Delta State Qrows An extensive building program has been carried out at Delta State Teachers College during the 1938-39 session. The Doolittle Annex to the Hill Demonstration School was completed. This building houses the Music Department. A new Gymnasium, located on the site of the old one, has been erected. It is one of the finest plants in the state, containing a basketball court, locker and shower rooms, offices and class rooms for the Phys- ical Education Department, and rooms for various sports such as badminton and ping-pong. An Athletic Field House, which is used by the football team and golf club, was added. A Library was constructed just north of the Administration Building. Built of buff colored brick, it follows the same Renaissance style of archi- tecture as most of the other buildings on the campus. Thus the Delta State Teachers College campus pre- sents quite a different aspect from that of a year ago. The BROOM hopes to show all of these beautiful new buildings in its next issue.
