The Play's Not Over Yet Not very long ago PSTC was sadly lacking in physical facilities. There was a fine spirit, a dedicated faculty, a capable administration, and many other non-physical assets; but all Peruvians could do about the phyiscal plant was to apologize for the present and to hope for a better future. The last building to be erected on the campus was Delzell Hall, constructed in 1939. '

WHISPERS FROM MORGAN By Linda Nygaard
The approaching of finals has not seemed to affect the girls at Morgan Hall. But, as the final days draw nearer and nearer, the lights seem to stay on later and later.

She ··will be leaving us again right after finals to join her husband in California, where he is stationed in the Navy. Christmas was an especially joyous time for many of the girls this year.

The end of the v a c a t i o n marked the "beginning of the end"-of the first semester, and almost everyone is "keyed" for the big "wind-up" session. Back from student teaching off campus are Henry Turner and Steve Banks. For some, such as Alan Wheeler, Jim Kemp, Steve Banks, and Bob Fisher these final two and a half weeks since Christmas put the finishing touches on their education here at Peru and mark the start of a new life. Good luck "on the outside," fellows. Of course, there are also the seemingly inevitable a i 1men ts that occur. Harry Whitney finally walked that "last mile" during Christmas vacation, and had his shoulder dislocation operated upon. Two down, no more to go, Harry! Jack Johnson got a "fat" ankle during ·the' Wesleyan game. Jim Kemp had to have an infected tooth treated; and Pat Cooper showed up with a rash. Maybe you're allergic to exam w e e k , Pat. You know, a dormitory is not just an inaminate object. It 1s a home for human beings, and these human beings are what actually make up a dormitory-not the brick and steel and wood that went into its "shell." On the basis of that statement, Majors Hall is a dormitory-and a good one, because the men in it have lived together well this past semester. It is to be hoped that this will always be true. Remember, as Katy O'Connor says, "Stay happy!"
