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.

Surprise package, lMyrna? Where eager students congregate at 10:00 and 2:00 As of this year, Bennett and Robinson base- ment has become a most familiar spot to all Goucherites. Located here is a post oilice which brings us mail twice a day. When papers are due or when Inidterins come, there is nothing better than receiving a letter from home or a note from him. The package list is something which is never overlooked. Food from home, a new dress, or a package Elled with clean laundry is a blessing to most of us. The business oHices of the college are housed 28 in Bennett and Robinson basement. iiThafs gold in them that rooms. A student bank is a most valuable thing to any student. Even though we receive no interest, the Bank Offers us a place to keep our dollars and cents. Before weekends come around the Bank office is kept busy by money withdrawals for transportation purposes. Mailboxes click, safes Open and Close, typewrit- ers sound, and all is well in Bennett, Robinson Hall.
