Holmes Jr. College
Gets Spruced Up

We toured the campus with Pre-
sident Frank Branch on Monday
of this week and were amazed at
the Improvements that have been
made with the amount of money
available. Practically every building
on the campus had some type of
major renovations with equipment
and furniture in many of them re-
placed.
A new 6-inch water main. 1900
feet long, with fire plugs at stra-
tegic points. has been laid; two of
the buildings have new roofs and
downspouts and two concrete tennis
courts have been built. Two metal
warehouses have been constructed
and a building to house the schools
two buses is nearing completion.
Only two of the projects were let
by contract. President Branch ex-
blamed. These were the water
line which was contracted for by
Albert Lee Presley and the tile work
in bath rooms of the girls dormi-
tories. by Kesler of Greenwood. All
other work was and is being done
By locally hired men. The plumbing,
wiring and lighting fixtures have
been installed under the supervi-
sion of Kenneth Van Keuren, the
carpentry work under w. d. Tru-
lit, and the painting and floor
work under Jeff Morse.
Mr. Brnach said considerably
more improvements have been ac-
complished by hiring individuals to
do the work, rather than contract
ing the work.
All projects we're submitted to
and approved by the State Building
Commission, under whose supervi-
