It is necessary to have one’s moral support, Abilene Christian College is one of the best equipped schools of the brotherhood. It has only been in existence 24 years. The present plant consists of seven buildings The new plant including all of the debts is worth $750,000. Since the college decided to move from the old location two years ago $350,000 in cash has been raised. The college purchased 875 acres of land northeast of the city which was divided into lots. 160 acres have been sold for $275,000 but all of this has not been paid since they were sold on credit. There remains 585 acres of land to be sold. Here Signed: J. S. Arledge. f-EAT U IX 5 HAUb Tf«p uH SJjgsK twtteitH (tWt iEM«v X X mv i Sflv p v ■ • iL tS «JiO Spjtf-a fv$ «Wicl piping lifliHv!

The select members of the organization went to Spur during the latter part of the winter term and gave a one hour concert at the Spur high school.

Leslie is a senior in the college and is Mr. Huff has shown his ability in ways other than acting. He was an excellent stage director and was Business Manager of the club during the 1928-1929 session. The role of “Montague,” father of Romeo, in “Romeo and Juliet,” was played by Mr. Huff. In this play his work was very outstanding. There have been many Miss Rollins entered A. C. C. in the fall of 1927 and since that time she has done outstanding work in dramatics. There has never been found in Abilene a greater talent in dramatic work than is found in Virginia.

This was just another step which led to the completion of seven buildings within a year and a half of time. This steel raising is mentioned because it was the most difficult part of the construction, each beam weighing 4,280 pounds and there are five of them. The old “Shady Dell,” for many years the home of the president of Abi- lene Christian College burned. This saddened the hearts of many of the ex- students because it had been the place of many good times for them. The new “Shady Dell,” without the shade, is a very beautiful building.

As this book goes to press there are four couples running neck and neck for first honors. Jesse Wood, being a track man, leads Gertrude a dizzy pace towards the tape of first honors. But there is D. T. Travis, a weight man, who isn’t as slow as he looks,,who with little Nell are staying right in there. Zeb Wvns and Elton Bowden, Brunette and Blonde respectively, although having had no track experience have a technique all their own that bids fair to cop high place. Dawson Brown and Nell Harp are doing well; M. G. Walling and Thelma Bernard are rounding the corners at a fast clip. !loy Baker and Pauline Crews, though not quite so seasoned as others, are doing well develop; and — there are those seasoned The prize for this consistent courting couple is to be a hand tooled and die stamped rolling pin, having especial mag- netic powers towards blockheads.

Walks, water and sewer lines; trees, shrubs and grass have been planted. This great school plant has been built and equipped and the school moved without the loss of a single recitation. All this labor and sacrifice has been made that the Bible might be taught to the youth of the land; that the government and the church might be preserved. GIRLS’ DORMITORY In addition to the above there has been built a beautiful resi- dential addition to Abilene, Abilene Heights,” with paved streets, and highly restricted as to classes of buildings, with Bus service by the West Texas Utilities Co.
