i l Mary Brunk, student assistant to Dr. Bishop, ex- plains laboratory procedures and drawings. Students, teachers, and assistants in Natural Science spent another year searching for nature's facts in books and exepriments. Even by limiting their study to one area of pure science-mathematics, physics, biology, chem- istry-or to one of the applied sciences-home economics, physical education-students could only begin the process of searching for truth. The science majors-future researchers, medical doc- tors, and teachers-spent hours in well-equipped labora- tories, experimenting and observing natural laws in opera- tion. The Home Economics Department also continued its preparation of home makers, dietitians, interior decora- tors, teachers, and fashion designers. ln addition to courses for science majors, Division lll gave students in other fields required one semester survey courses in biological and physical sciences. The physical education classes again this year gave students opportunity to choose various sports in which to participate and learn rules. Requirements for fresh- men and sophomores were fulfilled by eight short terms of sports' studies. Miss Schantz leads a large class in a study and discussion of important principles for clothing construction and design. 15.- ...-41 - 5 .4 qegig,-gjyk - t.

Dr S A Yoder discusses controversies in literature with students. Communication of ideas, knowledge of a foreign lan- guage, and literary periods were emphasized in speech, language, and literature classes again this year. Class- room discussions, practice speeches, and a study of classics contributed to students' increasing skills in self-expression. Freshmen and sophomores completed requirements for graduation by enrolling in basic communications and general literature courses. Classes in public speaking, debate, discussion, and literature led upperclassmen into further study of principles of effective communication. A study of foreign cultures and people accompanied the students' study of various languages. Russian, Ger- man, Spanish, and French were practiced daily in the sound-proof language laboratory. College students also studied elementary and intermediate Greek. Two outstanding things which the English department sponsored this year were lectures by Poet William D. Snodgrass and the publication of a fine arts magazine Foolscap. Amos Burkholder gives a practice speech.
