SPfCUU. ukucnoa D I C A T I 0 N Dr. Catharine Bullard has one primary purpose in all of her actions at Central — to prepare students to be good teachers of English and literature. As chairman of the Language and Literature division, Dr. Bullard continually strives to improve the courses offered at Central. New courses and new sub¬ jects are constantly being introduced; standard courses undergo revision. In the classroom, Dr. Bullard again works toward preparing a student for teaching. Early in her career. Dr. Bullard spent several years teaching high school in the Mid-West. This actual experience with high school students enables Dr. Bullard to draw certain conclusions as basis for her theories. Dr. Bullard has also written various articles and books dealing with high school students. One of her books is ' ’History of the State of Washington, which Dr. Bullard wrote in collaboration with Professor Harold Barto. The book is used as the text for Washington history in many of the high schools in the state. Besides being interested in preparing students to be good teachers, Dr. Bullard also takes an active interest in the students themselves. Before coming to Central in 1937, Dr. Bullard had been chairman of the English department at the University of Minnesota High School. Prior to that she was dean of women at Concord State Teachers College in Athens. West Virginia. Dr. Bullard received her Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 1942. Aside from being head of the Language and Literature division at Cen¬ tral, Dr. Bullard is a distinct and interesting person. Dr. Bullard enjoys enter¬ taining in her home and frequently has informal dinners for students, visiting of her hobbies. To Dr. Catharine Bullard — administrator, instructor, adviser, author, friend and person — this I960 Hyakem is dedicated. SuteCoH ' ElUn»bur«.

This year at Central has been a very busy and exciting one. With a record number of students enrolled and many new buildings being erected, the site, shape, and organization of CWC has been greatly changed. With the completion of the Leo Nicholson Pavilion, the new Stephens- Whitney men ' s dorm, and the married students housing, the shape of Sweecy has changed radically. The construction of the commodious education and psy¬ chology building, and the new million and a half dollar library are two more major projects. Work will start soon on another long.anticipated program- doubling of the size of the present College Union Building. Other additions and new buildings are now in the planning stages. Since so much of the construction, growth, and general improvements of the campus took place this year, we of the HYAKEM staff have chosen the theme. Progress , for this year ' s book. We have tried to include as much color as possible and to present unusual photographs done in bright tones. It is our sincere hope that you will enjoy your I960 HYAKEM both now and in the future.
