| Decking the Halls
by Lainey S. Cronk

 Decked with holiday finery and teeming with
an array of visitors, the women’s dorm halls were bright
and merry at the annual open house on Thursday, December 2.
Christmas lights in every imaginable variety were
draped over windows and strung from ceilings. There
were chips and salsa, fudge, and
other munchies in some of the rooms, and hot drinks in the foyers.
There was much music and laughter and some attempts at movie-watching
in the midst of the hubbub. Admittedly, there wasn’t a great
deal of studying going on.
Male students made up the bulk of the visitors, taking advantage
of their one chance to see how the girls fix up their habitations
or to hang out in the rooms of their female friends. But there
were other guests as well; some teachers, community members, and
assorted other friends made their way through the halls. “Open
house is great,” says senior Joy-Anne Mitchell, “because
you get to just hang out and have fun with people who don’t
usually come to your room.”
