I then went into the L. D. S. Institute, where silence and peacefulness predominated this beautiful afternoon. I thought of the many inspirational Sunday School services I had attended in the lovely chapel. I remembered the numerous dances that had been held in the decorative recreation hall . . . the organ recitals during intermission, at which time many a pin was hung.

The game room downstairs had been the scene of unforgettable parties. An important asset . . . socially as well as religiously.
