fE'E GUfgQs, ' 23 .aff if ,pi F . . 24 21 COLLEGIATE CLASS HISTORY The past three years consisting of a series of events, has marked an epoch in the history of Central llfisconsin College. The first large event occurred December 31, 1919, when the school experienced a great loss in the destruction of the Academy building by fire. This, however, did not hinder the continuance of school sessions. Classes were conducted in the basement of the public school, the village hall, the bank, the church and the Proctor building. ln 1920 it was unanimously decided to rebuild the aca- demy so the following year a new building was erected on the site of the former academy. , The new building, a ire proof structure throughout, is fully modern, cosy and convenient in all respects.

Since the collegiate department is comparatively small as yet the students in this department enjoy a much better opportunity of receiving more individual attention than Senior Colleges are able to give their lower classmen. A few realized this when in the years of 1921-1922 the students registered for the department numbered ten, eight of whom were graduates of the academic course here. Six in this group were just entering the springtime of their school life as their freshmen year might be called, while the four remaining, began the summer season of their prospective school life. Soon their realization of parting confronted them, much to their regret. The freshmen collegiates, however, could comfort themselves with the idea of returning as S-ophomores, but the latter were forced to seek other institutions of learn- ingg St. Olaf College being the most favored. At the opening of the next year 1922-1923 from the fresh-
