Expansion Leading to Progress... Renovation of Cafeteria The beginning of fall term found Lipscomb students overwhelmed by the results of the reno- vation and expansion of the old cafeteria located BEFORE the serving line opens to the lines of students, the hallway on the ground floor of Sewell Hall. The large entrance to the new cafeteria is displayed to its best advantage. dining hall, lunch room and faculty and student private dining rooms seat approximately 1200 persons at one meal. The air-conditioned dining rooms have walnut panelling and completely new furnishings. In the large dining hall is displayed a mural depicting a Southern plantation. This mural was hand- painted in sections by at least three artists. Brick masonry provides a backdrop for a small stage and speakers’ stand which can be used on special occa- sions. Various clubs, student groups, and faculty groups find the facilities of this addition to the campus beautiful as well as practical. The new atmosphere makes everyone agree that college life has never been better. y ENHANCING the social activities of student groups is the lunch room with its informal atmosphere. Students waiting to be served are Janie Haygood, Alma Sneed, Paul Menefee, Carolyn Dixon, Bruce Davis, and Joel Dobson, Page 10

THE “FEW MINUTES” before time to go in and start studying lengthen into an hour or so as Lipscomb students congregate on and around the cafeteria wall. During fall and spring quarters, “sitting on the wall” after the evening meal is an unwritten tradition. ON GRADUATION morn- ing, the bell in the tower slowly tolls away the years of college life. GRADUATING SENIORS Fletcher Srygley and Sally Eaves pause before a mirror for a final look at their traditional robes and mortarboards before the Big Moment. OBSERVING THE romantic tradition of the Bell Tower, Pat Patterson and Jeanne Smith pause near the stone archway. Page 9
