Social c cience Learning about the subject most frequently studied, Man, falls largely into the hands of the Social Science Division. A crew cannot function that does not understand its components and what it has accumulated upon gaining knowledge of said history. Our captain of this vessel in the fleet, Dr. Giles Brown, steered his course through European and American history study groups and graced many a class period with personal accounts and an abundance of visual evidences of ports other than our own. Learning the problems encountered in living with other people both here and abroad, Mr. Ted Greisser ' s classes in sociology brought the shipmates closer to their possible solutions. Even with this, there was wide margin for a Snafu. To alleviate such a possibility, the Psychology Department offered courses under Officers Dr. James Thornton, Mr. Don Bridgman, Dr. Norman Watson, Mrs. Marie Howes, Mr. Fred Ruber, Miss Doris Raef, and Mr. Joe Kroll, and taught us such intangibles as emotions, which out at sea can become very important. Mr. Miles Eaton conducted the seamen through tours of duty in classes dealing with government — its functions, obstacles, and mechanics. To further capture the interest and enthusiasm, clubs were available on board to satisfy the needs of an international feeling among different fleets. DR. BROWN MR. GRIESSER MR. EATON

Ine and pplled y riA w MR. BOETTCHER In direct contact with the students — oops, seamen — at all times in the special duty divisions, the Fine and Applied Arts Department offered many valuable and diverting aspects of their field. Everything from architecture under Mr. Oscar Taylor, to noon chorus under Mr. Kenneth Boettcher. Also in the field of music, the various instrumental courses (especially the Riffs) under Mr. Roias added to the festivity of many occasions. Mr. William O. Payne (what ' s the O for?), of the Art Department, added a new class in ihe spring to his other courses: Freehand Drawing, Ceramics, Color and Design, second semester: (Art Appreciatio.i first semester) Arts and Crafts. His big- gest project for the year was the much-enjoyed Beaux Arts Ball. The Log you now have is the result of a lo! of diligent work under Mr. Leo Bushman. In addition to his other allega ' ed art classes (Advertising Art, Color and Design first semester; Water Color, Art Appreciation second semester) he had time to ba an artist as well. In the ladies department. Miss Pat Moore and Miss Louise Thomas (Supervisor in the Harmony House) handled the gentle arts par excellance. Mrs. Ouessie Anderson directed the stimulating classes in Applied Nursing. MISS THOMAS MR. TAYLOR MR. PAYNE MISS MOORE MRS. ANDERSON MR. BUSHMAN

f atural c cience an d Walk lemu tics MR. LEWIS Heave Ho, me hearties, it ' ll pop right out of the hat! There is indeed work to be done for there is a crying need for the graduate from this division. Every day there arises a new need for scientists. The division of Natural Science and Mathematics is doing a fine job of mee ' ing this need under the direction of Mr. Lewis. Mr. Lewis is an instructor of Mathematics. The math department starts with Basic Arithmetic and proceeds through Integral Calculus. This diversity is designed to meet many requirements of various majors. The life sciences embrace subjects from A to Z. One can take courses in Anatomy to Zoology with Bacteriology, Botany, Physiology or a survey course in Life Science in between. Dr. Allen instructs most of these subjects. Mr. Black guides the seaman through many different courses. He can be found teaching Physical Science, Chemistry Lab., or Life Science Lab. The Physics classes are handled by Mr. Love. Physics is very important in rounding out the apprentice ' s curriculum and increasing his knowledge in magnetic and sound waves. Another diversified prof is Mr. Peterson, who instructs in Geology, Sur- veying and Mathematics. Mr. Wylie, new to the ship ' s routines, instructs the various chem. classes. These classes range from Elementary Chemistry through Organic and Quan- titative Chemistry. The Natural Science and Mathematics Division is an important medium for increasing practical and technical knowledge. DR. ALLEN MR. PETERSON MR. LOVE MR. WYLIE MR. JENSON
