The prospect, however, is not altogether alluring. VVhen contemplating entering such an institution, one cannot help but feel a little averse to giving up a life of freedom and going into voluntary confinement. At last the girl makes up her mind to try it, in spite of all discouraging difficult- ies. She arrives with many misgivings and apprehensions and takes up her new abode. The first thing she has to get accustomed to is the tyranny of the bells. She rises by a bell, attends classes by a bell, she goes to her meals by a bell and is supposed to go to sleep by a bell. As time passes, she gets over this strange feeling and finds that all she imagined is not true. Everyone is human like herself. The dean of women is no nightmare. The food is of the best quality, and many times of the greatest quantity. Of course, she has a little touch of homesickness which soon leaves her. She is then able to enter into the life of the school. -H. VVOI.C0'I I'. Page Fifi-1'-11110

-'-+3 V Il 4' v a ft Boys' Dorm Club 'PHE DORM CLUB is one of the most beneficial as well as the oldest organization on the campus. At the beginning of the year election of officers was held, and Leonard Carlson was elected president, Norman Collins vice-president, and Vernon Price sec- retary. At the beginning of the second semester election was again held, and Leonard Carlson was re-elected president, Bob Della Valle vice-president, and Allen Branton secretary. George Ruiz was chosen as news reporter. The membership of this club consists of all the boys who live in the Dormitory. At the meetings which are held whenever necessary, the boys thresh out their problems in a true parliamentary way, and in case no agreement can be made lNIr. Edwards, who has been our much respected adviser for the past year, acts as an arbi- tratorg and his words of wisdom have always proved good. There is a great rivalry between the Dorm and the outside fellows, this year a touch football game was played which by unlucky breaks, the Dorm lost. Every year there are different get-together parties between the girls' and boys' Dorms where fine friendship and much .spirit is created. In this club there are mem- bers from various parts of the United States, from Mexico, Japan, and Europe. For the recreation of the boys they have secured games that have created a great deal of interest. These games are obtained through the Dorm Club dues. lVe have been very fortunate in having llr. Edwards as our adviser this year. He has been most faithful in fulfilling his duties and has been one among us. -G. Ruiz. 1,tlfjl' Fifly

--+2-f Y zz c c a lit - Extension Department THE EXTENSION work among the Mexicans has been successfully carried on during the past year. The Spanish Department at the College supplies a long-felt need. Rev. Juan Romero has taught classes in Spanish Bible, Bible History, and Sunday School Administration, in which the Mexican group has, for the most part, been en- rolled. Rev. B. H. Pearson has carried forward classes throughout the year in Public Speaking, Theology, Logic, Refutation of False Doctrines, and Christian Evidences with the Mexican students and his preachers and workers. There are nine young ladies in the Girls' Training Home, and one of the girls, a former graduate from High School, is acting as assistant of llirs, Beers. Five young men are in the Boy! Home, where lVIrs. Beers lives, taking charge of both the Nlexican Homes. These young people are being carefully trained in the art of home-making, house- hold economy, good citizenship, and gospel work, with the supreme object of evan- gelizing the Mexican people. Instrumental music is taught in both homes by Miss La Verne Ball, while all of the groupare receiving general instruction in speaking English, and two are in regular class work. One of the young men has already filled the position of interpreter with marked ability. Three of the group are in the High School classes at the College, and hope to complete their course in June, 1930. -A. L. BEERS. Page Fifty-two
