Scabbard and Blade

"Believing that military service is an obligation of citizenship, and that the greater opportunities afforded college men for the study of military science place upon them certain responsibilities as citizens ... "

This portion of the constitution of the Na­tional Society of Scabbard and Blade sums up the ideals of Company K-12. The company as­sumes many responsibilities within the Battle Group such as sponsoring the food and clothing drive and the military ball. The company also accepts responsibility of running the blood drive as smoothly as possible.

Scabbard and Blade is the highest military honor at Marshall for junior and senior cadets.

Marshall University Concert Band The concert band is under the direction of Dr. Wilbur Pursley and is composed of students in­terested in improving their musical talent and in contributing to the improvement of the band.

The band gives two public concerts each year in addition to touring different parts of the Tri­State area and visiting different High Schools.

Contributing to the support of our team, the band plays at all of the home basketball games. Although it was not compulsory for every student to attend all of the games, a large majority of the band turned out for every game.

The Symphonic Choir, under the direction of Pro­fessor Lee W. Fiser, sings for many activities on and off campus. The choir is a select group of fifty singers and is truly one of the finest per­forming groups on campus. Pictured above, the choir sings for the "Life Planning Week" ban­quet, held in the University Cafeteria.

Each year the choir takes a tour of the different

High Schools in the area. Last year the choir toured the Southern part of the state, while this year a tour of Northern West Virginia was planned. Much credit goes to this fine group for the time and effort they have contributed to present Marshall University with a fine vocal organization.

Lucy Prichard Hall

Lucy Prichard Hall, the home of two hundred women students, was opened in 1955. The dorm was dedicated in honor of a former professor and prominent citizen of Huntington.

The dormitory is governed by Its council and the housemother, Mrs. Marple.

Some of the activities during the year which

168

brought fun and fellowship were the dorm dances, Christmas caroling followed by a party, and their project of donating toys to the chil­dren at the Orthopedic Hospital.

Entertainment has been provided in the lounge through the use of the piano, hi-fi, and the new television set.

Shown here 'with some of the toys going to the Orthopedic H ospital are Paulette M essinger, Trisha Ball, Sharrie Tillson, Judy Getty, and Frances Forsyth .

Hodges Hall is the campus home for 165 mem­bers of the stronger sex, both mighty upperclass­men and lowly freshmen. Living in Hodges is one of the most hectic-yet fulfilling-experi­ences of Marshall University life.

Late evening finds the lights of Hodges still burning, as its residents perform a multitude of tasks-often including study. The dorm has two dances a year, one each semester. In addition,

Hodges Hall

the residents have a "treat night," during which the men are provided with either two Fat Boys or a pizza and pop.

Many wide and varied interests are represented in Hodges Hall-journalists, economists, psy­chologists, professional bridge players, and TV watchers. All live in near harmony under one roof with a minimum of clashes.

Laidley Hall

Laidley Hall, opened in 193 7, is a residence hall named in honor of Marshall's founder, John Laidley.

Some of the activities that the dormitory spon­sors include dances, house parties, a Christmas preceded by caroling, picnics in the fall and spring, a party in honor of the graduating seniors, annual open house, weekly vesper services, and the annual Maypole dance and coronation of a queen on Parent's Weekend.

172

Laidley Hall has an active dormitory govern­ment centered around elected officers, eleven counselors, the dormitory director, and the Dean of Women. The dormitory, which has single, double, and triple rooms available, was remod­eled last summer.

The chief aim of Laidley Hall is to be "the home away from Home" for all its residents, stressing friendliness and cooperation.

"H ow do you tie the bow?"

" Ouch! Not so tight!"

suits. Soon to be lost are the title of "newest dorm" (with the scheduled construction of a new women's dormitory), and the long name (with President Smith's request for suggestions for a new name).

University Hall

As one approaches Old Main, he hardly realizes that besides classrooms and offices, there is a dormitory inside. The dull appearance of the outside in no way reveals what is behind the walls. The spacious rooms can be decorated to individual tastes, and the lounges, which used to be dining halls , are used both by the girls and

176

different campus organizations. The girls are a lively lot. They have activities

such as open house, Christmas parties, pizza par­ties, and are kept busy by their bridge sessions and a few study hours.

If asked what they think of living in Univer­sity Hall, the girls would say, "It's a great life."

Playing cards is a favorite pas­time of University Hall girls.

Inter-Dorm Council The Inter-Dorm Council, which .is composed of three representatives from each dorm, serves as governing body representing the five dormitories on the campus. They meet bi-monthly to help unify the efforts and to improve the life of the residents of the dormitories. The council strives to promote a spirit of cooperation which will benefit all the residents and in turn be beneficial to the university.

The council tries to integrate the social life of the men and women who live on campus by supporting group functions between the dorms. The !.D.C. also awards a rotating trophy to the dormitory with the highest over-all academic average each semester.

Through this experience a greater insight is gained in the knowledge of human behavior.
