SOUTH SPENCER HALL MRS MARGUERITE C. OGDEN, Counselor FRANCES HENRY, House President South Spencer Hall was completed in 1904. It has importance not only for being one of the largest and oldest dormitories on campus, but for the fact that it houses the Relig : ous Activi- ties Center and the famous game room.

JAMISON HALL MISS CLARA GIESE, Counselor MARY JO RENDLEMAN, House President Jamison Hall, built in 1923, completed the quadrangle buildings.

NORTH SPENCER HALL MISS NANCY DUKE LEWIS, Counselor JEAN GRANTHAM, House President North Spencer Hall, built in 1904, is one of the oldest dormitories on campus, and yet it is one of the most modern as its renovation has been recent enough to be remembered by the graduating class of 1942. MARTHA WINFIELD HALL MRS. DOROTHY RICE YOUNG, Counselor ELISE BOGER, House President Miss Martha Winfield, for many years a pro- fessor at the college, left an endowment which made possible the construction of Martha Win- field Hall in 1939, formerly known as New A, and popularly called The Country Club. MINA WEIL HALL MISS KATHERINE TAYLOR, Counselor BLANCHE WOOLARD, House President Mina Weil Hall, connected to Martha Win- field Hall, is also the result of a gift, given in honor of Mrs. Mina Weil, grandmother of Joan Bluethenthal of the class of 1941. Joan roomed in it as New B when it, too, was constructed in 1939. NEW GUILFORD HALL MISS EVELYN MARTIN, Counselor PEGGY PLUMMER. House President New Guilford Hall, built in 1927, is a dupli- cate of Mary Foust Hall. Everyone so cherished the memory of Old Guilford that the new build- ing was automatically named for the old one, which now houses the Department of Public Relations. Twenty-one
