Where gab sessions solve many problems of the world — North Hall, temporary dormitory for men. The student body, instead of seventeen, numbers approximate- ly four hundred fifty — and the Warrior's first full - color photo- graph, taken before the Adminis- tration Building, shows the present campus ratio of two men to every woman student. Sylvia Hawkin- son of Fremont and two Califor- nians— Gene Vosseler and Ted Youngerman — recall this year's unusually large enrollment of Fre- mont students and the representa- tion of sixteen states and two foreign countries on the campus. Whore kids throw snowballs, veterans study and housewives cook — Midland's Quonset Village of 20 apartments. Page 9

Where a dream of many years camo true — Men's Memorial Hall, beautiful, modem, new dormitory for men. OnCE upon a time, in Atchison, Kansas, there was a significant celebration. It was the opening of a new college, to be called Mid- land because of its location near the center of the country. When the college opened, there was one dark, austere - looking building, with classrooms for a faculty of five. In the student body were twelve young women in floor-length dresses and fluffy hair bows, and five young men in un- comfortable dark suits and high, white collars. That quaint picture was the be- ginning of what can now be called Midland Yesterday — a Yesterday which encompasses six decades. For last fall, Midland College observed the sixtieth an- niversary of its founding on Sep- tember 14, 1887.

Whoro leisure moments disappear — the shady steps of Clem- mons Hall. Visiting here are Bonnio Pabian. John Holmstedt. Verona Nyffoler and Virginia flttebery. The progress of sixty years now takes on a new significance — for the years will go rolling on. And for the Midland of Tomorrow, there are far-reaching plans today. On a future anniversary, Midland hopes to have a new library, a student union building, a chapel and music conservatory, and an- other classroom building. Plan- ning for these new physical aspects, Midland aims to grow in every way necessary to maintain itself always as a modern, up-to- date college.
