Butler Hall
Well, pinch me and see if Em alive
—the girls arc living in the boys dorm!
For some time, we have wondered
what the boys do in their dorm aird
now' we can find out. First, we moved
and then we found we were not in the
boys dorm at all, as we were told by
President 1 rigg at the last chapel
meeting. We now line in Butler Flail
named' for the lirst ’. ice-principal of
the institution who lost his life in
World AVar IF
Butler Flail is now taking on a
more feminine air. Ha\ e you noticed
how the windows are changing from
straight ctutains to ruflles? T'he girls
are very happy about it all, but some
say, “Oh! we don’t ha\e a bath tub.'
Don't let that worry us, mother may
not ha^e one either so what’s good
enough for mother is good enough
for us.
The boys have a little chip on iheir
shoulders but it will soon fall off.
Tliey know they want to sec the girls
happy.
