Furnishings For Senior Hall Were Selected To Make It As Much Like Home As Possible

" T h e idea in selecting the f u r -nishings fo r t h e n e w senior dor -mitory was to m a k e it look a s home like as possible," Miss S a r a h E. Cragwel l , head of t h e h o m e eco-nomics depa r tmen t a n d cha i rman of t h e furn ish ings commit tee , says.

" W e t r ied to f u r n i s h t h e sui tes so tha t each gir l m a y ca r ry ou t h e r idea of home, and still , h a v e f u r n i t u r e t h a t could s tand a suc-cession of gir ls ."

Wall paper was used aa tha basis for decorat ing t h e lobby and par lors . I t was choaea in keeping wi th t h e archi tec ture of the building. Sou the rn co-lonial of the Federa l period. The sise of the rooms a n d t h e sl iding doors, which are c ream colored, also de te rmined tbe selection of the wal l paper . Miss Cragwell expla ined. A n e w type of w a l l decorat ion,

largely used in recent years , is tha t of hav ing one wal l a d i f fe rent color o r d i f fe rent design of wall paper . This has been used in t h e new dormi tory to give impor tance to t h e alcoves in t h e par lors .

Every deta i l was a r r anged to harmonize wi th t h e archi tec ture . Even t h e floors in the par lors , m a d e of very wide oak boards, w e r e chosen wi th th is ha rmony in v i ew.

The lobby was designed no t only fo r a lobby b u t as a social room. To faci l i tate t h e se rv ing of re-f reshments , a k i tchenet te was b u i l t a f e w steps down the hall . N e a r t h e desk is a h a t check room w h e r e da tes and visi tors m a y leave h a t s

I t was selected to give a m a x i m u m of convenience in a m i n i m u m of space. Inc luded in each room is a n unhols tered chai r , two low beds, a chest of d rawers , and a combina-tion desk and bookshelf .

Winlhrop ' i new dormi tory has m a n y unique fea tures . For example . Miss Cragwel l cited the shoe racks and fu l l l ength mi r ro r s on the closet doors, and t b e towel racks in the ba throoms. Ano the r unusua l fea ture is the

shampoo rooms, one in each tvHg. I t is p lanned to fu rn i sh these w i t h baisins and electric equ ipmen t so tha t girls m a y h a v e a place to w a s h and fix the i r ha i r . On each floor there is a n equipped ki tchen and wal l papered dining nook.

In t h e bedrooms electr ic out-lets have been spaced which, Miss Cragwel l said, "wi l l p rovide a l ight a t t h e dresser , t h e desk, and be-tween the beds. T h a t is", she wont on to say, "if t h e f u r n i t u r e is placed as w e had p lanned ."

The archi tects a n d decorators did every th ing possible to m a k e the n e w dormi tory homel ike fo r t h e s tudents . Miss Cragwel l said. Furn i tu re , wall paper , a n d color schemes w e r e chosen wi th th is idea in mind.

Winthrop Keeps Its Mind On Helping Win War

Even though seniors and the campus are elated over the new dormitory and the prog ress it represents, the Win throp community is going along with its contribution toward winning the war.

"The Senior hall is a freshing and r e a s s u r i n g thought, but Winthrop is not being sidetracked in its efforts to make as great a contribu tion as possible toward win ning the war," a college offi-cial says.

Plans for the sccond semester work of the War commit tee are in-complete, says A n n e Hetr ick, chair -man, yes terday.

"We intend to cont inue the work w e have s tar ted a n d to extend ou r p rogram to include as m a n y phas-es of college l i fe as possible," says Anne. "Since Chr is tmas w e h a v e been s tudying a n d compar ing t h e work of the War commit tee here wi th tha t of other schools, a n d w e have fcund that Winthrop ranks favorably ."

Besides the courses in first aid, nutr i t ion, a n d au to mechanics, which were offered th is semester , the commit tee has m a d e ar range-ments fo r five new courses pro-posed to aid the w a r ef for t to be taught in physics, mathemat ics , and home economics next semester .

T h e i e n t r a l commit tee also urges s tudents and facul ty to be con-t inual ly a w a r e of the necessity of cooperat ing wi th t h e committees in collecting sc rap and in selling w a r

s tamps and bonds. Since Septem-ber these two committees have sold over $2000 w a r s tamps and bonds and have collected over lO'/i tons of scrap.

