74 The first floor of the dormitory on Twenty-fourth Street was completed sufficiently for some of the men to reside there, but many had to find housing elsewhere. Part of the problem was solved by renting an apartment house located just one door south of the college Vocational Building at 2454 Adams Avenue. This arrangement was for a short time only, because it did not take long to complete the rest of the remodeling in the dorm. On January 16, 1942, Mr. Don C. Sparks, former NYA Director, left the dormitory for work at Hill Field and Mr. A. J. Sperry, one of the State Youth directors, took his place. The students were very excited about moving back to the "better than ever" dormitory. It was a treat for them to have showers in the building where they lived. An additional fifty new boys moved in for the Winter Quarter, thus making a total of 120 fellows living there. As soon as the fellows became settled, they formed an organization and elected new officers. There was genuine interest in the college intramural programs and three basketball teams were organized by them. One was called the Women Haters; another, the Black Devils; and the third, the Red Onions. They enjoyed living in their attractive home where they were permitted to give parties and bring their own girl friends. Other times the student-nurses were the only girls invited to these social activities.
