Winger Memorial Arts Budding A dream of a decade will soon be a reality. Past, present, and future collegians await with eagerness the inauguration this fall of the facil- ities of the Winger Memorial Arts Building. Despite execrable weather, a baffling strike threat, material shortages, and high costs in the year and a half of construction, progress has been steady under persistent administrative prodding. Extensive landscaping is contemplated to endow the east portion of the campus with a new look. Resulting from this new addition will be relocated tennis courts and softened water for Oakwood Hall. Upon final completion, the $400,000 brick and stone edifice, replete with comfortable offices, spacious display rooms, functional laboratories, modern classrooms, and a re- hearsal-recital auditorium, will serve the home economics, music and art departments. The majestic simplicity of this fine arts building will be a symbolic tribute to the memory of Dr. Otho Winger, the builder of Manchester College. Brick by brick, building by building, Manchester progresses towards the future President Schwalm, with his administrative aids, turns from blueprints and finance drives to remove the first shovelful of dirt 22
