I lived in the house my sophomore year (1967-68). Louis Fletcher was our "housemother".

I remember a fantastic water fight (until somebody turned off the water). Hal Prentice's records were packed so tight that none of them were damaged (although the rest of the room was destroyed).

I also remember singing "Just the way you look tonight" in 8 part harmony for couples who got "pinned". Louis was our conductor.
