t Q 1951 iggs i... 9 it Dorms It takes a heap of living in a house to call it 'dorm'g With fun and laugh a'mingling here and there with stormsg It holds just scores of daily deeds, morning, noon and night, Understands and knows each girl no matter what her type, It echoes loud with laughings of the shy, the loud, the gay, And records what passes in out-every single day! Dorm's a place that proudly holds singles, dorm-mates, suites And makes them, with the matron, a family none could beat! And 'dorm' sees many a funny thing, both the bad and good- Squabbles for the bathtub and thumb-tack holes in wood. It sighs when old deinerit pads Hll out an empty blank And chuckles gay when howling girls play off some harmless prank. It lives through many study hours, and 'preps' for 'heavy dates.' And ticks its clock the fatal hour when 'comers-in' are late! It knows more 'stalls'-excuses-things-and secrets all untold Than any single other house in all the world could hold! And it's a good ole cozy place-tho' sometimes ceilings leak, Or tho' hot water's all been used, a stair or 2 may squeak. It reeks with noise-inharmony-while musicians plug away. Radio-banjos and pianos-all begin to play, And knows a many a monthly meeting round the matron's fireplace And many a time of vacations when it seems an empty place. Its halls have rung with phone calls-and 'come of morning mail!' And have filled some lengthy-longed-for sights when old, old grads they hailed! Dorm's not a place someone could buy who says, 'Just go and live!' But dorm's a place that's lived for years that knows of take and give! Its walls have seen some hundred girls from every Sargent Class And watched the change come over them as through three years they pass, Our dorms have been the root-the core-the very heart of things, A central spot round which was wound the 'daily everythings'g And so-it's very plain to see-no gold in any form- Could ever try to take the place of our old dorms! ifet - ,s 5.1 Llssl !.n ,
