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

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

Smith Hall Gordon Triefenbach, Duane Houser, and John Cherry relax in one of the many commodious rooms which make Smith Hall a favorite place of residence for many campus men. Smith Hall, perhaps more than any other residence on campus, exemplifies the philosophy of fraternal living. Perhaps the most unique residence hall on campus is the beautifully landscaped and homelike Smith Hall. Over fifty men dwell here under the popular directorship of Dean Linkens and Mrs. Harriet Vissering. The hall is governed by Russell Thiems, president; Don Nichols, vice-president; Lewis Barron, secretary; Ron Car- lock, treasurer; and Ray Rebuck, social chairman. One of the most outstanding projects of the Smith men is the construction of an outstanding Homecoming decoration, which is destined to take one of the top places in the contest each year. Their activities also include manning a booth at the spring carnival and the sponsorship of several closed dances. John Cherry and Bill Thurber stop eating long enough to listen attentiveh to Tom Patrick as he introduces some food-time fun. L2
