On the evening of February eighth. Carthage Col- lege was rocked by words pronouncing disaster The P.E.C. is on fire! At one point. flames were shooting thirty feet into the air. Fortu nately, no one was injured by the fire since the Monday night class had just been dismissed. and the building was emp- ty at the time. For several hours. frantic students and faculty members helplessly stood by as the four alarm fire burned out of control. When they,were allowed to enteT' the REC. however. students and faculty alike. united under a common goal. worked to save everything possible. Students moved equipment. swept water. and dried the main floor of the gym on their ha nds and knees. Tuesday. February ninth. morning classes were cancelled to allow fatigued students to get some much needed-sleep. Although the fieldhouse roof continued to smolder for several days. the worst was over. Classes were rescheduled. physical activi- ties were shifted about. and administrators took stock of the damage.
