Under the supervision of dorm masters, Mr. Hinman and Mr. English, houseleader Stephenson, and floor- leaders Armknecht and Kruger, the atmosphere of Hoit House was kept relatively relaxed. Perhaps introductions are in order now. First of all, we have Messers Morrill and Beauregard. These two took turns at being protagonist and antagonist in a series of water and wet towel fights. Then there was Shorty Baker, who at one time went wild with ecstasy at prospects for a coming vacation, and literally hit the ceiling. Novelists Shovan and Lavalle occasion- ally joined to publish short stories. One coming out in weekly installments was entitled, Ten Easy Ways to Preserve and Dissect a Corpse. The usually placid combo of Taylor and Stone would sometimes team up, much to the agony of Stephenson and Thompson, who lived under them, and give their rendition of the Second World War. Another common sight would be Pulsifer and Bent, sitting and thinking furiously of some way to stir the 0tl1B1',S wrath. Mike, the youngest of the three Kingston brothers, came through in true Kingston form to become one of the most popular members of the dorm. Mike and Jay Webster were two of the smallest and probably most industrious fellows in Hoit House. Occasional streaks of light by the names of Coupey and Putney were frequently seen as they breathlessly tried to reach their rooms before lights out. And come what might, Frolich, Jameson, and Fox would never miss that last minute cigarette. Byers and Venno, fellow Maineites, could be seen every now and then swapping bull stories about the great North Woods. Well-mannered Nils Kahl, one of Holderness' foreign representatives, and roommate Pete Van Zandt, were the gym- nasts of the dorm. Halfway through the year Arnold was led to the barber and to everyone's surprise he had two of the prettiest blue eyes ever seen. John Houghton, the seasoned weatherman, continued to give complete and fairly accurate weather forecasts. Bobby Weiss came to be Hoit's sophomore athlete of the year. Quiet Doc Gray kept careful count of the points amassed by his colorful roommate, Rudy Colloredo. We will of course not forget the attempt by Atherton, Parish, and Edgerly to sink the bathroom. And last, but not least, actor-painter Ricky Fabian provided the artistic touch which Hoit House needed in order to have a little of everything. Neither will the boys of Hoit House forget the tasty dorm parties given by the Englishes and Hinmans, nor their kindness to them throughout the year. We wish another good year in 1955-56 to Hoit House and its occupants. arohall gfouoe A quick glance at the outside structure of this dorm reveals that it is not very impressive and when you reach the inside, you get some funny ideas about Holdemess. But the whole charm of this so-called paradise, lies in the character of the individuals who dwell therein. First of all, and probably the greatest con- tribution to this dorm are Mr. and Mrs. Chase. Ma has long ago broken all records for the best dorm parties. Meanwhile, the soft rhythms of Mr. Chase's newly-composed music can be heard and appreciated. ' Down the hall in a very humble room dec- orated with hockey equipment, Charlie Carlson and Hugh Barndollar are engaged in a heated up bull session. Bart Jordan across the hall is absorbed in some guitar music while his room- mate, John Cragin, has retired to the library in search of peace and quiet. The next room belongs to Stan Evans and Barry Borell to whom gags and horsing around are only natural. As we get ready to leave, the door comes flying off the hinges as Jarrin' Jack Jameson comes barging in on a somewhat violent quest of a