Other plans of the commit tee include more practice a i r - ra ids and the establishing of first aid s tat ions a t s t rategic points on the Campus.

Lenient Senior Privileges Bring Many New Responsibilities To Last Year Class

Along with the new senior priv-ileges of rooming in a "hotel-like" dormitory, has come a new set of rights that embody more freedom for this special set of Winthrop students than the college has ever known before. And with all this, has come a new sense of responsi-bility and obligation.

The new privileges were drawn up by a picked group of students, were passed by the Senate, the stu-dent law-making body, by a fac-ulty committee, and were approved by administrative officials.

Seniors Unreserved In Praise Of New Conveniences, Comfort

The talk of the campus, the talk of the hour, and by all means the talk of the seniors is the new sen-ior dormitory. Practically speak-ing, the don^ is as shining as a newly minted coin, bi't theoreti-ca'ly speaking, it is old, lor it has been the dream of students lor years. And who wouldn't start gabbering like a bunch of mag-pies if their dream suddenly came true?

The first exciting night spent in the senior home started the flow of comments from the not very sleepy occupants. "It's beautiful! 'jit's too good to be true," "It's like living in a hotel and going to school on the sideline", and ' like running into the best piece of luck I've ever had" are just a few of the first-nighters comments.

The afternoon was too full of moving and hauling heavy boxes to stop except for an occasional "oo" or "ah" and "just imagine". The night was full of straightening up and drawing straws for closets and drawers. But after the storm came the calm. The lucky seniors set-tled down to count their many blessings. Among these blessings were a closet apiece, sufficient fur-niture and neat looking furniture, an uncrowded room, a private bath, a full length mirror, and numerous small but convenient fa-cilities.

"Imagine a closet of my own af-ter all these years! If I ever go in there and don't come out, how* 'bout sending an expedition in af-ter me?"

"Just think, I can take a shower in my own bath at three o'clock in the morning if I choose to! Al-

though I'll probably be much too sleepy anyhow, what with the ex-cursion to meals."

"Where's my name card? I've just got to fix that cute little thing on the door!"

"A desk drawer and shelf. Good grief! What'll I do with them? Isn't this luscious?"

"Have you seen the sdcahle lounging corners at the end of each hall? And how about the wonder-ful shampoo rooms?"

"Aren't those parlors the best yet? Did you notice the love seat back in that little nook? Oh, for I Saturday night date!"

Aren't the verandah and the foy er just toQ,good for words?"

Yes, the seniors are really talk' ing. They started when they got back and found out they could move into the dormitory immedi ately if not sooner. They haven't stopped yet. They probably won"t for some time. But they've got something to talk about.

'cretion and their common scase about being in their rooms and cutting oft their lights.

The new rules, by far the most lenient ever to go into effect on the campus, mark a new era on the campus. There will be no light proctors or council members in the new residence hall, and the only such officer will be a house chair-man, elected by the seniors, to serve, as nominal "head of the house."

Officials and students alike feel that the new dormitory marks an appropriate step between college life and the world in general. The new privileges are resigned to bet-ter fit the Winthrop student for complete freedom and complete re-sponsibility after college days. The educational aspect of such a step is great, and was taken into consid-eration before the adoption of the new rules.

Faced with these new rights and this new freedom—conscious that their actions may determine fur-ther regulations and privileges at Winthrop—the seniors can only re-spond to responsibility, carry them out in the best way possible, and thus insure fewer and better rules for future Winthropians.

Seniors Have Rustic And Urban Alarms

Most of the seniors in their new dorm have little need for an alarm clock for getting to their first pe-riod classes.

Indeed, despite the fact that they are farther away from their class meeting places, they are getting there earlier than ever.

For the girls on the back sides of the building there is Dr. Wheel-er's rooster, a faithful and punctual alarm clock if ever there was one. And for the girls on the front ends there is the before 8 o'clock traffic of business people going their work.

A CAROLINA INSTITUTION

The building materials and equipment for the new dormitory are largely Carolinas made. Ap-proximately 40 per cent of the ma-terials came from South Carolina alone.

Out of 23 concerns there were only three other states represented besides South Carolina and North Carolina. The general contractor for the new building was South-eastern Construction Company in Charlotte, N. C.

DH. HERMAN L. FRICK Superintendent of the Win-throp Training school, was awarded the Doctor of Phi-losophy degree by Ohio State university at a December convocation.

