1 I Art may be used as a tool for decorating, for self- expression, or to guide others. This room has been occupied throughout the years by serious art students, expressing themselves in oil, pastels, watercolors, pen- cil, clay, charcoal, and the other mediums of art. The ability to paint or draw is an inborn talent which finds its utmost expression through the hands of a trained artist.

rruciiLu ' I purniiLL ' produces good physical education teach- ers. Creative dance students capitalize on classroom oppor- tunities to express their feelings in rhythmic movement, and experience the same sore muscles that their future students will. Practice Provides Transition From Class To Career The continual process of learning needs a transi- tion f.rom learning in the classroom to learning in the career. This transition is provided for Marshall stu- dents OS they practice their job as a part of their college assignments. Practical experience is blended into many of the classes. Typical scenes include those of the play production class as they plan and build their scenery for College Theatre ploys, the speech- correction students who help local children by teach- ing them speech techniques, and the physical educa- tion students who learn modern dance by dancing. Using the theory that students should hove more than a book knowledge before they |ump into profes- sional careers, many departments plan their work around o full-schedule of practical assignments that put the student in situations similar to those that he will face when he is on-the-job. Speech correction, one of the newer programs instituted at Mar- shall, allows its mcijors to learn by teaching. Here Mrs. Ruth Garrett, director of the speech correction program, demonstrates the facilities available to the local children who weekly come to the college speech clinic to learn correct speech techniques. The cor- rection program offers a Bochelor of Arts Degree and a Profes- sional Certificate in Grades 1-12. Building scenery is not just busy work for the play production class, since their finished products are used in the regulor ploys of College Theatre. They wield the saw ond hammer until the finished scene acts os the backdrop for col- lege actors ' antics. 17
