W, if In addition to his regular teaching duties. Dr. Glen R. Miller. head of the Natural Sciences Division, was very active in plan- ning the Alcohol Education Day observed in March. Guest speaker for the day was Dr. Lawrence E. Vredevoe, who spoke on the topics, Impaired Vision and Control Through Formal Education. Miller's biochemistry class students studied body functions in relation to chem- istry. One phase of study was the break- down of starch into sugar, and sugar into carbon dioxide and heat. Lab experiments ranged from making cystine by distilling human hair to the special class project of making tests With aluminum cooking Ware. Students taking organic preparation under lVIiller studied the making of carbon compounds. In the lab students experi- Muth, Chem, mented with such things as the extraction of caffein from tea and coffee. BENDER IS REGISTRAR Besides his teaching responsibilities in the Science Division, Dr. Paul Bender served as registrar of the college. His elec- tricity and magnetism course was offered again this year. For the first time in several years astronomy and optics were again included in the curriculum. In charge of Dr. H.

Commercial Stuff Increases Courses Two new courses oifered by the Commerce Department this year included retailing and ofhce management. Taught by Miss Lois Winey and Miss Irene Hershberger. the one- and two-year secretarial courses took students through typing, shorthand, secretarial accounting and oiiice practice where they learned the touch system of typing, how to take dicta- tion, how to keep double-entry accounts and the operation of otice machines such as dictaphones and adding machines. Practical work experience at the college PBX switchboard was a requirement of all secretarial students. The secretarial cou1'ses were also open to students who were not enrolled in the Com- merce Department. Students who had completed the require- ments of their secretarial course were placed by the department. Several new adding machines and type- writers were added to the commercial office equipment on third floor of the Adminis- tration Building. .-1S.SOCI.4T1jD Tl'Plfll'lH'I'l'flZ CU, . .

Future farmers received instruction from a specialist this year in Lester Zim- merman's conservation classes, while T- square artists labored over mechanical drawings under his tutelage. New equipment bought during 1951-52 for the physical science departments in- cluded a potentiometer and a small demon- stration model gyroscope.