Room Keys Unlock Outside Door But Only One Closet Door

One of the unusual differences about the senior dormitory is the fact that each girl will be given a peculiar kind of key to her room, a key that unlocks not only the outside door but also only one of the two closet doors. Though the keys are identical in that they will unlock the main door, only one closet can be unlocked by each of the keys.

Besides this unique feature of dual service keys, there will be a master key for each floor which will open any rooms or closets on that floor, and a grand master key for the entire dormitory, which after the building is completed, will change hands from Superin-tendent Johnson to President Phelps. These master keys are to be asked for only when and if the room keys are lost.

Tentat ive Landscaping P|ans for Senior Hall Cal l For Grassy Front Lawn, Drive In Rear

Tentative plans are being made for landscaping arrangements around senior dormitory, though at present W. T. Clawson, plant superintendent, and R. R. Blanken-ship are unable to say whether or not a professional landscaper will make the final decisions.

Two cement walks over-laH with brick will extend from the two front entrances to Oakland av-enue, and the premises have graded for grass. Beneath the per screened windows are pected soon to be banks of bery, obtained perhaps by thinning out other shrubbery over the cam-pus.

To facilitate the hauling of trunks to the dormitory, a back driveway will be laid out. This

drive will come from behind Joynes hall and circle the back court. Between the drive and the building will be shrubbery of a sturdy nature, while the inner court will probably be sown with grass or made into a sunken gard-en.

The cedar tree left by the Claw-sons will remain at the south end of

the building, and on the north, girls with corner rooms will look out of their windows upon a typi-cal southern short leaf pine set-ting.

Whatever the final landscaping idea, Winthrop's newest residence hall is expected to add to the ac-knowledged beauty of the Win-throp campus.

But seniors who might_ have wanted a corner suite on the sec-ond floor, or third, or who dreamed of some particular room, have done a good bit of rationalizing if they did not draw the spot they wanted.

In fact there is the general dis-position of girls to convince you that the room they did get is far superior to the one they wanted and didn't get. That is the spirit of these Winthrop seniors in their new home.

Pres. Phelps Sees Hall As 'Transition'

Winthrop Head Says It Affords a Step Into 'Outside World' From Undergraduate Life

Saying he is "foolishly proud" of the senior hall, President Phelps makes the point that the new dor-mitory will serve as a transition between the more supervised life in other dormitories and the out-side world.

He points out that the senior hall isn't located outside campus boun-daries by accident but is placed where it is so that as far as regu-lations are concerned, seniors may get a more definite feeling of be-ing "on their own." Commending the house rules for seniors passed by the senate, with the approval of the faculty committee, President Phelps says he approves the more lenient privileges, because "they sound as much like life at home as anything I've seen."

Expressing his desire for the sen-ior's dormitory life to be as much like living at home as possible, President Phelps said that the com-bination of environment Senior hall affords with other educational ex-periences, a senior will have an ideal application of what she has learned about how to live with oth-ers.

According to Dr. Phelps, there is no problem of a name for sen-is no problem of a name for Sen-iors and will be lived in by sen-iors." He remarked that always he referred to the new d^nnitory as Senior hall and that he thought the college community, as a whole, did the same.

Reminiscing, Dr. Phelps said that the campus' newest building is for him, indeed, "a dream finished," which began when he came to Winthrop nine years ago. He said the dormitory is a product of many mental notes made through the years. "An example of this is the full length mirrors in the bed-rooms." He said that when they moved to this campus, he chose his suite on the campus side for the second floor. On a tour of inspec-tion, Mildred, his youngest daught-er, spied a full length mirror in his bedroom, which he. Dr. Phelps hadn't even noticed. Mildred was all questions about what possible use he could have for a full-length mirror, since he had no skirt hang-ing trouble. Agreeing, Dr. Phelps swapped doors with Mildred, not-ing that if ever he had a hand in building a dormitory for Win-thropians, he would suggest full length mirrors to help solve the problem of ill-hanging skirts for Winthrop girls.

Emphasizing that the senior hall is the loveliest he has ever seen, President Phelps says it combines the best features of all the resi-

Journalism Department Begins Second Semester

Majors Will Be Given A.B., With Wide Informational And Cultural Back-grounds for Reporting Current Scene

Something new will be added to the Winthrop offering beginning the second semester.

