MGYY MARY H R H A L L Traditionally a Freshman dormitory, Mary Hooper Hall has been a home away from home for hundreds of women during their first months at Rider. ln September, Mrs. Janet Griffin became housemother to twenty-five Freshmen women, newly-arrived at the college. Getting acquainted with Rider, with dormitory life, and with each other was the general order of things for the first few months. Rush parties and sorority initiations fol- lowed, after the girls had become accustomed to college living. The annual Christmas celebration was enioyed by all the girls. Mr. and Mrs. J, Good- ner Gill were guests at the traditional candlelight dinner. In March, all the girls enioyed a dance held in the dormitory's spacious parlors. As the year ended, the lives of the freshmen were enriched b and by their hosts of memories to be t y their new friendships reasured forever. OOPEA ll0 v -lf t l M CHARLOTTE ZUMBRU President

At that time, the dormitory was known as Harold West Hall. Re-established as Edith Wright Hall for girls in September, the dormitory now houses twenty-one women students. ' A The girls gave the traditional Christmas party during the holiday season. Guests for the occasion were Mr. and Mrs. J. Goodner Gill and Dean Wright. Gifts were exchanged after dinner to climax a memorable evening. A successful house dance in January was the leading social event of the year at the dormitory. Eighteen girls and their dates attended the dance. . Under the watchful guidance of Mrs. Anna Dakin, housemother, ta close spirit of unity grew among the girls, most of whom are looking forward to another year of dormitory life as they have known it at Edith Wright Hall.
