W, 1 sc3Sls.aW -152-.411 ' Upon returning to the dorm this year, we were sorry to leave home and family for nine months, but we were looking for- ward to another happy year of dorm life. Old friendships are renewed and new friends are made as once again we ad- justed ourselves to books, roommates, and bell-schedules. These adiustments didn't take long for time flew, and our teachers did their part to help keep us busy. A lounge, providing a television set, was available for our use most of the year, and Mrs. Conyers made some curtains for it which made it more like a home. For our dorm party this year we went bowling, coming back to the Academy for pizza and the picture Sergeant York! We all enioyed the party, as we have the dorm this year, and will remember for a long time all the things that went into it.

V...- Every Monday and Thursday some fifty girls would take over the gym or playing field. Starting with field hockey and right on through softball and tennis in the Spring, the girls enioyed many hours of keen competition while the teams battled it out. All in all, they can look back on a very busy year. Early in the fall, they held a steak fry at Herricks Lake for all the members, old and new. Everybody gobbled delicious px steak and all the things that go with it, i finishing with songs and devotions around the fire. Later initiation came along fas it always doesj and was thoroughly enioyed by the old members. Of course, the initiates had a grueling time but later relaxed and revived somewhat at the dinner held for them in the vestry. Nancy sighs as she is plastered by Lynn at the G.A.A. initiation. G.A.A. After Christmas vacation, we held our annual slumber party in the Women's gym at the College. Not much sleep, but . . . All of these were fun, and the year was fittingly topped off by the Overnight at ' ' Camp Ravenswood. Ln athlletlels, First Row: Glazier, Petersen, C. Andersen, Miss Watson, Dennis, Kearney, Seely.

This year's council, working with the Mother's Auxiliary headed by Mrs. McCart- ney, has successfully laid and carried out plans, and the result is the old laundry-room trans- formed into an attractive yellow kitchen with a new refrigerator, sink, range, and table and chair set. Thanks to Mr. J., there is plenty of cupboard space, and a shower from the mothers filled the shelves with food and all the neces- sary cooking equipment. Another addition which all enjoyed was a television set in the East Lounge. In the first semester the girls went to Don and Angies' for a Pizza Party, and every month there were hamburger and malt parties. This Christmas, two children from ci needy home were again invited and complete outfits bought for them, but at the time they seemed to enioy the toys more. This was followed with carol singing, devotions, and refreshments. For the Spring Party the girls invited boys to attend a concert given by the College Men's Glee Club. The evening was finished with a time of fellow- ship, and a big serving of strawberry short- cake. Thanks go to the council and Miss Springer for an interesting and well-planned year. 4 ml L rt 5 ., '14 .' 4 ':1'? .Q . :,.Q-t A4 , g -0. .sl-,px Sherry, Corrie, and Faith enjoy the new kitchen. :wig :i 14' facilities of the brand I I In 5 -is 77
