which are associated with life in the dorm.

Activities Keep Girls Busy

Most people who were not well
acquainted with the girls’ dorm
viewed it as just another building that
housed more than sixty girls. To the
girls who lived there, however, it was
a home or even a continual slumber
party.

Living in the dorm had many
advantages. Among them was the
convenience of living on campus and
being able to fully participate in
extra-curricular activities. Jill Parker,
a junior from Naples, discussed the
most important advantage. She said,
“You learn to share in the dorm. I’ve
had to share a room for the first time
in my life.”

Dorm activities contributed greatly to
the feeling of unity. Activity director
Phyllis Kent planned numerous trips
and parties. Every weekend, trips
were made to skating rinks, water
slides, and go-cart tracks. Special trips
were planned to Walt Disney World,
Spanish River Park, A CHORUS
LINE, the circus, Broward Mall, and
Vizcaya. A Weight Watcher’s Program
was organized by Miss Karen Snape
and Mrs. Margaret Watkins. At the
weekly weigh-in, a weight gain cost
the offender fifty cents per pound.
There was also a nightly exercise
class to supplement the dieting. These
activities kept the girls busy and
happy.
