1 Life at the dorm is stimulating. Resi- dent students are snugly ensconced in beautiful Durocher Hall whose wide- sweeping verandas are invitingly pleas- ant. From the green brocade paneled living room on first floor to the last well-lighted boudoir on third, the at- mosphere is one of spaciousness and quiet ease. Immediately upon entering one feels at home, and everything is done to keep that the prevailing spirit. Moments of complete relaxation are spent in the basement rumpus room. Letters from home, the joy of dorm students, bring smiles to the faces of Doris Mead and Catherine Fairhurst.

Of no less importance in the place which they occupy are the little doings and social sidelights of the days and weeks. Certainly not purposeless but lending ease, charm, and social graces to each Holy Names woman, they have a niche in cultural growth. Culti- vated, as they are, for the end in view, they have an added worth. Nothing brought to the service of God is slight .... Welcomed for its opportunities to enjoy and further friendships is the fall Alpha Sigma Alpha Beaux Arts Ball. Tops on the social cal- endar is the January prom which attracts one and all to the Marie Antoinette Room to swing and sway .... Delightful is the termi- nation of spring festivities with the junior formal Cotton Ball. Steal a glimpse of them .... ?S?3e t [J - ' « ?a :r TT TTi T i m- ■m.. . i

I» Fun comes In delightful guises. All girls occupying hall quarters automatically become members of Durocher Club. Each can be recognized by the tradi- tional gold pin delicately fashioned in the shape of a rose, embossed with the letter D, symbolizing the foundress of the Holy Names Order, Mother M. Rose Durocher, after whom the Hall was named. House affairs are directed by the club through the offices of president, executive council, telephon e committee, and scrapbook committee. Social gatherings at the Dorm are memorable events. An initial all-col- lege tea sounded the note of welcome early in the fall. From then on, guests arrived regularly to join in the fun of the dessert dances held on successive weekends. Hayride parties, banquets, treasure hunts, taffy pulls, steak fries, picnics, luncheons, and knitting for the Red Cross were a part of dorm life this year. Between times, serious study- ing went on, and with a tasty bedtime snack, students were whisked into dreamland each night. and Edeer Pierce iake. Pagtjorty-onc
