DINING HALL The Dining Hall has a place in every student ' s heart, and it is a place to which he is immediately drawn. The first floor contains the kitchen and dining room. On the second floor a few Academy students dwell, not because of the nearness to food, but because the Academy is slightly overcrowded. On the third floor are the sick rooms to which the student may sojourn when he is sick of going to classes. A word of gratitude may here be spoken for the Ladies ' Auxiliary who have put new furniture in the hospital rooms and who have donated their time and money to make these rooms more cheerful and home- like. 12

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING This building was erected in 1878 and is without a doubt the most renowned of all the buildings on the Campus. At first this building served the purpose of both a dormitory and an instruction hall; but since the remodelling last summer, it is used only for dass-rooms. The remodelling was an excellent job, transforming the old and worn interior into beautiful and up-to-date halls and rooms. In the basement, are the Botanical and Biological laboratories and lecture rooms and a lounging room for the Faculty members. The first and second floors contain class rooms with modern desk-chairs. On the third floor the Physical and Chemical Laboratories and lecture rooms are located. By remodelling this building, we have an equi ' alcnt of a new build- ing without sacrificing the stateh ' and well-built exterior. Vrom ihesc improvements will result greater efficiency and a better I ' dmhurst. 11

IRION HALL Irion Hall, the Academy boys ' dormitory, was erected in 191 1. On the first floor, in the east wing, is the Principal ' s office, and next to that, his apartment. The Chapel, which is on the north side and cannot be seen on the picture, is used for evening chapel services. In the basement are the Y. M. C. A. reading-room and the gymnasium. The gymnasium has been worthless to us in the past few years because of the bad flooring and low ceiling. The flooring has been removed and a composition floor has been laid. This makes a vast improve- ment but still doesn ' t allow the basketball team to practice in it. The remaining two floors contain students ' study and bedrooms. Irion Hall can accommodate one hundred students comfortabh ' . 1.3
