What Wright Hall Means to Pike County Girls By The Girls, Themselves Why have some girls stayed in Wright Hall for four years? The reason isn ' t foolish and it isn ' t because we had to, but because Wright Hall is what it is. We have plenty of pure, nourishing food, prepared in the right way and served at the right time. Wright Hall is one of Pikeville High School ' s greatest educational depart- ments; for here we have practice in good housekeeping and practice in using modern, time -saving machinery for the housewife, which so many need just after they get out of high school. We work an hour a day, which not only pays our room rent, but also gives us our necessary exercise and keeps us from getting so lazy that we think the world owes us a living instead of our owing something to the world. We have quiet rooms, with definite periods in which to study, and a teacher who visits us during study hour, offers aid, and sees that we do not squander our time. Girls staying in Wright Hall sleep regular hours. The radio, piano, magazines, newspapers, books and social affairs provide abundant recreation during leisure hours. We who stay at Wright Hall become better acquainted with our teachers. Understanding our teachers, through association with them, we are more able to do the work assigned in school. Just the fact of being here under the advice of the faculty, rather than out in town, has a great influence on our progress in school. The girls who are planning to be useful and happy women of tomorrow should take advantage of the golden opportunity which they have of spending their school days with the good matron, teachers, and girls of Wright Hall.
