Reception for Pastor and
Wife at CenterviIle, Ohio

The Baptist church of Center
vr;Ie, Ohio, continues to show It's
appreciation of its pastor, Re-.
Edward N. Lawson, formerly OF
Madison county. The most re-
cent exhibition of such was the
gracious reception given on tho
evening of May 18th in honor of
the pastors's wife who came on
the field as a stranger to the
congregation. A program w's
rendered which contained MANY
humorous incidents related at
the pastors expense, but en-
poved, nevertheless. The great
est surprise of the evening was
TIE general shower of everything
Useful in the pantry. Every thing
was fully appreciated by the pas
ter and wife. Centerville has a
ncb!e band of believers. No
church appreciates the efforts Of
her pastor more than Cenetr"1lle
and the pastor knows how II ap-
preciate such a church.

WORK ON GYMNASIUM
WILL BEGIN IN JUL Y
(From Eastern Progress)

from Eastern TIOS1eSS
In August, 1920, the gymna-
sium was burned by as incendi-
.ary. Since that time, the classes
in physical education have been
largely out-of-doors except
where the classes have been help
ed out by the gymnasium of the
Madison High School. 1t had
been hoped before the meeting of
the last legislature that money
would be appropriated for build
ing a health building, including a
gymnasium, but that hope was
not fulfilled. At meeting of the
Board of Regents last Saturday,
an appropriation of $500 was
made for the purpose of building
a gymnasium. The building will
be built of wood and will be the
best that can be made for that
money. 1t will be located near
the place where the old gymna-
Stun was located on the campus.
1t will be built in such a way
that it can be used for some other
purpose after a permanent gym
nasium has been built.
=, C. c. and E. A. Weber, archi-
tects, of Cincinnati, O., will pre-
pare the plans Immediately and
it it hoped that work will be
started on the building by the
first of July, as it is very badly
needed indeed.

| NEW GYMNASIUM
FOR NORMAL ATHLETES
Board of Regents Takes Steps To
Secure Needed Building
Faculty Is Reelected

Students of Eastern Kentucky
State Normal School and Others
who are interested in athletics
at the big institution were great
ly pleased with the action of the
Board of Regents at their recent
meeting when it was decided to
erect a temporary gymnasium
out of the savings effected by
the management, as the Normal
is free of all debt. The Temporal
ry gym will be a large and com
| modious structure, and the idea
is when a permanent gym is Sc
cured to convert this structure
into a dormitory.
At the meeting Of the board,
the chairman and all the regents
were present. The two newly
appointed regents were sworn in.
Senator H. H. Brock was elect
ed vice chairman of the board:
Judge J. M. Cammack was re-
elected secretary and Paul Bur
nam was reelected treasurer.
All these selections were unani-
nous. All the present faculty
was reelected. No salary was
reduced; the salaries of a few
recently elected and younger
teachers were slightly increased,
as they had made good.
The school has now the larg
est attendance in its history, IS
per cent larger than last year and
at least 100 students have come
and applied for admission during
the past several weeks, and being |
unable to get rooms in either
the city or the dormitories, have |
returned home. Thirty-six STU
dents came last week and got
rooms in the city.
