After holding assemblies in the patio, bleachers and band-shell for six years through fog, mist, and the drone of airplanes, Wilson welcomed the auditorium with many dedications. The building was formally dedicated and turned over to the student body by Burton Chase, president of the hoard of education, through John Eikelman, governor of affairs, in an assembly in October. It has been dedicated and re-dedicated through the entire year during each major event. It was reconstruct- ed at a cost of $125,000 and has a seating capacity of 1770 Experts and laymen alike agree on the superior quality of the acoustic properties; an amplifying system, asbestos fire curtain, and automatic ventilating and lighting win- dows over the stage which close in case of fire, were in- stalled; other features are a broadcast room, public address system, a guest reception room, nurse’s office, emergency first aid room, re-arranged dressing, make-up and costume rooms, and a soundproof band and orchestra room.

Since September 600 films have been shown on the Wilson cam- pus, about 50 in the auditorium and 550 in the classroom, all 400 foot reels. Among these were films on commercial aviation, athletic events, national park pictures in color, Coast Guard communications, William Tell, how to use the library, The Plainsman, and dozens dealing directly with class problems. Many films were shown in classrooms on projectors borrowed from the Board of Education. The Bell and Howell movie projector and screen belong to the student body and were bought by them for approximately $1000. The 13x18 foot mercury coated screen is the same as those used in theaters. This projector has brought to Wilson opportunities to use superior teaching techniques. New' Sound Projector Shows I la i n s m a eb 21»
