Academy Begins in 1921 The institution operated a high school from 1921 to 1934. The First Marionette The students of 1923 organized a literary thrust to furnish material for the first Marion- ette. The subscription campaign was one of the liveliest and most enthusiastic campaigns of the year. The rivalry was so intense between the Amphictyions and Eurekans that it was nicknamed the Marionette Raid. Campus Enlarged The administration en- visioned a growing college and purchased nine acres of land northeast of the tri- angle. yy Students Construct Gymnasium In 1923 the faculty and students counseled to- gether, drew plans, and raised the necessary funds for the construction of the gymnasium. The entire construction was done by the stu- dents except for the bricklaying. The new 50' x 90' gymnasium was com- pleted in 1926. It con- tains a basketball floor of standard size and dressing rooms. It seats 1,000 people.. This structure stands as a symbol of student en- thusiasm.