It will be a department of journalism, offering an A.B. degree with » major in journalism. Required will be 24 hours in journalism plus a rich background in economics, literature, sociology, government, psychology, history, and current affairs, the material out of which modern journalism is made.

Majors will be encouraged, though not required, to acquire a read-ing knowledge of two modern foreign languages in preparation for the greater international mindedness that is sure to follow the World War. An acquaintance with classical knowledge will also be encour-aged. Requirements have been approved by the curriculum commit-tee of the College.

Students may begin taking journalism the first of the sophomore year, take one course each semester as sophomores and juniors, and two courses each semester as seniors. The aim will be to train a limited number of girls well for a restricted list of newspaper positions, in which girls are most likely to find employment. All majors will be expected to be well-informed on current affairs re-inforced with a large fund of general information.

Along with the courses will be lots of practice work on The John-sonian. the Winthrop News Service to Southern newspapers, and a week the last of the senior year on some State newspapers. Seniors in 1943 will do their practice work on the Evening Herald, each working a full week, beginning in February.

Between the junior and senior years, journalism majors will be expected to spend their vacations on a daily newspaper. This is a stand-ard requirement in larger schools of journalism.

Journalism majors will be prepared for reporting, society editing, feature writing, copyreading, publicity work, advisers to high school newspapers, and for more intelligent reading of their daily newspaper and magazine. Since many high schools now have courses in journal-ism, Winthrop journalism majors will be prepared to teach such.

Practice teaching for those journalism majors who may teach jour-nalism or some closely related subject in high school will be provided.

Students wanting more information may see Mr. Furr in the Jour-nalism Room in Main building, who will head the new department.

Ways To Cheat Distances Tumbling In

Seniors have started making plans to "get around the distances" from their senior dorm to other buildings on the campus. Many suggestions have already been of-fered .

Getting to the P.O. and the din-ing hall is the main worry. In sheer desperation, one suggested leav-ing for meals "15 minutes earlier" as the only solution to the dining hall problem, while another, an-xious to save time, pointed out that, "We just wait at the P.O. un-til all three shipments of mail have been put up."

It should be noted that the scien-tific ones are going about the elim-ination of distance in a methodical way. Someone estimated, quite ac-curately, too, that one can save 165 steps to Johnson hall if she goes from the senior dorm, down behind the Conservatory and the other dormitories instead of the usual route through the buildings. Another mathematically - minded senior presented a solution to this problem in her plan to travel in squares rather than in circles.

While the girls are devising short-cuts to Edst campus, they're also alarmed at the possibility of being too early for classes on West campus, since Kinard and Tillman halls are situated so near the new building. The best idea so far for the "long way around" is the route that takes you around the home economics building from the Senior dorm, then to Kinard and the re-spective classrooms.

WINTHROP IS ONE OF US

Rock Hill and Winthrop are inseparable. The interests of one are the interests of the other. What helps Rock Hill benefits Winthrop — prog-ress at Winthrop is progress in Rock Hill.

The hew Senior Hall is an asset to Rock Hill and a great forward step for Winthrop. Visitors to Rock Hill will be impressed by the magnifi-cence of the new building on Oakland. Rock Hill-ians themselves are proud of it.

So it is a pleasure to congratulate Winthrop and the General Assembly in providing such a beautiful "Home" for Winthrop seniors in their last college year.

It will be the continuing purpose of the City of Rock Hill to be the kind of city that Winthrop mothers and fathers want their daughters to spend their four College years in.

Senior Dorm Location, Fulfilling Greater Winthrop Plaii, Follows Education Trend

er campus drawing, though the nursery school was not.

The amphitheatre, according to the sketch of the campus, should have been where the present ath-letic field is—the latter being called for at the site of the newly opened golf course.

A museum building which, if de-veloped as shown on the projected campus, was to go directly back of the auditorium, has never ma-terialized.

Three dormitories, not included in the present campus are on the drawing. These buildings, much like Roddey in appearance, are pictured on back campus at almost the spot where the tennis courts are located. Being connected by| covered walkways with the older dormitories, these housing facili-ties would have seemed more a part of the present campus than does the senior dormitory, which is not shown at all on the archi-tect's drawing, but supposedly

takes the place of the- three resi-lience halls planned.

In order to accommodate the in-creased enrollment of this "dream-ed of" Winthrop, enlarged dining room facilities were provided in the form of an extension at the place of the present laundry plant and power house. Providing for these two, a new power house was to be constructed on the extreme back campus.

