Campus that is . ♦ On May 20, up on the hill, a historic ground-breaking ceremony marked another milestone in our progress toward a permanent campus. Meanwhile, things have not been at a standstill on the lower campus. In the cluster of temporary buildings, “expansion” is still the watchword. Six more classroom buildings have been added to the previous nineteen to implement the program of the five college divisions. Noteworthy is the ex- pansion in the Social Sciences, in the Industrial Arts and Natural Sciences, in Physical Education and in the Arts and Languages. And as for the Education Division, it is evident that prospective and in-service teachers alike are converg- ing upon State in ever-increasing numbers. The Activities program (under the Dean of Students and his associates) is accelerating to provide more outlets for the development of well-rounded personalities. The booming Band bolsters school spirit, while the Orchestra, the Chorus and the Madrigal Singers cater to more aesthetic moods. The Speech area offers a pleasing variety of dramatic performances and extensive practice in forensics. The Forty-Niner, Prospector and Hornspoon publications are forging ahead in the media of journalism. Clubs, fraternities and sororities—social, professional, service and hon- orary-keep on multiplying. And then there are the “Coffee Hour” get-togethers, the Evenings on Campus.” the forums, the regular and special assemblies. Each is designed to meet the diversified interests of students and give them something permanent here on our temporary' campus. Does all this at State spell p-r-o-g-r-e-s-s? We are inclined to think it does. OLDEST BUILDING on campus is the Associated Student Body Office, which was moved from the original site. Pictured is Dean Robert D.
