Officers at Melrose Hall: Margaret Burton, Charlotte Applcwhite, Opal Hofer, Betty Brockhouscg Carolyn Bcallc. Melrose and Gololzlal gfouse ln Melrose Hall, the older dormitory for girls, Charlotte Applewhite ruled as president this year. Her council was made up of Betty Brockhouse, vice president, Carolyn Bealle, secretary, Opal Hofer, study chairman, and Margaret Burton, social chairman. Mrs. H. I. Hester, with the aid of Mrs. Byrns, Mrs. Klepper, and Mrs. Keller, acted in a supervisory capacity. Through almost two terms of this year the girls lived in Melrose as they have since 1926. However, near the end of the second term there occurred the greatest 'Tlxodusl' yet seen in Liberty when all the girls moved out of Melrose and into the Phi Gamma Delta, Kappa Alpha, and Sigma Nu fraternity houses after the boys had found homes elsewhere. .Xll room decorations, so cleverly arranged, were transported to the new walls. The same spirit of friendliness and fun has been divided up equally, ODlic'e1'.v at Colonial Hoare: Miss Mitchell, supervisor Mary lane North, Charlotte Nelson, lane Humphries, Penny Paynter, Betty Gill Brueggemang Miss Lindsey. Arrirlrzntr lo Mrs. Keller: Treva Glancy, Wanda Ponder Mariorie Iones, Dorothy Hunt, Iola McClellan, Mrs. Keller Lorena Savacool, lrcnc Payne, Mary Eleanor Botts, Martha McGinty, Margaret Botts, without being diminished, among the three houses. Colonial House, a new dormitory for girls, started out this year with Virginia Graves as president, Ianey Humphries, secretary, Mary lane North, study chairman, and Charlotte Nelson, social chairman. Miss Mary Mitchell is the super- visor. At the end of the first term when Virginia Graves left school, Betty Gill Bruggeman was selected to Hll the presidency. At first, it seemed strange to see the former presidentls mansion full of girls but as weeks passed, it ceased to be the president's home but belonged to the girls for sure . . . pervaded with their gay atmosphere of laughter and comraderie. Women from both dormitories had their meals in the dining hall at Melrose over which Mrs. Keller presided as dietician and supervisor. The kitchen force included Mary Eleanor and Margaret Botts, Treva Glancy, Dorothy Hunt, Marjorie lones, Martha McGinty, Iola McClellan, lrcne Payne, Vllanda Ponder, and Lorene Savacool.

Their president is Charlotte Apple- whiteg the study chairman, Gpal Hoferg and the social chairman, Penny Paynter. The Phi Gamma Delta house is now Harmony House with Mrs. Fristoe as house mother. The girls there are presided over by Sybil Harris, Dorothy Sill, study chairman, and Elizabeth Moreland, social chair- man. The Kappa Alpha house, now Arlington 24 in Zlzc' filth and the sc 4 1 2 I IA 'TMKJNY HOUSE IIILLTOP HOUSE ARLINGTON HALL .. ,,,,,, ,............. 4 Hall, provides dormitory and study rooms for nineteen girls with Mrs. Davidson acting in a supervisory capacity. The president there is Caro- lyn Bealleg study chairman, Doris B. Albertson, and social chairman, Vervia Probst. No matter whether they be occupied by boy or girl, by Greek or Independent, the William Iewell spirit lives in each of those rooms, and all the upsets of war necessitating great exoduses of boys from our campus and girls from their dormitory can never destroy nor even diminish it. The new occupants of Melrose Hall can never make it completely their own, for echoes of the laughter and songs of many girls cannot so easily be removed from a building that has been their college home. Some day Iewell girls will return to Melrose Hall and the boys will be back in their fraternity houses, and few will remember that once . . . for a little while . not so. . . it was dZZ6'i'6d7 Zales of yellow fzezwpczpers .
