Opens for Inspection

campus went on display last week following the annual opening
ceremonies and presentation luncheon in the student cafe¬
teria. Featuring the latest in modern appliances, the compact
1957 project of the building con¬

area: a living room, two bed¬
rooms, a den (which can enlarge
into a living room or convert into

well as the present homemaker,
is the wealth of storage space
provided by the builders.. Cup¬
boards, closets and a variety of
shelves are arranged throughout
the house to hold the necessities
of everyday living.
The model home will be open
for public inspection until May

members will be on hand every
day during this time, including
Saturdays and Sundays to con¬
duct visitors through the build¬
ing.
During the time it is on display,
the home will stand where it has
been built, on Sierra Bonita just
beyond the new Music Building.
During its month long open house
the public will be invited to view
and place a bid for the structure.
At the end of May the bids
will be opened and the highest
bidder will become the owner
of the latest model home.
Supervising the construction of
the home, under the advisership
of Dean Reinhold, was Robert
Lee, superintendent; Thomas
Dort, assistant superintendent;
and Leo Shotton, foreman. Mem¬
bers of the class are Ronald Bark¬
er, Jimmie Brown, Albert Cau-
