The students did everything. It was during these years that two hours of work daily was required by each student. Students did not receive any pay for their work as it was considered part of their room and board. Students were yard workers, brick masons, cooks and maids. They even took care of the CBI pigs and oows. The cows were kept in a building located near our present day Student Union: they provided milk for the campus. The pigs were down on the present ball diamond. They finished the food scraps, and proved to be good eating after the butchering was finished each year. Campus Day was what they called it. Students would be armed with rakes and brooms, busily cleaning up the grounds. Some would wash win- dows and doors and others would scrub the stairs. One must admit that at the close of the day there was a vast improvement over all the property. The administration believed that a day of physical labor occasionally helped to keep the mind keen and receptive. Also, these days gave opportunity for contact with others in school which was a helpful means of broadening one's own educational and spiritual experience. Such days provided opportunity for social contact which was essential for normal growth. . . 4 , ,,,, , ,, , , -.-...4....... ..-..-..----::------- . , ,,, , ,A Y-,W .,.-..............Q....-.....,-,..............,.

In 1952,this job was done, and the sports program made a forward stride with the new field. lt provided space for football, baseball and track. E middle ming The thirties brought many changes to the campus of CBI. These years brought uniforms for the girls. Navy blue dresses, white collars and cuffs, red bow ties, dresses no shorter than...how many inches was it? lt is possible to see the uniforms in the picture to the left. Pictured is a service taking place where the middle wing to Bowie was added. The reason for building was the need for a chapel and for more living space for the students. During the summer of '35 the middle wing was built and the third story to Bowie was added. But with the fall semester came an enrollment of 321 and the newly en- larged building proved too small to house all the students. Serum! fllhapel g For eleven years, this room served as the chapel. The years of '45 and '46 saw the beginning of the Assemblies of God radio program. The front part of this room was converted into a radio studio and the first Word and Sound iRevivaltimel broadcasts came from here. Presently, it is called Bowie Auditorium and is used for classroom, Noon Prayers and occasional special programs. 1944 was 2 ter and with appearance to tower.. 1 I 1 4 5 S
