The PI e I a e s IN MEMORIAM JOHN BYERRUM Under the wide and stnny sky Dili there a ({rave and let me he, Glad did live and uladly die, And I lay me down with a will. These he the words you grave for me: Here lie lies w iere he longed to be; Home IS the sailor, home from t ie sea, And the hunter home from the full. R. L. Stevenson.

T h P I c i a d c s Departments :: ART DEPARTMENT Over 150 students are enrolled in this department which offers courses in elementary drawing, advanced drawing, design, textile crafts, metal (copper and jewelry) crafts, and pottery. The craft courses, textiles, metals and pottery, give the student the opportunity to work out in actual material the theories he has learned previously in the elementary and design classes. The equip- ment for craft work is extensive, and includes a kiln, pottery wheels, and facilities for doing advanced work in copper, silver, and enamel. The art department sent an excellent exhibit of student work to Los Angeles to the conference of the Pacific Arts Association. This exhibit showed work of the classes in drawing, painting, design, and pen and ink, together with craft articles including jewelry, copper lanterns, boxes, and candlesticks.
