A great deal of attention has also been given to the brothers' indivi dual rooms this year. New cai'pet- ing, furniture and painting are only a few of the many improvements made in this area. Likewise, Mamie's room was also re-decorated and to a degree, made more com fortable by the addition of several new pieces of furniture, and various other accessories. One of our most notable acheiyements in the cultural area during 1966-67 has been the addition of a grand piano in our living room. Thanks to the bargaining powers of Dr. C. Farley, our faculty advisor, the piano came at only a minimal cost. T'nere are, of course, other im provements being planned for the house and in perhaps a year or two.
