A sleepy member of the girls vegetable crew turns over in bed and stops the annoying alarm clock. But just as she is almost asleep once more-Brrrr!-an alarm in the next room reminds her that it is five- thirty and time to get up. Ho! Hum! And out of bed she crawls, quickly slipping into her work clothes. She walks down the corridor, side-steps the floor-sweeper, and descends into the basement hall. Others of like destination join her, and together they, with peelers in hand begin their duty. These vegetable girls really play an important part in appeasing the tremendous appetites of hundreds of students. While they do not mind the potatoes, carrots, turnips and apples, sad oountenances mark the onion peeling. As the work proceeds, the constant contact which students enjoy in this work assignments forms part of their character training. These duties are considered a part of school discipline and training. Done in the right spirit, the most menial task is done as unto the Lord. Paul said, whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as to the Lord. lCol. 3:23l CBI in some respects was a self-sustaining unit. It had its own laundry, located in the basement of the Administrative building where the trunk room is presently located. It was operated by student help. Passing by the door, one would hear the roar of the washing machines, the rumble ofthe mangles, the screech of the extracting and the slam of the presses. The students praised God for this adequate equipment! Going inside, one would see bee-hive activity-girls scrubbing shirts, hanging up clothes, or ironing, but singing all the time. Laundry duty might seem mundane, but whatever was done, was done to the glory of God. ...g.........4...-........... ---Lia Edwin Antin does not have any difficulty in understanding how all the machinery operates.

Euilrling 19303 s r 'gl Y N' Os Some public relation's material encouraging interested students to come to the Institute in 1936, read like this: Students are provided with large, comfortable rooms. Two students occupy each room which gives ample training in social adjustment and helps to broaden the individual. Plenty of light, heat and ventilation are considerations in providing educational equipment at CBI. Each room has a spacious closet, dresser, comfortable bed, chairs and astudy table. We praise the Lord for CBI - the school of His planting. , ,tire . lfaiivis it 1 , V ff? ' s Welch Hall nears completion lJuly,1936l. From the very beginning, CBI continued to grow and with this growth came the ever-pressing need of added facilities to accommodate more students. ln the fall of 1936, a new building contained 120 dormi- tory rooms. It is interesting to note that 160,000 bricks were laid for the building. Over the entrance was placed a large, white cement block, bearing the simple though forceful inscription. Thy Word ls Truth lJohn17:17l. Welch Hall was supposed to be a duplicate of the present building lBowie Halll with the exception of the center wing. The first floor of the new structure housed several offices for faculty members and President J.W. Welch. Two apartments for faculty members were also on the first floor. There was a reception room on each floor where the young men received the new students. These reception rooms have been changed into a lounge, TV room and prayer chapel. No longer are there receptions in the dormitories for new students. The above is an aerial view of the CBI campus llooking northl as it was in February 1938. 3111111 John W.
