The closing of this school year brought the retirement of Dr. Hatfield, head of the depart- ment. Citing just two of his activities will help us get a bet- ter view of his contributions. In 1921 he became editor of the English Journal and in 1939 founded College English which he also edits. Since 1921 he has been secretary of the Na- tional Council of Teachers of English. Dr. Card, a member of the staff before the reduction in 1941, returned. While away he served as executive director of the Chicago Council of American-Soviet Friendship. Miss Thompson came as a sub- stitute for Dr. Dougherty, on leave. Miss Jacobs succeeded Miss Camenish, retired, as editor of the Chicago Schools louinal. Dr. Frogner was on the pro- gram of the National Council of English convention in Atlan- tic City. C nalldk Standing: Margaret L. Kruwel, Bess Elaine Thompson, Ellen Frogner. Standing: Louise M.

fllMC What was happening in Europe in 1848? — in America in 1789? — what country, south of the United States, is north of Nicaragua? — how to teach map reading to children? — all these questions and more are asked daily in our Social Studies classrooms. The instructors who answer the above questions, and who ask more of their own are: Dr. Frederick K. Branom, department chairman, who teaches Geography (and who hasn ' t heard of the Branom Geographies); Dr. Henrietta Femitz, who handles the Method. ' ; classes and is sponsor of the International Relations Club and the Senior Class; Harry Osterhart, who teaches both Economic Geography and Principles of Geography; William Kaiser, who is our American History expert; and Dr. Joseph Chada, teacher of European History. With such a faculty it is no wonder that Social Science has one of the largest groups of trainees in CTC. The teachers in the Music Department are Miss Frances Peickert, who is head of the department; Miss Catherine Taheny, Mrs. Elizabeth Hennessey, and Dr. Kathryn Cramer. These teachers are all accomplished musicians, and in addition to their teaching duties, much of their leisure time outside of school is spent in attending concerts and other musical functions. The main purpose of the Music Department, as in other departments, is to train for teaching. In the case of music minors, the purpose is enlarged to include giving an adequate background and foundation in the field of music. It is interesting to note that many music minors have gone on to earn Master ' s Degrees in music.
