SKETCH members of the senior class, though now it is occupied by Senior Middles, that is, first year college students. Club Village, ten pleasant houses centered around the old tower, was ready for occupancy in 1927. The Alumnae Association had started installation of the carillon chimes in the tower, which were played for the first time on April 12, 1928. It was the following year that one of the best equipped stables in the South was added to the school. Dur- ing the past five years, the departmental clubs have had a phenomenal growth, and because cf the in- creasing interest of the girls in creative work, Chimes, a literary magazine, was started in 1937. The school sustained a great loss in the passing of Dr. Blanton. He was succeeded by Dr. John Wynne Barton, widely known educator and publisher, in 1933. Under Dr. Barton ' s administration Ward- Belmont made progress along broad educational and cultural lines. However, in 1936 Dr. Barton ' s health failed, and at his death in September of that year, Mr. A. B. Benedict assumed the leader- ship, and is the present well beloved administrative head of the institution. Truly, Ward-Belmont can look back with pride at a quarter of a century of eventful history. It has grown from a school attended principally by Southern girls to an outstanding accredited junior college with an enrollment from every state in the union, and several foreign countries. While the faculty, alumnae, and students look to the past with pride and inspiration, so we too look forward to even greater achievements in the future.
