administration all debts have been
paid and §150.000 has been raised
for- improvements to the buildings
and grounds.

Yes, Mother Nature is Wonderful; But
Her Children are Even More Amazing
Mr. Ewing bounded out of bed
early on the morning of Oct. 31 and
lightly tripped over to the window
to fill his lungs with crisp autumn
air< , ^
"Gee, what a snow we had last
night," he remarked to himself as
he noticed his automobile out in
front glistening under a white
coatipg. '
But then he saw that his car was
the only object in sight which had
been changed in appearance. Be-
thought to be snow was actually a
solid layer of calcium hydroxide
(whitewash to us common people)
and had been applied by a force
other than Mother Mixture.
On over in the "Ad Building he
saw that the "force" had also ex-
ecuted a little interior decorating
and remodeling. The desks and
tables had been removed from most
of the classrooms and pyramided
in the main floor hall. And neatly
perched atop the pile was Herman
Barrow's motorcycle.'
Mr. Ewing, ever in fun. pro-
wildered, he jerked on his trous- j
ers and rushed out to investigate' pounded that the ghosts and gob-

Need for expansion of the coK-.
lege comes, as a logical result of
the victorious campaign that two
years ago culminated in paying the
last dollar of debt on the institu-
tion, with improvements and reno-
vations on the property totaling
$150,000.
Debt Cleared in Few Years
What had seemed an almost in-
surmountable task, had been ac-
complished within a few short
years so that a §500.000 improve-
ment in the financial standing of
the college, brought squarely to its
leadership the question of the fu-
ture of T.W.C. Where as valuable
time and energy had been preem-

Within the hour, Mr. .Meissner
had been given assistance in
straightening the Ad Biffing in

with the Boazites footing the bill.
And from behind that perpetual
