ing to use the phone! Just the normal Sunday night clutter here. Greg Akers from Taylorsville is one of the many JCJC students who live in the dorms. Outside the Men's dorm Perry Mur- phy makes a private call. Private, until someone else comes along want- Becoming a part ofa new family, cont. Life can be thrilling, too. You're the only one on campus who knows it is your birthday and then a 'secret admirer' sends flowers. At midnight you're summoned to a room a mile from your own and when you get back - surprise! Everyone remembered your birthday. Living on campus gives you a chance to really get into the spirit of things. You get to watch the football and basketball players practice. You get to see the cheerleaders learn and grow. You get 'behind the scenes' in many activities. Everyone might gang up in the lobby to decide what kind of spirit to use to show the Bobcats we love them and end up having a wres- tling match on the floor. The men's dormitory doesn't have a lobby, so when they want to gang up they have to go to each other's rooms. Since they don't have a lobby, they have to take their phone calls outside - where the pay phones are. Everyday something happens to make you rejoice over living on cam- pus or wish you could take a break and head home. You know you'd have failed that algebra test if your suite- mates hadn't explained it to you. The cafeteria has a new dish - Pot Luck Surprise. You spilled tea all down the front of your shirt, so after dinner you go to the dorm and change. You never ever get to bed before midnight. You need some support and your friends pray for you. Your favorite movie is coming on television and you can't pick up that channel in the dorm. Closeness is shared by the guys as well as the girls. You live as far away as Texas or Georgia and you seldom get home. Your friends invite you home with them and they never let you be homesick. Besides there's always the girl's dorm. . . So much happens: you might meet the person of your dreams, you grow up and become independent, and make more friends than ever before. This is campus life - becoming a part of it and having it become a part of you. Dorm Life X l I5

and all through the dorm The girls anxiously wait for the party to begin. Darlene Fowler and Mrs. Burch view the antics of Kara and Paula during a skit at the Christmas party. This was just one of the many deco rated doors in the contest. The annual tri-dormitory Christmas party was held Wednesday, December 13, 1978 in the lobby of Dorm lll. It began with the opening of doors to all visitors. These visitors were mostly male and for the next hour they toured the rooms where many were offered refreshments and a look at numerous inventive holiday decorations. Every- one was also allowed to tour the Waldrup's apartment. At approximately 8:30 P.M. the doors closed and all male visitors left. Amy Benson told the story of the Christmas tree and carols were sung. Then came refreshments and after all were served, skits followed. The actresses were Paula McNair, Kara Kimbrough, Melinda CMaw-Mawj Rogers, Theresa Ellis, Kathy Shotts, Bernadine Howell, Darla Cruise, Sta- cey McGraw, and the biggest partaker of all - Santa Claus - Cheri Thomas. Gifts were presented to Dean Patri- cia Waldrup and the dorm mothers - Mrs. Burch, Mrs. Staples, and Mrs. Huddleston. Checks were presented to the win- ners of the door decorating contest and then things began to break up as the girls realized that pandemonium exists when they forget their tests and that they had only two more days of school left before the holidays. l lad F6019 il iw lllrswliriefclffrffff l of V856 Nelllcw 2 tml .M dN avw-Q dai' 1 ll Savalwffrr Ok JW'-i 'x le ,4oF'fi if W fhgrefv oflw- eldlr
