Photograph of the administration building at West Texas State Normal College during construction. The photograph shows construction debris around the building and several people walking around the site. The image was produced as a postcard, which includes an unsigned message on the reverse addressed to Ethel L. Tubbs of Hale Center, Texas: "Kind Friend. I must tell you about the big debate between the Cousins & Guenther societies last Sat. night. We won. Resolved: That the U.S. should own & control the RR within her territories. Easton Allen and Charles Keffer for the Cousins, [Beverley] Sportsman & [Hilliard] Fatheree for Guenthers. Of course I am happy. The Floyd Co. Club will have a valentine party Sat. night. Wish you could be here. We have the best club of its history. The work on the inside is being pushed rapidly of the building. You can get a glimpse of the finished walls. Hope you are having better success with your basketball teams.
