Since last summer when Randolph Dorndory was just a hole in t h e ground, everyone at V. E. S. has been wondc6ng what the new building would look like when completed. The finished product is finally taking Shope, with only a few extra touches to be added.
The exterior of the two story build- ing hos the same architecture as the rest of the school and blends in well w't~J the school plant. The interior is colorfully arranged with beige and
RANDOLPH HALL
The students' rooms are equipped with brand-new bunk beds which can be easily converted into twin beds. The mattresses are new and the tradi- tional springs have been replaced with wooden supports which make the beds firmer, more comfortable and easier on the mattresses. Each stu- dent has his own closet averaging six feet in length, with spacious shelves and storage areas. Every room is equipped with two new desks with drawer and book shelves in them.
All the rooms on each floor have been equipped with matching cur- tains which give the exterior of tha
building a homogeneous appear- ance.
A decision on the use of the three large rooms in the basement has not yet been reached; however, a recrea-
tional area will soon be provided there, and partitioned sections may be designed for T. V. use, billiards and ping pong, and perhaps a movie
room. A room for seniors may also prevail in the new dorm. In addition to the recreation area, the basement will offer adequate space for expan- sion of classroom facilities when necessary.
The new dorm comprises nearly a third of the present living quarters and has made obsolete the old and decrepit rooms in the old gymnasium and in the infamous "Hole."
The seniors living in Randolph have one universal opinion about the new dorm. "It's great." One freshman commented that "It's pretty 0 . K." which is about as high an appraisal any building could g e t considering the boy who said it was a freshman
living away from the comforts of home for the first time in his life.
Randolph Dormitory seems well worth its cost of $3 I0,000 in every way. It is an attractive and very functionul building which should serve the present student body, their sons, and their grandsons.
