Bio History Note

The negatives were processed on 3 March 1964, but this does not mean that is the year that the photographs were taken. The Union opened its doors in 1964. Grounding in March 1964 seems a little early?

Pictures contain images of John Guinn (student), President Helman, David Yeatter, Earl Garver.  The foundation of Professor Tim Rieman's home can be seen north of the groundbreaking.  This house was later moved north of Route 13, closer towards Timbercrest.

Wampler Auditorium is located in the old Bible School building that composes the west end of the Administration Building.

Archivist NoteNot all negatives images were saved during the scanning project.  Just the best pictures were kept. Images were scanned by student worker in the Archives, Haley Steinhilber during 2015. Description prepared 3 February 2016 by Jeanine M. Wine
