Moffitt Hall, the home of the ingenious English Department whose many creative efforts are re- flected throughout this book, is also the location of Wesleyan ' s Art Department. Headed by Mrs. Martha Hale, a well-known artist, the Art De- partment adds much sparkle to campus life. The top of campus hill was brightened this year by the modernistic art work designed by Mrs. Hale and applied to the Moffitt Hall shutters by her students. In abstract form the drawings illustrate the vari- ous aspects of Wesleyan ' s art program. Mrs. Fred Puett, teacher of Arts and Crafts, has a studio which is a fantasy land. Her collection of student-made art work makes it a wonderful place — like Disneyland — for just visiting. There a but- ton can become a flower, rags a doll, or dripping candle tallow a painted picture. Over it all (above left) broods Nocatula. Whatever the circumstances Nocatula is a fine old girl. R. V. Jennings in his poem entitled Hu- moresque may have captured her indomitable spirit in his refrain: The hag Nocafnla sifs High in the limbs of the oak, Grinning her toothless grin: She knoiL ' s uhat the shouting is all about I Whether you like this or her Indian-maiden image doesn ' t really matter — because either way she knows . . . !

Under their influence a Chattanooga boy can become a Pirate of Penzance, or a Knox- ville girl can become a Cockney Eliza Doolit- tle, or a Maryville lad can develop into a scene- stealing Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Witness: from the Spring Show of 1963, Gilbert and Sullivan ' s The Pirates of Penzance; or, The Slave of Duty, Lundy Lovelace (opposite page) as the Pirate King and Tom Gutridge (right) as the Sergeant of Police. Below are some members of the cast of Wesleyan ' s pro- duction of Tivelfth Night, part of the local observation of Shakespeare ' s Quatercenten- nial. Behind the Wesleyan footlights Fabian (Randall Trent) and Antonio (Haney How- ell) conspire, Viola (Rachel Edds) and Sebas- tian (Jim Bacchus) smile on Oliva (Agatha Shumake) , and Sir Andrew Aguecheek (Joe Eldridge) and Maria (Nancy Lutes) do what it looks like they ' re doing. Who can forget, though, Tom Gutridge ' s Malvolio! And Doug- las Henry ' s musical contribution as Feste, Oliva ' s allowed fool who had an excellent breast to sing. .ataa» yl-.«rtrtMi««l(iwa»ffl ' i itw.JSgJW - ■ ■ 11
