THE NEEDS AT CENTRAL WISCONSIN COLLEGE Wfhen Valkyrie is making her rounds to the homes of our many friends, she comes as a messenger directly from our college. It is her chief purpose to tell the friends of our school about the work, the plans, the aspirations, the trials and the needs of our college, and also to create, if possible, a greater interest in, and an intelligent enthusiasm for the true welfare of our institution. It is the aim of this article to set forth some of the mrore pressing needs of our Alma Mater, with the hope that the reader may be induced to ask herself or himself this question: Have I done my fair share in helping our college out of these needs. The college needs a modern, fireproof Dormitory for girls. In fact, our school has arrived at that stage of its growth when a dormitory for girls is absolutely necessary. Wife cannot accom- modate very many more students unless we are given more dormitory room. Central ItVisconsin College is a growing school. It has a bright future in view, provided that its friends and supporters will give it the necessary assistance. There is no reason why we should not have an enrollment of three hundred students within a few years, but in order to have that we must have more dormi- tory and class room. IVe need a well equipped Gymnasium. The Rink used for that purpose for many years. is entirely inadequate. It is really unsafe for our boys and girls to make use of it for gymnastics. It seems, furthermore,i to be necessary to have modern gym- nasiumis in order to attract students to a school, since athletics and gymnastics play such an important part in school activities. A splendid opportunity is offered here to our wealthier church people to erect for themselves a living monument by building a dormitory. or a gymnasium at C. Wi. C. bearing the ,name of the builder. In fact. a more ntting, or a more lasting monument to one's honor and memory can scarcely be erected by any one. It would serve as a living and eloquent reminder to the thousands of young people passing in and out of our college. Wfe also need a larger Chapel where the teachers and students could assemble every day for devotional exericisesg where they could conduct Bible Hours, Mission classes and other reliigious exercises. The rooms now used for chapel purposes are entirely overcrowded. Furthermore, it is almost an impossibility :to get into a proper spiritual mood for devotion as long as such meetings must be held in dusty, overcrowded class rooms. A light, well- ventilated and spacious Chapel contributes tremendously towards tlxe spiritual atmosphere of divine worship.

BU UGG LIC 'ullrns Ill G if . -Mzn fi 112 5 'o f TENNIS AND VOLLEY BALL Among the girls we also have some Tennis enthusiasts. As soon as spring comes, and the courts are in proper condition, we can see the girls, with their rackets and balls, skipping down to the courts, ready for a good fast game of Tennis. Several have proven themslvs to be l'Tennis Champs. Volley Ball! Something new! This game has never been participated in at our school, but this year the prospects for having' a real live team in Volley Ball may also be realized. 'Plans are, to use one of the Tennis courts for this game. The girls are very eager to begin to play so we may look forward to a large number of the girls out for Vollev Ball. During the season of 1921-1922 the girls did very creditable work in the line of Basket Ball. They showed tact and enthusiasm in every game they played. Following isa schedule of games played in 1922. December 16-C. XV. C. vs. Seymour-here-4-ll. january 6-C. WT. C. vs. Wfeyauivega-here-8-3. Ianuary 14-C. XV. C. vs. Amherst--there-3+l. january 27-C.

5 - B 2 3 1 1 4 xa ng a' 'll' Another need keenly felt is for more land for campus pur- poses. The school owns about eleven acres of land only. 'W-hen new buildings shall be erected up-on the present campus, there will not be sufficient room for an athletic field. However, with an addition of a few more acres, our college will have ample room for expansion and sufficient acreage for a large athletic field. The Alumni Association began raising money for the purchase of ten or twelve acres of land towards Silver Lake. Wfhen this plan is realized, the need for more land will be a thing of the past. A fifth need is that of an Endowment Fund. It is decided that a sum of 350,000.00 is to be raised for this fund. About one-fifth of that amount is already secured. The college manage- ment has engaged Rev. H. M. Mason as Field Secretary for the school. So far he has met with splendid success. 'We -hope and pray that he will continue to meet with good results. Another crying need is the college library. The old library was completely destroyed by fire, bu-t through the efforts of our friends we have already secured about two thousand volumes. However, this is not adequate to the needs of our junior College Department, We, therefore, hope that a good many friends of our school will keep the library in mind. XVe are conhdent that brighter days are in store for Central Wisconsin College. MR. ALLAND, MR. AND. MRS. TESLOW
