Hanthorne

House President: Katelyn Grant

Hanthorne House, a women's residence hall house, began during the 1994 fall semester at the lower level of Tess Morgan Hall's north side. It was formed due to the expansion in the number of women's houses when Walker Hall reopened that fall.

The house is named after Cleo Hanthorne Moon, Graceland's poet laureate who served as the college's librarian during 1935-45 and 1956-1969.

Hanthorne's first house council members were Amy Hough (president), Megan Clinefelter (senator), Monica Nielsen (SAC and peer counselor), Allison Taylor (COSA), Carrie Rubottom (chaplain), Musudeen Sinnah-Yovonie (intramurals), Tai Field (crescent), Robin Smith (treasurer), and Angie Richardson (historian).

During the first year, a sun was chosen as the house symbol, and purple and gold were selected as the house colors.
