Summer Scholar's Life: Quite a Happy One; Concerts and Lunches, Dances and Punches

Although many students have telephones after the first week, the eight messengers are still kept busy carrying notes to inform young women that their dates have arrived. This Service makes it unnecessary to shout "Hey, Susie," when trying to get in touch with a dormitory resident, Miss Williston noted, terming the Message Service "one of our most important functions."

"A quiet place to entertain guests" is the social program's description of the Grays 1 Common Room. It is open Monday through Friday from 9 A.M. to 11 P.M., and weekends from 1 P.M. to 11 P.M. Magazines, newspapers, or a quiet game of cards or chess are available.

The Harvard Union, open Monday through Friday from 8 A.M. to 10 P.M., boasts a television set in its card room. Facilities at Phillips Brooks House include ping-pong, pianos, sitting rooms, meeting rooms, and a kitchenette. The building is open Monday through Friday from 9 A.M. to midnight, but permission for the use of meeting rooms and the kitchenette must be obtained in advance from Miss Roberts, the secretary.

For the hungry, a refreshment wagon will come to the dormitories Sunday through Thursday evening with milk, orange juice, doughnuts, and cake for sale.

Comprehensive calendars of Summer School activities are posted in Grays, Sever, Weld, and the Union. Additional information on extra-curricular activities and events in Cambridge and Boston can be obtained from Mrs. Clouser in Grays 2.

The social events continue at a steady pace throughout the Summer School session. In fact, the evening before final examinations there will be an Ivy Films performance of Ten Days that Shook the World.
