Moving Day One bright morning in autumn, the girls of North Hall were awakened by a rumbling, squeaking sound outside the dorm. It was moving day at Slippery Rock. The men, at long last, were going to newly-completed Patterson Hall. First there was a great pounding on the dining hall doors. It was too early for the dining hall to be opened, but the men wanted breakfast before tackling the job of moving. After this racket quieted down and the girls had settled back to sleep, they were awakened again by the sounds of furniture being pushed and pulled over the pavement. Shouts and cries rent the air as the procession progressed. The men accomplished their migration in half a day. When this was finished, it was time for the women to take over. Long lines moved the possessions of the new residents of South Hall from their old domicile—North Hall. Then, with brooms and mops the girls commenced cleaning. When the dust settled, the men were in Patterson Hall; the women were in South Hall, and everyone was glad that moving day was over. Girls move in while boys move out of South Hall. John Duff confers with Mr. Evans about a moving problem.
