The New Acorn Room "After March 10 we will be located in Room 16," was the sign that hung over the Acorn room in the basement. About March 1 we decided to move from the dark, poorly-ventilated room in the basement to the comfortable, well-lighted, southeastern room on the third floor. Armed with a complete, modern house-cleaning equipment, we invaded the room. It was formerly used by the band and orchestra, but with the consent of Professor Nichols we placed the instruments in the room across the hall. After three days the room took on an entirely new appearance. The walls were newly calcimined, the woodwork freshly painted, the windows washed, the rug thoroughly cleaned and carefully laid and the furniture neatly arranged. All this blended with a gentle eastern breeze furnishes enough material for any kind of inspiration during any period of the day. A merry crowd danced with the "Acorns" at their dance on Friday, March 13. The hall was decorated in brown and green for St. Patrick and the Acorn. Shamrocks and acorns bedecked the walls and helped to carry out the season's decoration. The punch corner was in the shape of a large shamrock, through which delicious punch was served during the entire evening. The Return of the Prodigals 1.

And then the Principal, who had compassion, said unto them. "Unless ye repent and make right your sins, ye shall no longer be among us." 7. Then there came forth from the sinners a great murmuring. They lifted up their voices and spake in council unto the master teacher, "We have sinned against thee and in sight of the Student Body; therefore, let us go unto them and before thee to apologize." 8. On the morning of the fourth day, when the great multitude of students had assembled, they bowed before him with a spirit of repentance, and there was great solemnness.
