Golf Class Life Saving The teachers ' colleges have a challenge in physical education: increased leisure strikes from all sides. There are several million unemployed boys and girls of high-school age who need some type of leisure-time activity. To meet this need in the teachers ' colleges, greater emphasis must be placed on outdoor activities: overnight hikes, camping, swim- ming, riding, skiing, tobogganing, and archery. On all campuses mixed games and sports should be encouraged; a fair start in this direction has been made here, but possibilities are still open for further expansion in a variety of physical activities. In intercollegiate sports colleges should tend toward better co-operation with other schools and should strive for a better understanding of the objectives of these sports.

Home Economics— Esther H. Alden, Helen C. Merriman, A. Pauline Sanders, Head of Department; Ethyl V. Oxley, Sylva Wixson, Marion Wills All experiences in or out of the classroom are a part of the Home Economics picture. The tendency is toward an integration of general and vocational education. It emphasizes the social approach and involves the recognition of problems and the solving of them in a natural habitat. A faculty that is composed of specialists who are dedicated to appreciating with students the experience of a vital program in Home Economics makes this possible. Practical values are stressed in food preservation, meal planning and serving. Purchasing of household commodities is not neglected. Clothes and hats are made and remodeled. Participation and directed observation of young children in the home management house afford a type of essential experience. Managerial experience in class situations and in the home management house gives an opportunity for practice in tactful handling of human relations. Weaving Dining Room 25

Library Staff— Florence Ridencur, Lucille J. Littlefield, Estella M. Slaven This year ' s student body has seen the library expand its quarters to include two addi- tional rooms. The room directly beneath the library has been converted into a reserved- book reading room. While the room is small, it provides a more suitable place for stu- dents to do required reading than was before available. Room 104 now houses the beginning of a textbook library. Textbooks donated by publishers have been arranged according to subjects. By securing the key at the circu- lation desk, students may now have access to those books covering subjects they are preparing to teach. The additional space has made possible division of the library according to its function. Because of more room in the main reading library the student now has more opportunity to habituate himself to the use of the library. Filing Cabinet Study Tables 27
