This time, we are confident that it will remain so. Upon walking in the door, it is immediately apparent that Loker Commons has finally outgrown its awkward phase.

Kinsella ’07, moved earnestly around the Tonkens Room in Winthrop House. Her classic pearl earrings matched the string of pearls around her neck, off-setting a casual outfit of jeans and a burgundy corduroy blazer.
