y Plainly speaking, Dorm life isnit exactly what Sherman called war. Aside from an occasional water-bag bath, barber shop discord to lull you to slumber and a rumbling of ash cans to rouse you in the wee sma' hours, it is just the essence of T peace and tranquility, except perhaps for an occasional sand storm from the road- i way. Properly designated, the fiscal dorm day begins every morning at 7:13 A. M. and ends precisely at 7 :l3 A. M. on the following morning. The only occasion for such an early rising is breakfast which arrives at 7:15, but there is where the House 1-1 lazy-birds slip one over their fellow dormites for all they have to do is roll out of bed and down the stairs to breakfast while the poor farmers that live in the suburbs of Ladd Hall struggle from their beds at an unearthly hour to arrive in the commons with the morning meal. Lunch isnit so bad, because everybody gets a fair start and a strong finish. But dinner, with its white collars is the crowning Hfaux pas of the whole proceeding. L Dancing after every meal is the boast of House D and the young daughters of the Swan proceed thusly to settle their newly acquired content. Not so House F. The old owl may be a pretty quiet bird all day, but his Violent ash can exercise at night would bring grief to the healthiest swan. It seems that the time honored ' Spinster clan of House C has the watchful waiting policy. Every evening they gather timidly on their doorstep and iieockooH at the straying strollers in a half sympathetic manner. Houses A and B never make much noise on the campus, but were pretty sure that they indulge in a strenuous program of indoor sports. Poor old House H has the wrong idea altogether. They send a delegation out on theicampus to break the somberness of the evening with some harmonic selections. But they tell the sad tales themselves when they shoutfiW'e hit the notes like kangaroos? House G never makes much noise in public, but, ye dogs, when there alone. Four first class handball tournaments have been successfully staged on their third floor courts. We mustnit forget the regular staid old customs of dorm life such as campus strolling in the moonlight, eanoeing on Crystal Springs and fudge-making on rainy days. Most important is the mens nightly gab-fest in the kitchen about eleven O'clock where weighty matters of all kinds teven fried eggs and extra strong cocoa are disposed 00. We could talk and talk for pages about the charms of Dorm life, but sufficient is the evil unto the reader thereof, so we Chop. 37
