THE BRAINCHILD of Mr. Bill jones, the mall was financed through available funds and money from an immensely successful student drive. Pouring of the concrete took place in December, and al- though students were happy to see that the work had gone so quick- ly, some expressed dismay at the results. Later when the trees, shrubs, and flowers were planted and concrete benches were add- ed, their skepticism turned to pride. AT A SPECIAL Sunday workday, all interested students met to help plant the shrubs and place the benches. A special tree planting cere- mony preceded the workday.
