Department 0 Demr Boddie Miss Thomas N cc HAT a clear way you have of put- ting things! the Duchess said to Alice. And what a clear way the department of student life introduced us to NJC. Dean Leah Boddie was a careful plan- ner in our orientation program. She made sure that we, as timid freshmen, found the answers to our eager, unspoken questions. During our college days, we learned to voice our questions, protests, misunder- standings and suggestions. Miss Boddie, -we found, was eager to learn from her students. And we profited from her ideas founded on years of working with college girls. As assistant to the dean of students, Miss Elizabeth Pugh Thomas's influential hand touched all our lives. She paired us with our first roommates, directed room drawings, helped us live in happy houses. In checking on our extra-curricular ac- tivities, Miss Thomas aided in our balance of college life so that we neither shut up nor opened out like the largest tele- scope that ever was! All of the members of this important department have worked to help us make adjustments and remedy troubles that our days at NJC might be satisfying ones.

English Department E reeled and writhed, most of us, that first day in English comp and baby language class. But four years and self- conlidence taught us the beauties and wealth hidden in the literature of every country. Freshman year we felt like Alice when she said, I think I should understand that better . . . iffI had it written down, but I can't quite follow it as you say it. Now we know the music of the spoken and the written word. The English, romance languages, German and Latin faculties have lifted our veils of ignorance and let us in on the secrets in their fields. Life in the language houses and meetings of English majors have brought deepened insight into our chosen fields. No longer do we reel and writheg we think and speak and understand. ffeefmy mr! wwffffkzg, Germfm mul Laliu Deparlmefzlx