Since the drawing was not being followed in the erection of the new dormitory, there was some ques-tion as to where it should be. The three suggested locations were: on Training school athletic field, at the site of the golf course, or facing Oakland avenue.

The Oakland spot was selected, and soon the class of '42 will be living outside these gates in a do-minion all their own. And the greater Winthrop comes more sure-ly into fulfillment, though not ex-actly as planned.

For the first time in the recent campus expansion program the College has departed from an ar-chitect's drawing made around 1920 for a "greater Winthrop." The new senior dormitory, because of educational trends, is apart from other underclass resident halls, and is not located on any of the spots reserved for residence halls in the drawing.

In the "greater Winthrop" is an auditorium at almost the exact site of the present auditorium and conservatory of music. The orig-inal plan called for the building to "jut out" a little in front of the line plan on which Tillman hall and Joynes hall are built, but the drawing was not followed to the extent that the building is in line with Kinard hall, as well as the fact that it was greatly enlarged by the addition of a music con-servatory.

Thurmond hall, also built in 1940, was planned for in the great-

Many of the things yet to come for the new dormitory will be de-

livered shortly after the war, promised President Phelps. He spoke of future plans for finishing touches such as a bell system for every bedroom, an elevator for student use, new electric stoves for the kitchenettes, and softening lamps to be added here and there.

It is a source of gratification to me as the President of The Citadel to learn of the opening of the new Win-throp Senior Dormitory and T wish to extend congratu-lations to South Carolina that this provision has been made so that Winthrop College may extend its influence through accommodating more students.

Few colleges in the United States have so consistent a record of service as has Winthrop, whose influence is felt in every community in the state, and indeed far beyond the borders of South Carolina. Raising the stand-ard of the teaching profession, to say nothing of its other accomplishments, Winthrop has made and is making an everlasting contribution to our people.

Winthrop9s $400,000 Home For Seniors, Open To The Public Tonight Seniors Should Reflect Charm Of New 'Home9 Says Dean

That a building as lovely archi-tecturally as is the new dormitory will educate is rather obviov. Serving as a transition from life in the other dormitories to the life that seniors will lead in society next year, the new building has a definite educative role in the Win-throp life.

"It is a very lovely setting in which to live," said Dean Kate Glenn Hardin, "and it should be a stimulus to seniors to know that

first to live in the new building. They will set traditions for years to come."

Dean Hardin went on to say that the new life in the new resi-dence hall should challenge sen-iors to live up to the best in char-acter and gracious manners. She also mentioned that life in this new home should give seniors a feeling of unity and class spirit, which, she says, is always desirable.

people of the state have such faith in the young womanhood. Inspira-tion of such a campus home should stir the ambitions of seniors to serve and to live by the highest standards, with consideration for others. Especially should this be true of the present senior class, the

W .J. Roddey, on the Board Since 1894, Helps Accept 22 Winthrop Buildings

In a setting of quiet formality a gracious gentleman, W. J. Roddey, smiled out of his keen eyes as he turned on lamps with soft shades of light and talked of his associa-tions as a trustee of Winthrop col-lege for 48 years.

Sometime ago The Evening Her-ald told the facts about Mr. Rod-dey's trusteeship. In 1893 he was elected a member of the board of trustees of Winthrop Normal and Industrial College of South Caro-lina, thus becoming a charter member of the board. In 1895 the

college was moved from its birth place in Columbia to Rock Hill. The first building at the present site was built in 1894 and was accepted by the building committee, of which Mr. Roddey was a member. This building was the administra-tion building, which, with the ex-ception of Margaret Nance Hall, remained the sole building on the campus until Crawford Infirmary was erected in 1896. This building, by the way, was named in honor of Dr. T. A. Crawford, a trustee of the college and a prominent physi-

— of Rock Hill. In 190E the Carnegie Library, a

gift of Andrew Carnegie, was ac-cepted, and in 1929 a wing was added. The size of the dining hall built in 1909 was increased in 1930. Tillman Hall, named in honor of former Governor Benjamin R. Tillman, was accepted in 1912. In this same year Winthrop Training school was built.

By this time acceptances were an old story to Mr. Roddey who is

now and has been all his trustee years a member of this important committee of the board. From that time until now many buildings, which, with their equipment rep-resent an outlay of over $4,500,000, have been built at Winthrop.

