Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Geology are all featured as basic courses for various Junior College transfer requirements. Our laboratories are well equipped, and the courses are planned carefully by capable instructors: Elizabeth Krafka, biology; Samuel J. Freed, Adrian F. Zwemer, and Mildred Forbes, chemistry; Fred B. Rogers, phys- ics; and J.H. George, geology. It is thus possible for 38F $8, Avatine ¥ students to receive the required two years’ instruc- tion in science preparatory to medicine, dentistry, nursing, engineering, and other fields to which science is necessary. Vocational studies, business, and physical training appeal to practical young Americans in quest of success and recreation. aly iZz=-- N N Business, vocational arts, and physical training are necessary in our college curriculum. )

The English department in 1922 had one instructor, Miss Mathilda Schroeder, who remained head of the department until her retirement in 1944. There are now seven instructors including Nellie May McGregor, head; Ada E. Hobbs, Henry C. Klingbeil, Earl Smith, Louis K. Ueberhorst, Gladys Klingbeil, and Margaret B. Omans. All the English courses are in conformity with the standards set up by the English department of the University of Michigan. Here are the Math Pro- fessors. They know all about equations. at They all look serious. No wonder! They teach Eng- lish. Mr. R.C.Schellenbarger started University trans- fer courses in mathematics in the Bay City Junior College twenty-five years ago. Terminal courses for two year programs and refresher courses have been added to the curriculum since that date. Other former instructors were Mr. Rogers and Mr. George of the science department and the late Eugene Dusnak. Present instructors are Meta Ewing, head; W.C. Thorsberg, Leo L. Bailey, Nelda Taylor, and Frank Hewitt.

They teach history, music, political science, geography, economics, socio- logy, Spanish, French and arts. Even in our scientific age, art, music, foreign languages, geography, history, and sociology continue to attract students. Mr. Evans and Mr. Cady offer music courses basic to liberal arts and general education. The A Cappella choir has given both entertainment and in- Struction to the participants. The social studies division staffed by Miss Hodgson, Mr. Stiles, Mr. Parks, has provided training in a field that has become highly important in our post war world. Miss Bishop in her French classes and Miss Hell- muth in her German and Spanish illustrate the truth that modern foreign languages should form an essen- tial part of college study in America. Mrs. Plum’s art classes are made up of students of all curricula. For the first time in our history, our art instructor teaches only Junior College classes.
