Math — a must for Engineers. For more science instruction, the Jun¬ ior College included pre-engineering courses in its curriculum. The students here learned and developed the basic skills of drafting and surveying as well as engineering. It is important that these skills were taught thoroughly so that in future use as a draftsman, surv ' eyor, or engineer, one will be able to express his ideas in a drawing with accuracy and efficiency. Frank G. Scott, the engineer¬ ing instructor, has coached many fine engineers. A number of his former stu¬ dents are now graduates of such out¬ standing schools as Rolla School of Mi nes and Metalurgy, Washington University of St. Louis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Illi¬ nois. The mathematics department offered five semesters of math, including college algebra, trigonometry, analytical geomet¬ ry, differential and integral calculus, and differential equations. Having mastered these courses, math majors found the field for applying those principles un¬ limited. Another engineering course offered by the Junior College for its pre-engin¬ eering students was a course in statics. In this course the student engineers learned to solve practical enginvering problems concerning forces, stresses, and strains acting upon a body when it is at rest by applying the principles they learned in mathematics and engineering drafting. This course prepared the en¬ gineering students for future courses in mechanics such as kimatics and kinetics which the students encounter in the senior colleges. HAROLD YOUNG, B. S., M.

Fine Arts developed thought. A student enrolled in one of the fine arts courses discov’ered that he could de¬ velop his thoughts and expressions in a more acceptable style. The art department, under the capable direction of Miss Mar jorie Murray, offered the student the basic fundamentals of art. For the pioneer who sought a more advanced art course, oil painting was offered and included an in¬ troduction to portraits, illustrations, and contemporary design. Hidden talents often blossomed for the first time in the art room in the basement of the cafeteria building. 1 hose associated w ' ith the music curricu lum became aw ' are of a better understand¬ ing of their subject. The theor ' and music courses, directed by Edwin Peters and Miss Hope Baer, gave students a sound preparation for the teaching of music in school and community organizations. The many products and projects of the fine arts classes aided in brightening the college environment. The jC library and study hall were often adorned by the w ater colors and portraits by the art stu¬ dents. Their paintings were also visible in d’splay cases in the basement of the cafe¬ teria. During the year students were al¬ lowed to visit Miss Murray s art room and view the sculptured statues and other pieces of art handiwork. Miss Marjorie Murray, B.S., M.A., showed these JC paintings to high school students . . . Music teachers were Miss Hope Boer, B. M., M. M.; and Edwin H. Peters, B. M., M. M. . . . Myrtle Ann Kerchner sought perfection in her portrait . . . Ar¬ tists Barbara Hatton and Marcia Easton finished their projects in grand style. Jan Siebert was a pretty subject for Ollie Rhein ' s art endeavor . . .

The ISiirsing School finished The Junior Cx)llege School of Nursing completed its second year of operation in a successful style. The road became shorter for the sophomore students. This year each sophomore nurse received training and ex- |x rience at the State Mental 1 lospital at Anna, Illi¬ nois. The freshmen have received their caj)s and arc now preparing to embark on the second leg of their three-year voyage. For them, much of this season’s schooling t(X)k place in St. Elizabeth s and Memorial Hospitals. Their duties included taking temperatures, making beds, giving medications, and aiding patients in everv ' possible manner. The officers of the School of Nurs¬ ing were, seated, Mrs. Leto Andrews, vice-president; Mrs. Mary Mutchek, president. Standing, Helen Stoeber, treasurer; Pat Schreiber, secretary. . . . Despite their rigid schedule, the JC student nurses always met other Dutchmen with smiles. Skeleton “Geraldine was a popular object of study in the Nursing School . . . There wos never a dull moment in the anatomy class of Mrs. Risser. The sophomore class consisted of, first row: Barbara Teichgraeber, Mary Louise Gansmann, Frieda Erb, Mrs. Charlene Chandler, Sharon Wood¬ ruff. Second row: Pat Schreiber, Jean Bowers, Martha Brennan, Joyce Ex- trom, Phyllis Reynolds, Pat Kaiser. Third row: Louise Stoltz, Mrs. Mary Hammel, Sharon Waters, Diane Wil- kens, Nancy Watland. Fourth row: Mrs. Mary Mutchek, Mrs. Roberta Dan- er, Ruth Ann Meddows.
