The arrangement of the buildings and the evident care Which is taken in keeping the grounds clean and orderly give the farm a very pleasing appearance.

Tyler Hall THE NEYVEST BUILDING on the campus, Tyler Hall, was dedicated in 1930. Tyler Hall will accomodate fifty-five boys and a matron and house man in surroundings more ideal than in any other dormitory in the state. It is heated with a two-pipe steam heating system and on each floor there is a. central bath and toilet room with an additional shower room in the basement. There is also a locker room and adequate laundrying facilities. This spring a new washing machine was added to other equipment and the school began to do all its own laundry, including one sheet and one pillow case for each member of the student body. For the past two summers students and faculty have been continually working on the lawn about Tyler Hall, plant- ing trees and shrubbery, making walks and caring for the lawn. This spring a walk was laid to Prescott Commons. 'W T' ' .azsrahaifaja '5 '7Nuin ff'-7+ Student's Room Bowling Alley Page Twenty-Seven
