Amplification in All Areas LA GUAGE ARTS Emphasis in English was placed on channeling toward application of traditional ideas to contemporary life, and making those ideas relevant to today's world. More emphasis was placed on analysis of subject material not just mere gathering of facts. This was done by dividing the sophomore English classes into groups. In groups, students were freer to express their opinions and exchange ideas. This combining of ideas was helpful in working toward the group term papers. ln one class, for example, the traditional written term paper was composed into the production of a play depicting Greek gods. The program for foreign students was intensified with oral and teaching techniques in helping them to communicate better. Mrs. Enriqueta Freeman was hired as a part time teacher in Spanish and English for foreign students. Jim Batten taught part- time in Journalism . Eight full time teachers are in the Language Arts Division which includes English, Foreign Language , Read- ing and Journalism. Faculty members from Language Arts were judges in the annual U.I. L. literary, ready writing, and spelling events held in the spring. fag. WAV' Wm Ernest Holland, instructor, assists students in the English for Foreign Students lab.

Night Courses Geared to Community Need NATURAL SCIE CE Three new night courses were offered through the Natural Sci- ence Division this past year. They were Landscape Design, Hor- ticulture and Interior Decorating. A concerted effort was made to offer these courses at night to give the part time student the opportunity to take them. These type courses are the most use- ful outside of college and were designed to meet the immediate needs of individuals, the adult student as well as the full time student. Laboratories at the off-campus centers at Palestine, Terrell and Coffield were outfitted with additional equipment. New microscopes and steropes were added which made those labs comparable to the campus labs in updated equipment. For the Anatomy and Physiology class an actual skeleton, molded from plastic , was bought. This was very helpful to stu- dents in learning the anatomy . Muscles and internal organs will be added later to make the study more complete. The course in Anatomy and Physiology was modified so that the course be taken for the P. E. course Kinesiology. This was the first year that Kinesiology was offered. One scholarship was given in Biology and one scholarship was given in Home Economics through the Natural Science Division this past year.
