HOWARD COLLEGE, JULY 9, 1956 _
Large Enrollment For 1st Session
Summer Enrollment
Increases By 10%
Enrollment lor the Summer
session made a ten per cent in¬
crease over last Summer.
The crowded gymnasium at¬
tested to the increase in number.
At Thursday noon registration
had reached 726 in the day school,
while last year it was only 666.
The linal count reached 730.
The evening session increased
its enrollment by thirty per cent
with a total of 98.
These figures are just another
reason why we so desperately
need to finish our new campus.
With all the classrooms full, all
the dormitories full and the
houses surrounding the campus
likewise occupied, we have only
the alternative of moving.
People, people and
registration than
more people. This

Say, but It’s hot! My branches
have been alternately scorched
and drenched so much this sum¬
mer that I think I will almost
be glad to see winter come.
Even though I miss all the hus¬
tle and bustle of the regular ses¬
sions, it is nice to welcome back
former students who return in
the summers for refresher courses.
Things seem to slow down to a
relaxing steady pace for three