Though it has required a certain amount of time, the service has al-ways been a labor of love for Mr. Roddey. Close association with the people who have served on the board of trustees has been Mr. Roddey's most enjoyable experi-ence as a member of the board, and he has always, so he says, got ten "lots of kick" out of the dis cussions at board meetings over the 48 years.

Of the new senior hall Mr. Rod-dey, who visited Oxford Univer-sity, remarked casually, "Oxford's antiquity is wonderful, but com-pared with Winthrop college it is inefficient from the standpoint of equipment, although one could not fairly criticize the character of the education it furnishes."

Clothes Closet For Each Girl Destroys Excuscs For Untidiness

All the clamor about no space in the closets for clothes and no place in the rooms for shoes will be a thing of yester-day in the new senior home.

Each girl has a closet she can call her own with a key that fits but one closet lock. There's room for everything in these spacious closet rooms, with six individual hangers, a

clothes rack, and shoe holder, not to mention the floor and shelf space.

In addition to all the con-venience within, there is a full length mirror on one door In each room. Those seniors who once blamed the lack of cloeei space for the untidiness of their room will have to find another excuse from now on.

We have watched Winthrop grow to its present proportions, from its two buildings in 1895 to its 24 today. And it has been a source of great pride to us to see the growing enrollments, the increasing facilities, and to welcome both students and teachers to 'our "house". We like to "row along with Winthrop.

In the new Senior Hall, Winthrop and Rock Hill has one of its most handsome structures. We congratulate Winthrop. We are pleased that the senior class will have one year out of their four college years in such beautiful surroundings as the new dormitory affords.

LIFE CAN BE BEAUTIFUL!

In a "home" as handsome as this new building, seniors, life should he as beautiful as you have long dreamed of.

BUILDING FOR THE PEACE

A new building like the Win-throp Senior Hall is a commend-able addition to a campus anv any time.

It is particularly commendable right now on \e Winthrop cam-pus. It means this institution is looking ahead to the peace, and preparing young w o m e n for places of leadership in the post-war world.

Idea of New Dorm Born In 1937-38

The idea of a new girls ' dormi-tory originated in 1937-38 when it became necessary for three girls to live in one room. "At least, t ha t was t he immediate cause," says President Shel ton Phelps. "The re is a very distinct social d isadvant-age, as well as physical, to having three in one room; in fact , four would be be t te r socially," r e - , m a r k e d Dr. Phelps.

Back in t he 20's there w e r e th ree girls to a room, bu t it is not known whether or no t a n e w dormitory was considered then . In 1939-40, t he annex of McLaurin , fo rmer ly the music depar tment , was remod-eled to take care of some of the overflow. "At first, moving t he science depa r tmen t to Main audi -tor ium and the other vacan t rooms on third and four th floors was con-sidered," said Dr . Phelps . "But Ti l lman hal l did not offer much in the w a y of remodeling for a resi-dence hal l ," h e added.

And so the only a l te rna t ive and t he most sensible thing to do was to build a senior dormitory . . . and tha t is wha t was done.

" O N E B I G F A M I L Y "

This will be a happy year for the 1942-43 Senior Class at Winthrop. The Seniors have just moved into their new home and during the last year of their train-ing at Winthrop, they will be all together as one big family—a dream of the Administration of the College for a period of years.

Messrs. Hopkins & Baker were the architects em-ployed for this handscme building and the South-eastern Construction Company did a splendid job, as everyone who has inspected the dormitory will testify.

Winthrop is one of the South's outstanding educa-tional institutions for women and it will continue to enjoy the splendid reputation it has established throughout the Nation.

Thanks to the members of the General Assembly and to all who had a part in the construction of this "big family home"' for the Winthrop girls during their last year at this great institution.

Handy Kitchens For Hasty Snacks

When a senior wants a cup of coffee to revive her from her studies, or just a cup of coffee or even a fuller snack any lime during the day or night, a modernly equipped and arranged kitchen is not far from her room.

The new senior dormitory has a kitchen centrally lo-cated on each Ooor. AU these kitchens have double sinks, above and below which is am-ple cabinet space.

A gay breakfast nook is par-titioned off from the main part of the kitchen. The papering is red and gray. Tables and chairs will be furnished later. The kitchens measure t'3"x-16'6". and are next door to the ironing rooms.

Stoves, frigidaires. and uten-sils will be supplied as soon as possible under the existing war conditions.
