8 CAMPUS MIRROR House Warming for Miss Gertrude Dodge On Saturday evening, March 18. there occurred in Packard Hall on Spelman Campus one of the merriest surprise parties that one is apt to help enjoy, ever. The occasion was not a birthday nor a bride’s shower, hut a housewarming shower on Miss Dodge’s possession of a love ly hath room which has been provided as part of the repair work at Packard Hall. The very substantial gifts of her cam pus friends were a panel mirror which has been fitted into a door of her room and a nice wall cabinet witli a lovely mirror. Guests kept coming from seven o’clock until after nine. Everyone brought some small gift, chosen usually for use, but al ways for fun. Many gifts were accom panied by rhymed messages for the occa sion. To name them all would fill a col umn. Miss Dodge was completely sur prised and wondered how anyone could have put such a thing over on her. She rallied immediately and was kept busy much of the evening untieing her gifts and easily kept her guests in roars of laughter at her clever, natural fun over the gifts. Mrs. Flora Goss Willis, assisted by Mrs. Latimer and Mattie Fowler served de licious coffee and cakes. A staff member who is a Spelman alum na and who lived in Packard in her stu dent days said that on this occasion “the very walls laughed!” The recent generations of Spelman stu dents know Mi s Gertrude Dodge as the very efficient campus housekeeper, but in the years since she came to Spelman from the state of Maine many generations of students have known Miss Dodge as the very business-like person who directs the work of the troop of women who keep the buildings in order, see to the guest rooms, teachers’ rooms, class rooms and assists at room inspection. Do we live clean and tidy at Spelman? Yes, we do. and Miss Dodge knows well how to have us so. All her years in the South have never changed her quick, definite speech of the Maine shores. Her taste in books and pictures and her interest in politics would surprise some of us. and her skill in fine needle work gives us every now’ and then some fine piece to feast our eyes on.
