mmmm Our New Gym After years of dreaming of a gym, Wilkes Col- m lege finally had that dream come true in the fall of h ' 1950. Thanks to the community, the new gynmas- ium stands ready to aid the students in any way possible. Within a year the gym has already be- come an important element in the life of the College and the community which it serves. Besides being a gymnasium catering to the physical education program and athletic events, it was easily converted into an auditorium in which such activities as concerts, assemblies, plays, dances, K and recitals were staged. Add to this its use as a lodging place for Visiting football teams, and the ex- cellent facilities provided for teas and other smaller social gatherings and one can readily see that the new gymnasium has been really lived in.
