No, that isn ' t Jascha Heifetz playing the violin, but sometimes it ' s difficult to tell the difference. An accomplished musician, Dr. Harold C. Manor, has headed the music department since 1947, and has been responsible for the delightful musi- cal programs presented on the College campus. In the center photo, it ' s quite difficult to determine whether Dr. Charles R. Mc- Clure is pulling something out of the file, or affectionately fingering D notices. Dr. McClure assumed duties as head of the English department in 1949, and al- ways welcomes a chat on his favorite Shakespearean character, Falstaff. Dr. Warren W. Ne drow, head of the biology department, has been in the service of the College since 1935. If you ' ve ever wondered what makes you tick, Doc- Ned would be happy to explain some facts about yourself that even you don ' t know. Aside from being a biologist, he ' s sponsor of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. An avid camera fan (and a good one too) is Dr. Homer C. Huitt, head of the social science department. Dr. Huitt can put you up to date on world affairs and photography. His quiet unassuming manner has won him many friends on and off the College Campus. Common belief has it that all farmers make quite a bit of money. This may or may not be true, but Dr. Daniel J. Hays, head of the agriculture department, has certainly done his share in sending these scientific iand tillers out to try and make some of that money..

As head of the home economics department, Mrs. Mary Rogers Brown is the kind of woman all men would like to have around the house. Mrs. Brown has been with the College since 1915, and has taught many a co-ed to bake a cake, and then some. The dignified looking gentleman in the center photo is Dr. Paul E. Couch, head of the education and psychology department. An avid sports fan, it is sometimes difficult to tell whether Dr. Couch is spectator or participant. He rarely misses a football practice session. The ever expanding business administration department is headed by the able Dr. Chester C. Carrothers. In the accompanying photo, Dr. Can-others is definite- ly not browsing through a book for the sake of browsing, but in all probability, gathering material for one of his crucial exams. Coming here in 1947 Robert B. (Bod) Blakestad assumed the difficult task of heading the engineers. Aside from be- ing a great guy, Bob can put you up to date on anything with a rivet in it. Dr. Russell H. Austin entered into the service of the College in 1939, and since then has turned out many re- sponsible students in the field of chemistry. With all this talk going on about atom bombs and chain reactions, here ' s one man who can bring you up to date.

Colonel Kennstii S. Sweany, has headed the mili- tary science and tactics department since 1948. Aside from producing fine professional soldiers, Colonel Sweany is sponsor of the Tau Kappa Epsilon Frater- nity. This is the Colonel ' s last year at Arkansas State College. Athletic Director J. Albert Ike Tomlinson is di- rectly responsible for the expansion of the College ' s physical education department. Since he entered into the service of the College, Ike has held the position of football, basketball, and baseball coach at one time or another. Mr. Henry C. Taylor, head cf the printing depart- ment, has been with the College since 1947. Since Mr. Taylor assumed his duties as head of this department, it has grown to the largest and most complete collegiate press in the South. Head of the department of modern languages, is Dr. Daniel F. Pasmore. Dr. Pasmore has been in the ser- vice of the College for the past twenty years, and has dene a magnificient job in teaching this difficult course of study to aspiring young linguists and Arts students. The student at the oil painting catches a nod of ap- proval from Mrs. Daniel F. Pasmore, head of the Col- lege art department. Mrs. Pasmore has been here since 1C38, and has clone wonders in expanding it to its pres- ent size.
