Drake Was in charge of physical sciences from the .beginning of the school till 1914. A year later F. H. Currens came to Western to head a Depart- ment of Chemistry, a position which he still holds. iDr. Currens Was head of the physics department for a number of years after he came to Western. Dr. Currens was unassisted in the chemistry section at first, but in 1922 Wilber Greer Was an assistant Tin the department. In 1928 Paul Neureiter came 1 from Austria to teach at Western. The same year l Waldo Horrabin, a former Western student, also ,became associated with the chemistry department. The department continued to grow, and in 1932 1 C. W. Bennett also became a member of the chem- iistry faculty. ' l In 1928 the Chemistry Club was organized by a group of students, many of them chemistry ma- 1 jors, and others, in many cases not in the depart- ment at all, who were interested in the field. Dr. Currens was the club sponsor, and since that time T . . . the club has grown untll today lt IS one of the Hargest groups on the campus. Meetings are held itwice monthly, the time being devoted to experi- lments and addresses upon the most recent develop- iments in the study of chemistry. The club has Tpresented an assembly program annually, an ac- icount of which would comprise an interesting lstudy in itself. i THE CHEMISTRY CLUB 1 U91 1

Music During the first five years after the school was organized Winefred Swartz taught, and was in charge of, all of the music of the school. At the time of her appointment the school was without any equipment, not having even a piano. The liter- ary societies purchased two Haines pianos, which were used by students in general, and 'later became common property of the school. In 1906 Maud Shamel was selected by President Bayliss to organize a department of music and assume charge of its activities. Miss Shamel retired in 1914 and the executive work in the department was handled by a number of capable persons between 1914 and 1921, at which time Theresa Wild came to Western as head of the music department. In the same year Edith Dallam, who had been in charge of instru- mental music since 1914, retired and was replaced by Karl Crilly, present instructor of instrumental music. Clel Silvey became associated with the de- partment in 1930. Bernice Winchester has been instructor of violin since 1931. Numerous student activities have been con- ducted since the early existence of the school, under the direction of the instructors of music. In 1905 the first chorus was organized, and presented a con- cert, it being the first event to take place in the new auditorium. Miss Shamel organized the first orchestra. Miss Wild organized and directs the MacDowell Glee Club. Mr. Silvey assumed charge of the men's vocal work and is at present director of the Men's Glee Club. Mr. Crilly now directs f 'Q V sf the orchestra. at -1- 1 egg 'T f 'm .,.1 -P .Yi 'N es' Sig f ' ' Q- si . '15 RevengerwsQEasfwssaa3sQT5NS.'Qs?sissisa3isssssSs5EiiEsN Sssisis sag ..., at .X -Ms. ..

Art and Industry Hundreds of students have been made curious by the presence of the very artistic brackets found in Room 34 in the main building. Their location is quickly understood when it isnlearned that the art department occupied that section of the third floor from 1902 till 1918. S. L. Smith was the first art instructor, and was replaced by Jessie Buckner in 1907. Miss Buckner passed away suddenly in the fall of 1925 . Alberta E. Strome Was made act- ing head of the department until Theodora Pottle was made head of the department in 1928. Mrs. Strome continued to be assistant in the department. Manual arts were introduced at Western Illi- nois State Normal School a year after the organiza-H tion in 1903. Lewis H. Burch was in charge of the first classes in this department. The work shop was located in the basement of the main building and the equipment consisted of twelve benches and a few general shop tools. In 1907 a wood lathe was added to the equipment, and although the room was wired to afford the workers light and power, heat was not secured for that section of the build- ing for several years. Mr. Burch retired in 1911 and was followed by Charles E. White, E. A. Fran- quemont, Daniel Green, and Wayne Wetzel, who has been head of the department since 1918. Mr. ,Wetzel had been an assistant prior to his appoint- ment as head, in a position now held by Raymond Miller, who has charge of the school printing shop. With the completion of the arts building in 1918 these departments were moved into their new quar- tCI'S.
