A LATE AFTERNOON TENNIS I HETHER PLAYING tennis on an unimproved out- door court or swimming in an indoor pool with all its luxuries, collegians derive amusement and entertain- ment from physical activities. Interests of college students are much the same now as they have always been, but with added facilities on the campus, they take somewhat dif- ferent forms. Outdoor sports, chautauquas, and school- sponsored parties, at which all students and faculty had “rollicking good times,’ were chief sources of entertain- GAME ON THE PANHANDLE COURTS OF 1914. ment in the early days of the school. Prominent among the few social organizations were the Earlene and Sewell literary societies. Today the college offers a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities. Through a well-balanced program of athletics, students have opportunity to partici- pate in intercollegiate and intramural sports.

HUGHES-STRONG HALL i HE EXPANSION of the fine arts offerings at the college is dramatized in the contrast between the 1914 school orchestra (left) and the spacious Hughes- Strong Hall (above), which houses the speech and music departments. Hughes-Strong, named for Judge Wallace G. Hughes and State Representative W. L. Strong, was built in 1926 and remodeled in 1957. Earle Hall, built in 1915, was named for a prom- inent Goodwell pioneer, E. J. Earle. A women’s dormitory for 23 years, this familiar campus building has been used since 1938 as a men’s dormitory. 1914 SCHOOL ORCHESTRA EARLE HALL Ad Pia date yt ES ape age haiti en chi ; . “ so RB tis MRR FE ge PAREN oc RNR NRRL RAN NR IS Sie NCCU SERENE NEL DRONE RT, 4 a .
