Renovation of
Howerton Dorm
Planned
According to Dean Larry Wilson, an architectural firm has
completed the prelimanary plans for the renovation of Howerton
Dorm and Howerton Cafeteria. The plans are almost ready for
the contractors to bid on.
These preliminary plans call fort the following: new electrical
system, new plumbing, new exits for the back of the dorm, new
I windows, new floor coverings, lower ceilings in all rooms, the
I remodeling of tte bathrooms, an intercom system for the halls,
new doors anc^ocks, new paint throughout the dorm, and new
built in furniture for all rooms.
The entrance ways to the cafeteria and the front of Howerton
may be renovated in a limited way.
These plans must be passed by the administration before
anything can be done. If or when passed, the plans are then ready
j for the contractors to bid on. Modifications on the plans may be
necessary if the bids are all high.
The work may be done by the start of fall semester for
Howerton and hopefully the cafeteria too. Some work can be done
while school is in progress so long as it doesn’t bother the students
as they try to study.

Yet anoflier event has made
its home in Montreat. The
Bible .Olympics, an event
sponsored by members of the
M-AC faculty for area high
school students was recently
held on campus.
The Bible Olympics are a
series of tests on several areas
of the Bible for fifteen through
eighteen year olds. The idea,
originally that of Dr. Jack
Crawford, was to work for
three causes. It would
stimulate the interest of high
schoolers in Bible, bring
positive publicity to the school,
and bring possible new
students to the campus.
The first two tests were
written with the final as a
“spelling bee” type test. All
were designed by a five person
committee consistmg ot Mr.
Parks, Dean Carroll, Miss
Brousseau, Dr. Newton, and
Dr. Crawford with each
person working on a par
ticular area of Biblical study.
Turnout, although less than
expected, was quite adequate.
All thirteen did well.
Volunteers from the Christian
Education class helped in
grading. Several visitors
looked on as the seven finalists
competed in the “spelling bee”
type competition.
A local girl, Elizabeth
McCay, was the final winner
and took home $50 for her
efforts. The question that won
it; “Name the person who
stole some of the goods from
Jerusalem and let the Jews
suffer.’ ’ Second and third
place rewards were given out
along with certificates of
merit to those who finished
with honorable men^’on.
Plans for the future of the
Olympics include the
possibility of a scholarship
for the winner, making it more
school oriented.
