The initial step in this enlargement has been the building of the Finks Memorial Hall, the new dormitory lor girls. -This building which has just been completed is shown above. As the picture indicates, the building build-ing is pratically a four story structure. struct-ure. The high concrete basement is almost entirely above the ground and the rooms are well lighted; The basement contains, besides the furnace furn-ace and coal rooms, a well equipped laundry and two large rooms which were originally designed to be kitchen kitch-en and dining hall. These are now to be play rooms for ihe girls. The main and second floors are very similar sim-ilar in arrangement, the only difference dif-ference being that to the right of the entrance on the main floor is a parlor par-lor and a music room, while the corresponding cor-responding spacs on the second floor is taken up with living rooms. The third flo'Dr receivts light through the dormer windows cut in the roof from each side and end. Only half as much floor space is provided here as in the other stories. The wood work throughout is white pine. This has been varnished a li,-;ht color, except ex-cept in the parlor and music room on the main floor, which have been stained giving a fumed cak effect. The living rooms.are small, yet with four exceptions, they are arranged to accomodate two or more girls. There is no waste space on any floor. That the building was well planned is unquestioned as one considers that with extreme dimensions of seventy three by thirty eight feet, living rooms for fifty girls have been provided, and at the same time sufficient suf-ficient space has been given to reception re-ception rooms, lavatories, laundry, store rooms and everything that goes to complete a well ordered home for girls., A feature which a ids greatly to the appearance of the outside of the building is the porch which naturally nat-urally attracts the eye as one views the building from the east. Although the porch is simple in construction it is well proportioned and admirably planned to adorn a building of this size. The brick is a buff,-and the shingle roof which has been covered with a black oil, stands out in strong contrast with it. The dormitory is to be newly furnished throughout. Bed?, bureaus study tables and Lentwood chairs which the Board considers standaid I for dormitory purposes, have been 'selected. The furniture will bar ; monize with the building. 1 Although the doimilory will prob-! prob-! ably not be ready for occupancy as school is resumed on January fith, ; yet it is hoped that it can he used I y the opening of the com! seme.-ter ; of the school year three weeks later.
