“THE TREE IS KNOWN BY ITS FRAIT”’ Matthew 12:33 The oldest living things on earth are trees. The oldest surviving man- made organizations are institutions of higher learning. Trees and col- leges are alike in many ways. In a forest of colleges Lubbock Christian College has been pushing higher and higher for 25 years. As the roots have gone wider and deeper the fruitful branches have reached into every corner of the nation. The first years have been demanding and challenging, yet promising. We are only now nearing our maturity, our greatest capacity for fruitfulness. As we look at the branches today, we remember our roots and are grateful. For 25 years, some of the greatest people in the world have been a part of a struggling, growing college — Lubbock Christian College. We have planted a college, nourished and tended it. It will live and bear fruit for many generations. The future is bright!

SURPLUS ARMY BARRACKS During the Silver Anniversary Year, the College is conducting a campaign to meet a challenge grant from the J. E. and L. E. Mabee Foundation so that anew women’s dor- mitory can be built. The attractive campus, unified architecturally around a central mall, is home to Lub- bock Christian College. 1 — The first spade of dirt for LCC’s first permanent building was turned by Dr. F. W. Mattox and his granddaughter, Sara Jo Bryant, May 4, 1957. 2 — The Arnett House served as the first administration building, dormitory, print shop, photo lab, and faculty offices. It has been moved, totally restored, by the LCC Associates and serves as their headquarters. 3 — The first building on the Mall south of the Ad- ministration Building was the Betty Hancock Campus Center, opened in 1965. The parlor and second-level offices were added later. 4 — The LCC Institute of Water Research has some of the most sophisticated lab equipment in the Southwest. 5 — The Mabee Student Life Building houses the snack bar, bookstore, nurse’s office, housing and traffic of- fices, Student Senate Office, bowling alley and game rooms. 6 — This barracks served as biology lab until the Mabee Agriculture-Science Laboratory building was built.
