Students Rewarded For Delay­ (Continued from page 1) raised. January 5, 1953, the first day of college after the Christmas Holidays, was a most happy occasion for the students as well as for other members of the college community. With several hundred spectators looking on, a brief ceremony was held and ground was broken for the new gymnasium. Mrs. Barton Lee Mallory, mother of N eely Mallory, turned the first earth and in that act inaugurated a period of rapid activity on the part of the contractors (instead of the usual period of delay between ground-breaking and actual construction).

HOMECOMING, October 16, got under way with an informal luncheon (held largely for the convenience of out-of-town alumni). More than expected attended, about 100, with Bob Amis, Alumni President, anchoring the head table. Guests were the Homecoming "Royalty," and the judges of the fraternity­ sorority lawn decoration contest (won by Tri.Delta and Sigma Nu, with Zeta and ATO runners-up). Centre downed the Lynx, 14-0, in a top-notch f~otball game. Well-attended open houses were held by the fraternities from 4 to 6. The dance, enjoyed by many students and many alumni-more than any of 1ts pre­ decessors--was the best ever, probably because it was held in the Mallory gymnasium.
