Included among the activities of the Provident Hall art studios were the Fine Arts class visit to the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona, an evening program at the Art Center School in Los Angeles, and the annual exhibit of student work which was open to public in itation in the middle part of May.

Ann and Merrill laugh it up with Rosie after seeing another meal successfully served. And then there was the apple that went into Rosie ' s cobbler . . . beyond doubt the most popular building on campus was, is. and ever shall be the Campus Inn; for herein the family received its daily bread. It is not often that a college student will tolerate a line, but when it came to the Inn line, he ' d be in line! Directing the 50 regular waiters who served six meals a day, seven days a week was head o ' the stock, O Herron, who not only handled total operations, but who took time out to become a part-time student herself. Hostess Stanton graciously offered grace and her time, and gave us the word on when to partake, while Merrill just-one-more-announcement Jessup, and Ann Reese played the parts of head Waiter and Waitress respectively. It was cash-and-carry Georgie Bissell and Pat Albright whom the non-mealticket holders tried hard to avoid, but never quite succeeded. Famous for its family-style meals, and as many milks as you want, the Campus Inn, its director, its cooks, and its waiters, performs a service unequalled and unexcelled, for the Whittier college family. 17
