NEW BUILDING IS WELL UNDER WAY;
CAFETERIA SYSTEM IS AGAIN IN USE
Since last spring when a crov/d
of girls stood in the cafeteria line
and watched a truck pull dov/n
the last of the chimney of old
Alba, Doctor Anderson’s dream of
a new building has begun to ma
terialize in the form of brick and
stone walls, window frames, con
crete slabs, and wooden struc
tures.
The Cafeteria system that was
begun last January is still being
used, and is generally well liked.
The College girls say that they
like the idea; they can sleep an
extra half hour. Mrs. Henderson
and Miss McElroy are in charge
of the Cafeteria.
The high school department is
having classes in Anderson this
year, and Gaither is being used
for college classes.
Another building near the cafe
teria is at present being made
ready to house the Business Edu
cation Department.
The third floor and a part of
the second floor of Assembly Inn
is again being used as dormitory
space for college girls.
