Of course, it doesn ' t necessarily logically follow that we kept them, but the annual pursuit provided a lot of fun, from the Friday night hayride to the I Gotcha Banquet Sat- urday night. The proud pursuers also took captured members of the opposite gender to the Man- chester-Navy Pier football game, on picnics, to a Saturday morning cook-out breakfast, and to a treasure hunt. Earmarks of Breakaway week-end were eternally tied-up phone lines, valiant-looking coeds, men who looked like hard-chased game, and a general air of merriment.

:L of p. roareii Manchester College really met the challenge in 1957! We saw the mercury in the ther- mometer in front of the administration build- ing rise upward rapidly past the minimum goal of $5 50,000, and we knew that the March of Progress established goal of $750,- 000 would soon be realized. Responsible for the success of the March of Progress were behind the scenes folks, the importance of whom we shall never fully realize. Ex-Presi- dent Vernon F. Schwalm, Mr. A. Wayne Carr, Dr. Carl W. Holl, Mr. G. William Sayers, and Dr. Harry Weimer constituted the original fund raising committee. Extensive soliciting was conducted in Brethren churches in the Manchester area; pledges were made by stu- dents, alumni and friends; and several foun- dations, notably Lilly Endowment, Inc., do- nated $75,000 for a new science building. By mid- January, 1957, the total had reached $778,337, making a new science hall and a student union more than castles in the air.
