SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1939THE LASS-0. DENStory of Chapel Is OneOf Dreamsand WorkTSCW'* Little Chapel in theWoods, east of the college rockgardens, will he completed in January, exactly one year since President Roosevelt signed an NY A grant making its construction possible, according to President L. H. Hubbard.Rising from a grove of trees,the chapel’s white cross gives it a finished air that has prompted letters and requests from ex-stu-dents concerning the possibilities ■ f fall weddings. The first inquiry came from the former Jay Hawley, now Mrs. Norman Vance, immediately following the initial ground-oieaking ceremony. Several other requests have come to the office ofPresident Hubbard, but no defi-lite plans have been made.Drive Began Two Year* AgoTwo years ago when the chapel fund manager began a drive to fill a purse containing only dreams, students looked into a distant future when the purse would ovi rflow mind with matter andproduce a reality. Since then a great deal of love, loyalty, and old shoes have gone toward giving this hazy phantasy material form.Though small, returns from student promoting jingled loudly enough to attract a $15,000 donation and the NY A grant. Today the same zeal that prompted rummage sales, waffle breakfasts, and student and ex-student contributions is being spent on the creation of artistic accessories for the interior of the native gray stone building.ChurchesC() lAwait Students:■Whate ver vuur denomination 01preference, the chances are youwill find it. m Denton, as there are many religious sects in thecity.
