dorm. As long as I've been here they've kept things lively, and I've had many a chuckle over their methods of breaking the umonotony of college life. For instance, thereis the time when Elder Whitford was president. After dark some of the girls would let down baskets from their windows, load them with boys and haul them up into their rooms for parties. On one such occasion the Elder happened by and seeing one of the baskets dangle ing invitingly, stepped in and waited. As might be expected, his downward trip was much more rapid than his ascent had been!' I just remembered that someone wrote a clever poem about dorm life which might eXe plain more clearly what I mean. I liked it so well that I've memorized parts of it to keep awake on quiet nights. It goes like this: Girls are frowned upon who chatter With their doorways open wide, Or who fail to keep the volume Of their radios inside; And when singing down the hallways Or just whistling a tune Or negotiating stair steps With great emphasis, they soon Hear a iishying from some quartere They prefer Sinatra's croon. On the fire escape or rear porch Young men seldom enjoy peace; From surveillance so exacting They would gladly find release; Even when they're just reclining On the soft reception plank, They're admonished to sit upright, And the admonition's frank. So dorm damsels need your heartfelt And your deepest sympathy; For what they all have to suffer Through their years in Goodrich Hall VVould extend from here to midnight Should one try to list it all: Honey dripped on knobs and thresholds, Tissue festooned 'round about, Peanut butter smeared on washbowls, Nlustard, lipstickasuch spots out. Vilest fumes from chemic mixtures Assail one at dead of night, Not to mention coal gas odors And smoke thick enough to bite. Fresh red paint in letters dripping Has adorned our front door glass, Grinning skulls against a window Frightened stiff some timid lass; Goats and pigs have been to deal withe- It was iiProf Si got our goat; For the swine, as I remember, Shurtlef's sympathies awoke.
