AI. . . Pmrfiliorz Language Courses Taught by Three A valuable addition to the German Depart- ment was the purchase of a set of oral- aural records similar to those used in French and Spanish. Students found these helpful in learning rhythm, pronunciation and vocabulary. Mrs. Elizabeth H. Bender, assistant pro- fessor of German, served part-time on the Mennonite Encyclopedia staff translating articles from German. While Mrs. Verna Smith versed first-year Spanish students in the intricacies of the present tense, Miss Lois Gunden conducted the more advanced Spaniards and French- men in conversation and drill. In some classes she guided open discussions in Spanish and French. Intermediate language courses required outside reading of novels and other litera- ture, while advanced classes were con- ducted entirely in the foreign language. Yoder is Working On Two Hymnals The Music Department experienced a slight change of personnel in B. F. Hartzler's replacement of Dwight Weldy. who is away for further study. Chairman of the General Conference Music Committee, Walter Yoder and other members of the committee completed their work on a new hymn book, Songs of the Church, now being published. Working with a subcommittee, Yoder also helped gather material for -the forthcoming Children's Hymnalf' For 22 years a pillar in the Music Depart- ment, Noble Kreider was somewhat handi- capped this year due to an operation and long convalescence. Miss Mary Oyer purchased a supply of long-playing records for music and fine arts classes, and added 150 new ones from the modern period to the collection of slides of paintings. Arthur Sprunger's serigraph, Space Modulation, was exhibited at a national print show in New York last November. rr and Slll'gl'Ul1 . . ll :lIsf.'lRUS.'1
