OLL Hall, the initial building of Scripps campus, has amply lived up to its traditions this past year by sending a goodly representation to each campus event. The Toll fashion show at the first of the year marked our freshmen as worthy of fiiture consideration. The I-Iallowe'en party, the Christmas tea, the pageant, the Christmas party, which inci- dentally was favored by a visit ftom Pere Noel, and the Faculty tea, all found Toll as a center of gaiety. The Toll girls have also contributed plentihllly to the cause of the unemployed with money made ftom the sale of sandwiches peddled from hall to hall. Due to the absence of quiet hours, the Toll residents eat, sleep, and occasionally study to the beats of a kettle-drum, descending from the third story, where Scripps dancers kick their toes in a boisterous manner. From entertaining the French Consul to providing a home for a caroling Hog, Toll has adapted itself well to any occasion, under the leadership of Anne Sharp, as hall chairman the first semester, and of Emilie Paull the second. 4

THE STUDENT COUNCIL carried on. Thus the halls are the most important divisions of the campus. There is danger in such division, in that it might become too marked, for a college is only successfill if its student body can work as a unit at certain times. This unified body has been the aim of the student council during this past year and as many activities as possible have been originated in the larger group. The cultural lift, academic pursuits and recreational activity such as dances and athletics do not grow out of single halls. In this way, we believe that there exists at Scripps a conven- ient and powerful organization of students. Governing meet- ings are held in groups not too large to be unwieldyg these groups mold into one larger and more effective for important activity, and coalesce into other various smaller units for aca- demic work. It is this pattern then, that we have attempted to Hullow in making the year book a reflection of the college itself 3

LARK Hall is agreeably informal. The living room is a , long, low room, furnished in dull red and green, where may be a Bach fiigue, a formal Come service, a wood Hreg or chords and a low voice wailing Old Man River. A dash to Mrs. Snider's room to Phone Ralph occursg a crowd assembles for house meetingg and tete-a-tetes are held in the guest-rooms. Dinner by candlelight strikes a different tone. Bobbe Lee an- nounces a house meeting, Felix tells the minutes of the council luncheon, class meetings are announced. The upstairs browsing room has greater infiormality, with a bright new Hre-Place, rows of books, the homelike disorder of Sunday morning newspapers. Freedom, and a never-waning vitality, the essence of Clark Hall is: ,, . Srmtches of song from a patio, Laughter echoes, voices low, . All that is young and alive will go Into our melody. 5
