ment of the instrument was under the direct supervision of Mr. Whitelegg. It has a clear, brilliant tone and is ever an incentive for intelligent musical appreciation. Maury Hall has been known to us as Maury Science Hall, and through the years the growing student body and even more expandmg home economics body resulted in very crowded working conditions in this build- ing. So, half of the science department was moved to Wilson Hall to enable the home economics department to expand. Besides expansion in room space, a complete dietetics laboratory was built in Dr. Phillips ' s lab room. The equipment consists of a six-unit kitchen. Each unit, which will take care of four students, is built in the shape of a U. There are base and wall cabinets where from blackboards we once copied dissecting instructions. The working surfaces are of pressed wood, the sinks of stainless enamel with swinging faucets. A new gas refrigerator, three gas stoves, and three hot point electric ranges are part of the six-unit plan. Black and white with a suggestion of red is the color scheme. Flower Shop China is an artistic addition. We remember how, between Wilson and Reed, the wind used to nearly blow us down to Main Street, and how, when going from Wilson to Reed or Maury on stormy days, we would be rained upon. How, then, could we fail to realize progress in the new cloisters bu;lt there for our comfort. In the spring we noticed beauty in the ground imp o ements laid out by landscape designers. Few of us, however, noticed the copper piping in Maury Hall. A d we scarcely realize the steady, gradual addition of books into our library, numbering about one thousand books a year. We have also made progress in personnel. Dr. Paul Hounchell came to our Education department from the State Teachers College of Alabama, and a little later. Miss Lois Pearman, from the State Teachers College at Denton, Texas, joined the staff of Home Economics teachers. Miss Mona Lyon, from Peru State Teachers College, Nebraska, is our instructor in commercial subjects and handwriting, offered for the first time this year. He who does not advance, falls back; he who steps is overwhelmed, distanced, crushed; he who ceases to grow greater, becomes smaller; he who leaves off, gives up. . . .
