Many students can be seen in the Moody Build- ing between classes exchanging gossip on the twin staircases - always a popular spot, In 1961, the Paul Pewitt Science Building was added to the campus. Students can be found working in the labs any- time during the day. Ample room is provided for both indi- d q Scurlock Student Center vidual projects and the lab classes.

One 4 :ips I A ' A r of Dr. Peeples' dreams had been new buildings so as to provide better learning re- sources. With the building of V the Fine Arts building and the tearing down of the Twin Towers, the dream began to come true. The old Twin Towers was torn down to make way for the new administration building in 1960. The C. E. Peeples Aca- demic Center houses offices for the registrar, academic dean, dean of students, business manager, and president. The north wing contains the Hender- son Library which holds 20, 402 volumes. The A. Frank Smith Fine Arts Building was built in 1954. The workshop for the drama department, practice rooms for the music department, choir rooms and studios are found in the basement. The main floor boasts an au- ditorium seating 600 and the Zula Pearson theatre-in-the- round and classrooms. Basketball has been a major sport at Lon Morris for many years so it was only natural that a new gym was built in 1964. The Bob and Vivian Smith Gym seats 3, 000 and contains dressing rooms, a classroom, and the coach's of- fice. 8 f 'h-rn.:-us-Ugg.-:,,, as ' - -' L . 1- ,Vg-'z 4.

e F Fair Hall, the girl's dorm was built in 1956. It is a roomy, air-conditioned building covered with the paraphernalia of one hundred girls. Ar- ranged on the roommate, two suite-mate plan, Fair Hall is probably the noisiest and nosiest build- ing on campus. The two story building is set back from the street, surrounded by trees. A large liv- ing room provides a place for the men and women to visit. Mrs. Bertha Doris, better known as Ma- ma D, is the dorm mother. The men had to wait a little longer to get their new dorms. In the early 196O's, the men were living in Smith Hall and Lula Morris Hall. But Clark Hall was completed in 1965 and Brown Hall in 1969. Also arranged on the roommate, two suite-mate plan, these ultra-modern dorms are a constant source of irritation to the girls because the men enjoy spending so much time in them. Mr. S. D. Broadhurst serves as dorm master for both Brown and Clark Halls. Many changes have occurred Fair Hall ,?eK1!.. A' 'R . iii i- se 1 ' I , 1 - , A - U 3-1 X fir.
