Girls in the Dark As Electric Fails

More than 300 Annex students who crowded Radcliffe's Cabot Hall during as dormitory mass meeting were left in the dark last night when the overloaded central powerline blew out and blacked out the entire first floor of the building.

Candles commandeered from dormitory mantels supplied emergency lighting for almost an hour while President W.K. Jordan, Dean Mildred P. Sherman, and Joan Projansky '49, president of Student Government, spoke to the group. Cambridge Light Company officials repaired the damage.
