But we have 387 Johns? Just keeping abreast. . . . MEN’S RESIDENCE HALLS During the past year the Men’s Residence Hall’s Association has been comprised of 600 residents of Nathaniel Rochester Hall, Kent Hall, and the Richford Hotel. Although the residents have been living in many different buildings, the degree of spirit and friendship has been con- spicuously shown in numerous residence hall activities. “Frosh Daze” began a series of open houses in the dorm and continued throughout the year. The Christmas Open House is usually a very successful show; this is the time of the year when the hallways are festooned with seasonal orna- ments. Dorm Council is a representative organization composed of the residents working for their own general welfare and upholding the position of the dorm as “a place conducive to academic indus- try (?) ” 26

Where the girls are—the Kage, Perkins Hall, and “Frannie Baker.” Here about 275 girls fashion out their “home away from home.” Here they wash dishes and scrub floors, whisper confi- dences about dates, hold happy popcorn parties, discuss “forbidden subjects,” prepare gourmets of hot dogs and french fries, spend hours applying make-up and styling hairdos, and do a little bit of homework. Here are R.I.T.’s most prized citizens—just ask the boys! WOMEN’S RESIDENCE HALLS I’ll open the door, thank yew!
