History (continued) RUDOLPH HALL, a modern cafeteria completed in the spring of 1963, is daily used by students for food service. During Christmas vacation 1964-1965, the new ad¬ ministration building was occupied. Open House was held on Sunday, January 24. The building was named C. A. Scriven Hall in memory of a former president of the North Pacific Union Conference. South Hall, the girls’ dormitory was renamed Ruby Nelson Hall, in memory of the wife of Dr. Philip Nelson, missionary to India. When the new administration building was completed, the music department moved into the old administra¬ tion building from Manous Hall, which was razed in the spring of 1965. The new boys’ dormitory was named Witzel Hall in honor of Elder C. L. Witzel, who at that time had been affiliated with Auburn Academy for 22 years. The staff completed a self-evaluation study which led to accreditation with Northwest Accrediting Association in 1965-1966. During the summer of 1965, the heating was convert¬ ed to natural gas for several campus buildings and the factory. This closed the old sawdust-fired boilers in the power house east of the academy. The home economics department moved into their new quarters in the basement of Nelson Hall during the school year 1965-1966, and the industrial arts depart¬ ment expanded their classroom area by utilizing the rooms formerly occupied by the home economics department. The school farm was discontinued; the livestock sold, and a 2700-foot long airstrip was constructed on the farm. On January 1, 1967, Harris Pine Mills assumed management of the Auburn Academy Furniture Facto¬ ry. The factory had $950,000 in sales during its last year of operation. During the summer of 1967, Harris Pine Mills expanded by acquiring and installing additional modem equipment. A complete renovation of Gibson Hall was started that summer and finished during the next school year so that the building could be used effectively as an overflow girls’ dormitory. As an ASAA project students and staff raised over $10,000 for carpeting the hallways and offices of the new administration building in 1967-1968. HARRIS PINE Mills provides work opportunities for 150 students. VICTOR H. Fullerton, principal, 1965-1968. The 141-member graduating class of 1968 was the largest in the history of the school, as well as in the history of the denomination. The class donated to the school a 30-foot bell tower constructed on the lawn south of the new administration building. Since 1919-1920 Auburn Academy has expanded greatly in facilities as well as in students. The first graduating class in 1920 had five members; the class of 1922, 16; 1931,25; 1939, 44; 1944, 62; 1948; 84; 1956, 104; 1961, 116; and 1968, 141. A total of 2968 students have been graduated since the school’s found¬ ing. The current enrollment of over 550 students is the largest in the history of the school making Auburn Academy the largest Seventh-day Adventist boarding academy in North America.
