H OOD will win the war and write the peace. Guidance in eco- nomic buying and skillful homemaking demand the service of trained persons, both in the schools and in defense ef- forts, in numbers greatly exceeding the supply of available people. Eastern has adapted its courses to in- clude subiect material and experiences necessary to effectively meet the de- mands placed upon home economists. New equipment, expanded library and teaching facilities are making it pos- sible for our women to become ac- quainted with wise buying and effec- tive homemaking.

Morris, PhD., Columbia University, Head of Department. 941-42 finds the lndustrial Arts de- partment exerting itself in national de- fense efforts to keep 'ern flying by making its physical facilities and staff personnel available for the training of workers for defense industries. However, the department has not con- fined its war efforts to this type of de- fense preparation, for its regular pro- gram of training technical teachers has been a most vital contribution. Eastern points with justifiable pride to the fine contribution to national preparedness that this department has made in their training program, staff personnel, and equipment. Vlfayne P.

H LL CLEAR with new floors and freshly painted walls, the Art de- partment has victoriously emerged from its virtual black-out. ln an effort to stimulate student and faculty interests toward art and beauty in a world gradually becoming devoid of such pleasures, the department held two workshops-the first in November where uses of scrap material was the outstanding attraction, and the second under Professor E. Eweybruck. The craft bazaar, attractive hall-way displays of paintings and handicraft, and mural paints have all contributed toward beautifying our winged way. TUDENT morale can best be upheld through music, which is one of the richer forms of communication. Stimu- lating band music to urge our fighting forces ony soothing symphonies to relax ruffled nerves, but always a pageant for Uncle Sam in Review. Eastern's Music department made our homecoming a memorable one, the Christmas season a holier one, and the days since December 7 more carefree ones. Today music becomes the life- blood of a nation at war, and our de- partment of Music is expanding and re- organizing in a patriotic gesture to en- courage the vital flow of this life-blood.
