After the tire Fire Destroys Old Main Sixty-four-year Old Main, oldest building on the Buena Vista college campus and one ot Storm Lake's landmarks, died a flaming but maiestic death September 27, l956. Even before the Storm Lake tire trucks rushed to the scene, college students were hurrying in and out of the building to rescue records and equipment. All of the college's business record as well as those of the registrar were saved by college students who finished while the upper story was wrapped in flames. The last ot the records were recovered shortly before the root colldpsed. The blaze, which started in the cupola of the three-story brick structure about lO:3O p.m., burned furiously throughout the night and by 8 a.m. Friday only the tour walls of the building remained standing. Old Main housed the college's administrative oFiices, the music department and speech, sociology, history, government, and dramatics classrooms as well as the Buena Vista College Little Theater. 15 X i,,'m':.w' A .ry my ., V K X wifi , , ' if. . .

The Shelterhouse at Chautauqua Park was the scene of the freshman picnic Monday night, September lOth. This was sponsored by the faculty and served by members of the student council. The next evening the student council sponsored a freshman mixer at Beaver Hall. A special freshman convocation was held at the close of the orientation activities. At this time the presidents of the campus organizations explained the activities and purposes of their respective organizations.

We laugh at the iokes, we read all the ads. We note all the news, we take up the fads. When we praise the paper, we scare those who laugh. We're on the staff! Brash though it may seem, we ot the Tack staff do think our little newspaper is swell. We've tried to do our best on it and see that it contained things ot interest to everybody. Throughout the year We've made announcements of coming events, reported on past events, and added bits ot humor here and there. We've enjoyed it!

This is the second year in succession that he has received this award. In i956 he was named to the iowa All-Conference Football Team along with his teammate Jerry Ibach. Lew, as his triends call him, has been a strong bulwark in the B.V. line for the past tour years. One word adequately describes Lew's playing in the past tour years-DEPENDABILITY. He was al- ways there when he was needed. Even when everyone else seemed to be tiring, Lew was always there to give us the spirit. Don Lewis is a real competitor and sportsman, truly deserving to be named most valuable player. To those who saw Don Lewis play during his tour years as a Buena Vista gridder he will be remembered for his outstanding ability and drive which he always displayed. 74 Basketball Squad ROW ONE: Lanny Grigsby, Jim Grider, Dick Zubradt, Ted Edwards, John Swanson, Dave Harper, Don Baker.

The Circle K Club's motto has been adopted from the motto of its sponsor, namely, We Build. The local club is a member of Circle K International, which holds a national convention every year.
