The members of the ART DEPARTMENT gave instruction in different types of art. They taught primitive as well as modern styles of drawing and design. Doing their best to develop the talents of artistic students, the art teachers offered classes in preliminary and advanced painting: poster painting, which included styles of lettering and designy ceramics, leatherworkingg art metal, and art history. This year the ENGLISH DEPARTMENT consisted of more than eighty class- room sections, ranging from dramatics, public speaking, and radio production to literature, journalism and remedial reading. The department also continued its program to develop students' skills in reading and oral and written expression. Since three years of English are required of each student for graduation, this was the largest department on campus. ROW I, left to right: Pauline Cheno wefh, M.A.g Fern Doe, A.B.g Joy Ruf, A.B.
