We found everyone in that ten-o'clock-time-for- food feeling and some of the girls and Spudu were gath- ered around the coffee table to finish off a plate of chocolates and a basket of fruit, and to talk over the events of the day. Probably the session would end by singing the song writ- ten by one of the girls for the successful open house they had in October, or a long-distance call from Hlohnnyi' would cut short the vocals. The fire in the fireplace would burn to embers and the girls would go back to study or read, with the music of various radio stations seeping through the walls. Anyway, we took the picture urged the camera man to have more candy and an apple, then saw him to the door, thanked him for his trouble, closed the door and called it a day. Lights were still burning in many windows of Melrose, just down the slope and up another, and many lessons were just getting started. We had seen the fun and frenzy of dormitory living. 23

We were puffing by the time we reached Parker, newest addition to the list of houses for the accommodation of the large number of girls enrolled in the past three years. We stepped over 22 the housemother, invited us in and called Mrs. Keller, the dining room superintendent at Colonial House. Three of the girls attracted by the noise which the three of us necessarily make, came in to see what was going on and they consented to pose i' for our picture. About I5 girls live in the i gray and white house just down the hill from Colonial, and the two houses eat toge- ther, have their formal din- ners, and share the number of guests they can have. All the girls who lived at Parker this year were new- comers to Iewell and learned her customs, traditions and spirit together. We enjoyed visiting with Mrs. Burns, Mrs. Keller and the girls, but it was late, and they had to study, so we went up the hill to Colonial . . .

Moe- Qjresidezzf and fpemzs Dr. H. I. Hester, vice-president of William lew- ell, has been friend and confidante to scores of students who have responded to his warm sympathy and understanding and have respected his common sense and good judgment. Though busy with ad- ministrative duties as well as those which his classes entail, Dr. Hester is never too busy to sit down and talk it overi' with a student who comes knocking at his office door seeking advice. Miss Alma F. Hunt, dean of women, has been on the campus for two years. In that time she has proved herself a wise counselor and a friend to the girls who consult her for advice in problems small 24 hgh' or large, or who just drop by her office for a minute to chat with her. She capably fills her position with intelligence, and a delightful extra,,' a sense of humor. The position of dean in the college is always an important, responsible one, but with the added duties of guiding veterans and helping them with problems which may confront them, it assumes even a larger importance. Dean Leonard A. Duce in his first year in this capacity, has fulfilled the demands of his position with wisdom and good humor, for which he is sincerely respected and well-liked by students and faculty.
