GIBBS HALL Symbolic of midnight feasts and too many nights out, the girls ' dorm, although now occupied solely by WAACs, is still known as Gibbs Hall. However willing to evacuate their former abode for the young women of the U. S. Army, S. F. A. coeds are looking forward to their future return to Gibbs Hall. And thus it is with the boys ' dormi- tory. It is hard for the former occu- pants to visualize this scene of all-night bull sessions and unrestrained gaiety transformed into quiet, rigid routine of the W.A.A.C. administration. But once again room 305 will buzz with the clicking of ivory squares and the hep strains of Well, Git It!

As typical of S. F. A. as apple pie is of America is our beloved Aikman Gym. It is the one building that has remained untouched and strictly for students. Now both girls and boys receive their physical instruction here, and it has become S. F. A. ' s own recreational center. It is particu- larly historic for the Lone Star Conference championships which have been won here and for the peppy games our Lumberjacks have played. AIKMAN GYM W. R. C Where blue shorts and white tennis shoes used to reign, it ' s now khaki and salutes. But there are still echoes of dancing, basketball, and tumbling classes for S. F. A. ' s coeds. And the private, vice versa, and all-college dances which put the Women ' s recrea- tional Center on the map, will never be forgotten. 1 1 la, •,igiir AttHr •• £2
