A. lockers again and consuming record amounts of Mongeon-brewed coffee. This first part of the spring semester has been especially hectic . . . We've had five formals, numerous dances, and a Winter carnival. These were only the more prominent social events. The formals were all open dances, the one l attended depicted the ballroom as a yacht. The attendants Were all dress- ed nautically and the sea-going feel- ing Was emphasized by the Warped floor, dancing over which gave me the Dear Jack, This isn't an easy task, letting you in on all the doings back here at Alma Mater . . . probably I could sum up campus life in its entirety by merely saying it's been quadrupled since the War's end. Everything has been except the buildings and they're threatening to burst at the seams. By this time Tlve become used to the big crowd which congregates around the Co-op for a smoke between classes, but l think you'd be amazed, es- pecially after those lean years. Most of the fellows and girls are frosh, it's a great class and comprises almost impression of walking on a rocking boat. The Carnival was a fund raising affair sponsored by the Student Rec- reation Association. All of the sorori- ties and fraternities had booths in the colorfully decorated gym. With Weight guessing, basketball tossing, a roulette game, and bingo, the show was just like the real thing. Concerning Doc Sunderman's choir, there is but one difference, and that is in size.

They form that new and exclusive group which maintains individual record cards with Marg down in the Co-op. The members of this organization are in a class by themselves, in that they pay the school not one cent for tuition, books, and supplies.
