President '$ 11 Iessage Wiiilk other states have built many flm buildings for educational and social purposes. WiM'onsin lias not. Kuildiug for such pur|M ses has moved forward in municipalities and though millions have lx en spent in this state, the state itself has Imhmi able to do nothing. We are. therefore, living in the same house we lived in at the time the depression took hold almost nine years ago. Through Works Progress Administration grants for labor we have kept our buildings in fair condition, we have made some long overdue repairs, and we have made a few changes. The old power house has been renovated to house school repair shops and a garage for the Athletic Association bus. An addition is now being built on the old power house for garage purposes. The old auditorium, which was the oldest building on the campus, was rami and from its timbers and brick much useful material was saved for other const ruction and repair work. All tin sciences have been moved to what was the Industrial Ituildiug; there they have much needed room and accommodations equal to thorn found in schools of our size. Kooins and corridors have been painted so that the appearance of the buildings is much brighter. Through tin aid of Federal Art Project the Library mural showing the development of lumbering in Wisconsin was painted and the same agency has given the school many other paintings, water colors, and wood-cuts. The tiymnasium has new lloors and showers. In the Training School, besides redecorating, the Library has been moved into more commodious quarters; the grade shops are also moved into the north end of the basement of that building. We need an athletic Held equipped with track, bleachers, and team rooms; the old gymnasium should be remodeled into a social building and a new gymnasium constructed; and we ought to have an adequate auditorium. The material needs are easiest to list, just as material changes which have been made are readily apparent. We should have additional teachers, more liltentl support for operations, and equipment. Many of you will go to high schools which are beautifully housed: others will go to badly housed and illy equipped schools, but all will be expected I«» do better than the circumstances indicate one can. And perhaps your accomplishments while here under conditions far from ideal may contribute to your success by showing an example of work done when the surroundings were far from ideal.
