Q . .A -i ., .,1. .t To those familiar with the rolling floors, the peeling walls and rusting lockers of old l-larding. the summer of '63 brought many startling sights. It was disconcerting, somehow, to witness the destruction of the old halls: almost like seeing the mercy- lcilling of some harmless, but useless. old animal. Staring through doors which should have framed familiar scenes, but which revealed only empty spaces formerly inhabited by water fountains and rotting panel- ing, gave one a feeling that he should have lcnown his way around, but somehow couldn't get his bearings. Yet. there was a sense of mystery and anticipation present, too. Sad at the passage of the old, we were also excited at the prospect of the new. The change has finally come, and it has meant many things to us -anxiety. eagerness, curiosity, ex- citement, and finally, delight at what has happened.

The building is now only a slceleton, awaiting the finishing work which will bring it to its state of completion. THE FACE OF Harding is again reversed as the rear end of the old building is razed before construction begins on the new front. Page 7

Founded in November of I89I, Lips- comb first opened its doors under the name ot Nashville Bible School, under the guidance ot David Lipscomb and James A. l-larding. lt was not until the early '2O's atter several campus relocations and administration changes that the high school achieved an identity separate trom that of the college. It is really there that the history of DLHS begins. Many personalities have contributed to the de- velopment ot the school among them A. G. Freed, one of the earliest principals, and Maclc Wayne Craig and Damon R. Daniel. This institution has seen many traditions established and cast out from separate stairs tor boys and girls to Beau- titul Day. lt has seen many physical changes as well-the several Bell Towers, the frequent remodelings ot Harding Hall, and a number ot campuswide changes- yet one thing remains the same: the pur- pose ot service to God through the edu- cation of young Christians.

Five, ten, twenty-what will the years bring to Lipscomb? l-low ex- citing it is to loolc into the future and speculate! A tew things can already be seen coming-already several doctoral degrees on the faculty, seminars in the tields ot English. mathematices, the arts, widening op- portunities in every area ot en- deavor. The new tacilities which the students have enjoyed this year will provide excellent teaching aids tor many ot those who will follow them: the language lab, where a Spanish or a French student may hear the language spoken by a Spaniard or a Frenchman: the home economics lab, where girls may coolc and sew with the tinest appliances, and the science labs, where tuture chemists can perform tascinating ex- periments. Perhaps the tuture is so exciting because ot the possibilities it holds. Who lcnows but that Lips- comb may someday p r o d u c e a world leader, a man who can solve the problem ot universal peace, or a sc'entist who can defeat cancer? . . . to the all n et or Lpscomb has entered her era of educat n Page 8
