ing service, an open house in vari-

Girls Make Noise,
But Icebox Louder
As every one knows, girls'
dormitories are usually thought
of as the noisiest places on the
earth. True, the girls are some-
times a bit noisy, but all of the
noise over at the dorm isn't
made by the girls. No sir-ee!
Why sometimes the girls them-
selves can't be heard because of
the racket some of the dormi-
tory machinery makes. The ma-
chinery in mind is a twenty-
year-old refrigerator which
rests peacefully in the dormi-
. tory kitchen.
Every girl in the dormitory is
lulled to sleep by the steady
knock-knock of the old wormout
motor. Then in the mornings
the knock always sems a bit
louder when the girls are try-
ing to catch that extra forty
winks.
This particular item which
has seen so many years servica
at the girls' dorms would, be
missed by each girl if it were to
be taken away. Even with all
its noise the sentimental attach-
ment to it could never he for-
gotten. ■
HENSLEY NAMED
COUNCIL PREXY
First meeting of girls' council of
this semester was held Wednesday
night in the girls' parlor for the
purpose of electing a president of
the dormitory-at-large.
Betty Fry, Alma Lou Ator, and
June Hensley were the three girls
selected as candidates to run for
the office.
Votes were cast by secret ballot
throughoue Thursday, and , June
Hensley was selected president of.
the dormitory. • .
Representatives "to the house
council from each floor of the dor-
mitory were as follows: MargQ
Browning representing upper
Louis; Betty Howard, upper
Ghamberlin; Mary Templeton, up-
per Cough-, Pat Carother, lower
Gough; Margaret Mahood, lower
Chamberlin; and Betty Benton,
lower Louis.
