Freshman play draws capacity crowd THE CLOSED DOOR On the initial evening of Home-coming Week, No- vember 23, 1962, the freshman class presented the comedy-drama, The Closed Door, written by Wil- burn Braun. To a packed hoiise, the romantic antics of the heroine with an adventurous young stranger were de- lightful and the play a relaxing affair. The Closed Door is almost unique in content for although it is romantic and a comedy, it also contains strong ele- ments of religious sentiment. The eleven-man cast revolved around one, Portia Gray, a young and beautiful lady-lawyer. Portia was dedicated to her blind sister Louise Gray and in her efforts to have her sisters sight restored, the family is reunited with the Winslow family next door. The Winslow ' s and the Grays had been fast friends for years even to the point of having an inside door con- necting their homes. Upon the outset of a feud this door was nailed shut not to be reopened for years until the occurrence of a providential accident. A delightful three-act drama, and sobering too as the two families unite in common thankfulness at the healing of Louise. The closed door is open yes, but even more important a new world is open to the once blind Louise Gray.

mf Competent brickcleaners earn, three dollars per one thousand bricks. Progress continues A cloud of dust settles and a heap of bricks, wood and memories are all that remain of Old Main. Dedicated in 1885 by Dr. J. B. McFerrin, the three-story center section housed Centenary College for Methodist girls. The north wing was built and paid for by C. L. Hardwick and John L. Parker and appropriately called the Hardwick-Parker wing. After a donation of $10,000 from Dr. Morrow of Nashville, other additions were made. In 1947 the Church of God purchased the property, which was at that time Bob Jones College, and named it Lee College in honor of F. J. Lee, a great leader and former General Overseer of the Church of God. Through the years improvements have been made on the buildings, faculty members have been added to the staff, wider varieties of curriculum have been established, all of which play an important role in the progress of Lee College. Ironic enough, that which was the beginning of this in- stitution must now be demolished for the betterment and progress of the institution. One day soon a modern, more- accommodating building will stand where Old Main once stood. So let the sunshine in
