I was assigned a room in Pem East [Pembroke East] way upstairs. It was called the Alumni Room. It was underneath the attic where they stored the suitcases and where all the mice ran around. It had no window to the outside. It had no closets inside, but there were two beds in there. So, when I got to my room, this other young Jewish girl from Manhattan arrived. Her name was Pat [Patricia] Hirsch Frankel, who was also initially turned down as well.
