Tl-IEFACLILTY Though we do seem to be a group of the beautiful but dumb type of girls we still have a few master minds among us who love the sci- ences and math. Such genius is ably directed i by a fine group of men and women. Dr. Wares, also a new find, tells us just which star shall pass which planet at what time: in other words, matics and Physics. Dr. Gallent, in Chemistry, makes us like test tubes and acids and bases despite his discouraging sarcasm. No less a master at science is Dr. Kaston in the Biology Department with Miss Stipe assisting. lt's a wonderful World, they all say. Dr. I. B. Gallent, Dr. B. I. Kaston, Dr. G. Wares, Miss Stipe. Though tiny in stature she is mighty in work. Miss Arm- strong of the Home Economics Department is the one to whom We are referring. She has under her supervision not only the cooking and sewing end of house management but also textiles, interior decorating and numerous other subjects, all of which go into the education of a homemaker. At least we will know how to boil the proverbial water without burning it. j Miss Helen Armstrong Though just recently instigated as one of the major departments, the Physical Education De- partment is one of the best. With Miss Calkins, Peggy to you, Miss Anderson or rather Ann, Miss Adams, or shall we just say Adams, and Mr. Lalfleur as teachers those P. E. majors tell us it's no crip course. Life saving, riding, fencing, and many other practical courses to- gether with the theory courses mean hard work. But under such able instructors the work be- comes a pleasure.

ATT!-IE!-IELM Prof. Miller's theory of the need of scientific justi- fication for all action is shown in practice in his Edu- cation classes. Through testing and charts and expert class management We learn what not to do when teaching a group of students in the secondary schools. At any rate it's been fun. Miss Mason also deserves equal credit in handling so beautifully the theoretical as Well as the practical side of Sociology. Under- standing and farsighted Miss Mason does a lot to give us a proper perspective of social needs. t Dr. T. I. Simmons The History Department though limited in per- Miss E. B. Mason, Prof. I. T. Miller A lover of art, a scholar, a lover of youth, a landmark on Brenau Campusfwe refer to Dr. T. l. Simmons, instructor in Bible and Philosophy. Few have reached the pinnacle in life's experiences but Dr. Simmons is the living example of a man who having set a high goal has reached it through conscien- tious endeavor every moment of his life. His fine art gallery and his ideal of gathering together art treasures endears him to all connoisseurs of the fine arts. To such a friend of Brenau's we say thanks for having known you. sonnel is by no means limited as to courses. Com- bining the talents of Dr. Mooney, coming to us this year from Vanderbilt, and Miss Thomas a variety of good courses are offered in Economics, Political Sci- ence, English History, American History, Medieval History-in fact, in almost anything one Wants. One consolation for them, if we don't always seem to be the bright pupils they expect, We Won't forget when the War of l8l2 was fought. Dr. C. C. Mooney, Miss M. E. Thomas

ATT!-IE EI. Though a liberal arts college is not required to give any vocational courses Brenau offers a two- year secretarial course for those so inclined. With Miss Todd and Mrs. Langston in charge, courses in typing, shorthand, filing, and accounting are given. With but a limited number of students this depart- ment is thorough and efficient and the students with secretarial certificates have good training. Mrs. Maude Fiske LaFleur, Miss Lois Gregg Secor, Mrs. Geo. Pilgrim, Miss Florence Overton. Brenau's curriculum offers a wide variety of cul- tural subjects among which is Art. Under teachers who have been well trained in all phases of painting the art students find able instruction. Mr. Seigler and Mrs. Porter show us the beauties of oil painting, still life, portraits and many other phases. Mr. Meadows, in the practical arts, teaches the art of ceramics. Truly more should be in this department studying and gain- ing a broad cultural background. Miss Bertha Todd, Mrs. Tina Langston. Brenau's School of Speech is as widely praised as the School of Music. It is excellently directed by Mrs. LaFleur and Miss Secor. ln this department the students not only learn the fundamentals of speech but the fine art of act- ing with the concomitant arts of make-up, cos- tuming, directing and conversation. Mrs. Pil- grim, also a member of the department, has courses in debate techniques and conversation. Fully equipped and efficiently taught the Speech Department has as many majors as any other department. Miss Florence Overton has watched its growth since it was first organized. Mrs. Laura Porter, Mr. Seigler
