Her own background had been developed by wide study in other litera- tures and in other fields of art. She showed her students how to correlate their work in French with that in other subjects and to see and appreciate the Influence of France in the program of the arts of other nations.

Grad Students Slave Over Theses, Classes Singleton, Joan Vogt, Lois Jenkins There never will be a dull moment in Jane Hall this year, the sophomores said when the graduate students, nine of them, moved up to the third floor last September. The MacMurray division of graduate studies includes work in the departments of psychology and physical education. The degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Science are offered at MacMurray. Dr. H. M. Halverson is head of the graduate school. Dr. Elizabeth Rearick and other members of the physical education department staff take the P.E. majors through their paces. The physical education students have their hands full with their own homework as well as with their duties as service class teachers. Valeta Hershberger is a graduate of the University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho; Lois Jenkins, the University of Nebraska at Lincoln; Patricia McKinnon, Western Michigan College of Education, Kalamazoo; and Christine Schumacher did her undergraduate work at Illinois State Normal University at Normal, III. The five psychology students, Telma Farrugia, who is a graduate of Linfield College, McMinnville, Ore.; Lois Franklin, Blackburn College, Carlinville, III.; Yvonne Singleton, Millsaps College, Jackson, Miss.; Joan Vogt from Doan College, Crete, Neb.; and Marcia Zwler from Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Mich., lead an interesting life in their work with handicapped children and in the field of ab- normal psychology. To their dismay, there seems to be an I.Q. test for every type of person — and still they have to remember that eventually there will be other tests to master. The undergraduates have come to know these advanced students through association inside and outside of class. They instruct others in the fine points of their fields and learn a little more about human nature from classwork and Hub parties. 25
