Clubs Ask to Rent Claverly Senior House

Claverly Senior House may become a club headquarters.

Two organizations, Yearbook Publications and the Bat Club, early this week applied for permission to rent the three-story brick building-sandwiched in a courtyard behind Claverly.

Negotiations to lease the building are currently in progress between representatives of the organizations and Arthur D. Trottenberg '48, Operating Manager of College Dormitories and Houses.

Yearbook Publications currently occupies several offices in the Student Activities Center on Dunster Street. The staff of the Yearbook has found these quarters satisfactory, R. Stephen Berry '52, newly-elected editor-in-chief, said last night, but it wants the advantages and prestige of having a building all to its self.

The Bat Club, a social group, now has quarters at 20 Holyoke Street but expressed a desire to move some time ago to Associate Dean Watson. Watson said he had received no word of Yearbook Publications' bid for the building.

Claverly Senior is now in use as a dormitory but is scheduled to be one of the "outhouse" units which will be devoted to other services beginning next year.
