fine arts Present New Features This year the FINE ARTS DEPART- MENT. which includes studies in Music and Art, maintained its usual large and en- thusiastic enrollment. Four levels of Art, progressively requir- ing more technical mastery of the subject, tax the skill of students and discipline their tal- ents. Art teachers encourage pupils to devel- op their own projects, this year adding more slides and reference materials to aid students in their work. Music teachers also enhance pupils' en- joyment of religious, popular and folk music by utilizing new hi-fi and stereo sets, turn- tables and speakers. This year, the depart- ment also obtained new uniforms for the Trojan marching band. Both Music and Art courses instill in stu- dents an added sense of cultural appreciation. Mr. R. Han coaxes dulcet tones from his choruses. VELMA F. DICKSON RICHARD W. HART RONALD H. JAKES LANCF. If SCHULZ MARGARETE Slate U. of Iowa. M.A. Am. Conservatory Northern Illinois U.. B.S.

business Adds Marketing Course Students enrolled in business courses learn skills useful in professional and private life. Thus the BUSINESS DEPARTMENT, under the direction of Mr. William Corr, periodically revises both equipment and courses to keep pace with contemporary standards. A Burroughs calculator and electric typewriters are among the new ma- chines the department has obtained. The purchase of IBM key punches is being planned. These key punches will be used to aid students in data processing and com- puter work, courses already being offered. This year a course in marketing was added to the curriculum to give students an under- standing of the procedure of buying and selling goods. Mr. Harvey Waylund gives practical instruction. Typing I classes develop rhythm by typing to beats of popular music. BEVERLY BRACKETT VELERH BRUNO OLGA A. HOLDEN IRIS B. KOHLER HARVEY W. WAYLAND Eastern Illinois U.. B.S. U. of Michigan.
