Dunn Hall Now in its sixth year on campus, Dunn Hall ac- commodates 156 male students and plays an import- ant part in campus activities. In addition to the serenading of the women ' s residence halls, the men took third place with their Homecoming decoration, Moments to Remember, and during the winter and spring they sponsored two dances. With commodious rooms and a comfortable lounge and recreation room, the Hall offers the men many modem conveniences, including its proximity to Barton and Walker Halls. Jim Wiltz leads his fellow dorm-mates as they serenade members of the fairer sex who live in Fell Hall. 10

Set within a frame of hanging bushes covered with snow, the portrait of Fell Hall epitomizes quiet, warmth, and the ethereal. Clara Churchill, Judy Luebchow, Gloria Foley, Wendy Downs, Sandra Montagnoli, Madia Montagnoli, Joanne Rak, and Joan Ehresman are stuffing to complete Homecoming decorations on time. Fell Hall Fell Hall, the focal point of the campus and a land- mark secondary only to Old Main, acquired a new designation this past year. In September, 1955, it no longer was the freshman women ' s dormitory but the residence of 256 sophomores and honor residents. Though this change has taken place, the internal func- tioning of the hall remains the same. The judicial council, which is newly elected each semester, is the governing body of the dormitory, while the social council arranges for the various dances, parties, and other recreation. Miss Isabelle Terrill and Miss Carol Rylander serve as the directors. The hall is a familiar meeting place for those who live there but also for other students who often visit the Cage, at the rear entrance of the dormitory. They attend the dances in the recreation room, such as die Flunker ' s Frolic (that was held the week-end before final exams). One of the most active and friendly times at Fell Hall is during the Christmas season, when the tra- ditional Christmas formal, the ever-popular formal Christmas dinner, and the open-house for the campus take place. The Homecoming decoration also stimu- lates much excitement and action; it is always one of the most striking. Diana Cozart turned hair stylist when Pat Patterson needed a new hair-do.

This majestic entrance leads into an atmosphere of friendliness and companionship among the girls and their guests. Time is taken from their busy schedules of classes and home- work as Jackie Barth, Judy Smith and Ann Moberly enjoy a few laughs. Barton Hall Built in 1951, and named for Lillian Barton, former Dean of Women, Barton Hall contains rooms for 159 girls. Because of 19 vacancies during the 1955-56 school year, the hall saw the activities of only 140 busy girls of all classifications. The hall boasts of having metal furniture, two kitchenettes, a recreation room and a lounge, a tele- vision set, and a joint kitchen with Dunn Hall. Sponsoring two dances, making Homecoming dec- orations, having a booth at the Carnival and having dorm parties — all keep the Barton girls and the hall director, Miss Lorraine Foster, active. Jodie Luke and Mary Costa seem to think it ' s funny that Ginny Christian is desperately trying to regain her towel. 11
