However, under the direction of Father Braden and Father Heyck, resident counsellors, a household of genial hard work- ing students was formed so that resident life became like home life. Because of lack of space the residence was limited to Freshmen. There's nothing like a dorm has been the cry that may force the authorities to see that the facilities are expanded so even higher classmen may avail themselves of something more than an approved rooming house in the school Vicinity. Moreover, the residence boasted not only that its members numbered among the best of the students and socialites, but also among the athletes in basketball, baseball and intramural sports.

ediclenf $14019an There is nothing quite like dorm life. One is immediately thrown in as a member of a large family with its consequent advan- tages and disadvantages. If you have any big problems the dorm mother is always available for consultation and there are also many sisters to Whom one can air her griefs and confide her troubles. In this family, as in every family, there is working, playing and praying together. Then the not so pleasant work of studying is involved, the Nbrains are more than willing to help the Hbrawn with seminars, coaching, etc. Hlthough there are three girls' dorms, the residents are all close friends. The in- cessant social calls between the three and dinner together provide ample opportunity for getting acquainted. Rn annual Christmas party is the high- light of the season with all the entertain- ment, decorations and work done by the dorm girls. Birthday parties are celebrated With entertainment and fine refreshments, sometimes made by our HMother and tal- ent shows, usually supplied by the fresh- men. 9 Spring party is held outside with appropriate decorations and refreshments to fit the occasion. Every evening is culminated With family prayers for the success of our University and for the health, welfare and scholastic advancement of our fellow students. Dorm life is happy life. There are friend- ships made in the dorm Which last for a lifetime. Indeed . . . there is nothing quite like dorm life. ; t 4 1 g Rossmoyne Dorm. Mrs. M. G.
