GILBERT BISHOP Division Chairman BILL FINCH JACK FROST HARRY KANE Not Pictured Physical Education -Www REX GROSSHART SYBIL HITLON Leave of Absence HERB LOKEN JIM NAU RAY NEWMAN HARRIET SHELDON WILLARD TRUSLER JAMES TURNER .5 -ens sana in capore sano is definitely not the ad on a cigarette package. ' ' l The physical education depart- ment, in addition to their responsibilities to alumni, the Town, etc., are in charge of preping Plato's metaphorical other horse. These are the people who, smiling, drive us to the pool on frosty morn- ings. For our own good.And the most unjust thing is that it probably is. This is the department which faces--and surmounts --a greater problem of unwil- ling and inept students than any other. Their field is one in which text books are par- ticularly unhelpful, in which there must be personal atten- tion in most cases, ifanything is to be accomplished. And things are accomplished, even in the face of too short, too crowded, and too infrequently attended classes. Well done, P.E., Carry On!

Hr, ,, 4 ' U BARBARA HOYT Division Chairman Child Development Economics his is the department that, among other things, teaches the girls to go out to teach others how to keep the home fires burning without burning down the house in addition. More seriously fthough this should not be taken to imply that prevention of house burning is not seriousj, the graduates of the Home Ec. department are given classes and practical experience in child care, foods, nutrition, clothing, textiles, interior decorating, modeling and fashions, in other words, in the problems of modern homemaking in an increasingly technical and appearance-conscious world. he programs offered by the I Agriculture department have A become more varied and rig- orous in an attempt to keep pace with the increasing complexity of the occupation. For example, a course in business management for agriculture is now in the catalogue. It is not true, however, that courses in Harvest and Rain dancesi' are to be included in the department fthat is, not in the forseeable futurej.
