Whether it be a game of cards, pool or pingpong, or a snack at the soda fountain, or just relaxation, the student finds all in Raleigh Hall, the most frequented spot on the campus. There, too, are held the bi-monthly dances which have become so popular at St. Joseph ' s. Sponsored by the Social Committee of the Student Council, with Mr. George La Mountain as adviser, the dances are small affairs, to be sure, but nonetheless enjoyable, with young ladies from Mundelein, Barat, and St. Xavier Colleges in Chicago, and College of St. Francis in Joliet, as guests.
