Duke Hospital, InterCom Page 5 Baker House Baker House has elianged its face somewhat since the last issue of Inter-Com. The old switchboard is gone, the ladies who served it are gone, and w'ith Mrs. Holt’s departure we are now faced with the awesome prospect of sewing on our own but tons, taking our own calls, and just generally being our own keepers. From time to time the mailman is kind enough to bring us a note from one of the former residents of the house bearing tales of success on other fronts which give us pleasure and serves as a stimulant in our work. It is with no little pleasure that we welcome the Ladies Auxiliary and their fine coffee shop back. For those of us who are addicted to caffeine in a liquid form, that little shop is priceless. Just for the record we like the ladies too. Of late the radio and television room has been very popular, what with football season and the World Series, we are of the opinion that if anyone wants a particular housetaff man it will behoove him to ring the following numbers: 24-257 The July additions to the house- staff roster seem to be pretty well integrated, everyone seems to be get ting used to the other fellow and once again we have a somewhat large and happy family. The Baker House Irregulars are at it again and on any given Friday evening you maj" find them disi>ens- ing personality, charm, and very good spirits!—Don McGrath.
