Depa r titient Chairmen • NOTABLE progress of the Biological Science Department is shown in the new popular nursing curricula, directed by Miss Mabel B. Pierson. Increased enrollment will greatly enlarge next year ' s graduating class. Nurses may remain in college one year longer than previously, thus graduating with the regular class preparatory to entering the hospital. ' mw I ' • THE DEPARTMENT of Business Edu- cation, led by Leland M. Pryor, has accom- plished several objectives worked toward over a period of years. A complete terminal course in Accounting was set up, and plans completed for an Upper Division one-year terminal course in Stenographic Training, and a three-year course in Personnel Training. • DIRECTED by Murray G. Hill, the English Department has endeavored to fur- nish foundational information and experi- ence useful to students in present and future tasks. This has been facilitated by close integration with related courses. English as the basis for every form of training becomes a part of each student ' s curriculum. • FOREIGN LANGUAGE Department, under Miss Kathleen Loly, has found the new six-four-four plan to be exceptionally beneficial to students in that department. Reading, conversation, translation, and com- position courses are so arranged that every college preparatory student may complete his language course without interruption.

Department Chairmen • DIRECTED BY Archibald M. Wed- emeyer, the Art De- partment is now a separate entity, with general supervision of the yearbook as one of its duties. Students in stage- craft and design classes made all scenery for the an- nual opera: sets for dramatic produc- tions were also de- signed. Another project successfully accomplished was the making of illus- trations to be pro- jected on the screen accompanied by se- lections from fam- ous composers. a • DUE TO great increase in enrollment. Household and Fine Arts Departments were separated this year. The curricula of the Household Arts, under Miss Kath- erine McGorray, has a practical and voca- tional purpose, reaching home-making, correct operation and care of the home, and construction of useful things for the home. • IT IS THE WISH of Miss Winifred Skinner and her assistant librarians that students shall derive the greatest possible benefit from the library. To teach students the use of library material, instruction was given in Orientation classes, emphasis be- ing placed on use of the card catalogue and student self-reliance. • MATHEMATICS and Astronomy Department, under Professor Peter W. Stoner, added three new courses to its curricula. Slide rule application proves of tremendous advantage in composition. Spherical trigonometry aids students of navigation, architecture, and astronomy. Astronomy for surveyors lends itself to the computation of time, determination of meridians, etc. • MUSIC DEPARTMENT under Miss Lula C. Parmley has undertaken many musical programs during this year. Out- standing among these was The Prince of Pilsen, all-school production, the seven- teenth century Thanksgiving program, and the Christmas pageant, Child of Flanders. An unusual number of other programs filled out the department ' s suc- cessful activities.
