goucherelove of and delight in life shining through their eyes as it always does!
