34 THE TRUMPET .The total amount subscribed to the Building Fund at pres- ent is a little better than 370,000.00 With a couple of good so- licitors in the field, the remaining 815,000.00 will soon be col- lected, and then the solicitations for the Ladies, Dormitory will be prosecuted with equal vim, and we trust, with equal success. The energetic and loyal Young People's Society of Saw- yer. Wis., has again sent us a nice little sum for the Building Fund. lf all the Societies Within these two circuits were as loyal and as energetic as this society on the peninsula, we should see great results. So far we have had no response from the majority of the Young Peoples' Societies, but We are still waiting to hear from them before the Annual Convention at Manitowoc. A. L. P.- Say! Are you deaf? I.

THE TRUMPET 33 A gift of 8675.00 was left by the class of 1920-the above amount to be added to the Library fund. On Sunday evening, May 9th, the Choral Union of our school journeyed to Winchester in order to render the Cantata, Christ the Victoriousf, in the beautiful, spacious church at that place. The trip was a splendid success. The good people of Winchester in their accustomed spirit of hospitality had done everything possible to make our stay with them both pleasant and proitable. The result of the trip was about 3100.00 for our Building Fund. We are glad to report to our many readers, that actual work has commenced in rebuilding our school. The contract for the Work is awarded Beck Engineering and Construction Co. of Minneapolis. Quite a few men have been at work the past week hauling away the debris preparatory to actual con- struction work. The superintendent of the building operations, Mr. Connor, has been on the job for a Week pushing the work with remarkable energy. There is but little doubt, if any, but that the Administration Building will be completed by the opening of next school year, provided that the necessary ma- terial is forthcoming in due time. . The Rev. S. L. Thompson of Nelsonville has been engaged as one of the solicitors for our school. He is also pushing his part of the job. The first week's solicitation in Mt. Morris congregation, Wautoma, Rev. Bakken's call netted him a little better than 85,500 We sincerely trust that all of our solicitors will meet with equal success. The Reverends C. S. B. Hoel, Minneapolis, H. B. Thorgrimson, Grand Forks, and E. 0. Vik, La Crosse, have also promised to devote part of the summer in behalf of our Building Fund. At the last meeting of the Board of Trustees the follow- ing resolution was adopted: Resolved, that we build an Ad- ministration Building this summer. The building is not to ex- ceed S85,000.00. A Dormitory to cost 840,000.00 is to be built when the Administration Building is paid for, and 80 per cent of said sum be subscribed. If more than 840,000.00 be raised for said Dormitory, a larger building may be erected.
