Located on East State Street in its first year, that house has now been converted to Harold West Hall, a men's dormitory. lts successor is Rider's largest and newest women's dormitory. ln spite of the large number of girls living there, a warm spirit of hominess and con- geniality was maintained at the dormitory throughout the year. Mrs. Jane Lobb, house- mother, proved to be kindliness and understanding personified. Most of the girls attended a dinner-dance at the White Gate Inn in November. The affair was proclaimed a big success by all, and it set the mood of gaiety and happiness which predominated in the life of the students at East Hall. The annual Christmas dinner and party served to usher in a gala holiday season. Three engines from Trenton's alert fire department responded to an emergency call from East Hall one evening in February, as a near tragedy almost upset the tranquil life at the dormitory. Quick action by the dormitory's alert officers before the arrival of the fire engines averted a possible serious fire. The gaiety of the social life and the cooperation gained during such serious events as the almost fire, served to weld the girls into a united and happy group. ll2

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.
