ART The Art Department prepares artist-teachers and supervisors for our nation ' s schools. The curriculum is adjusted and the staff carefully selected to provide cultural as well as technical and creative development. The Art Club, composed of the art students and interested members of the community, offers a pro- fessional program in which students are given the opportunity to develop initiative, responsibility, and lead- ership. Exhibitions of the best student work as well as traveling shows of the work of famous artists are pre- sented as a part of the cultural activities of the college. Occasionally the art treasures of the community are placed on display. The acceptance of student work in local and regional exhibits and the high percentage of teacher placements speaks for the superior art training provided at Indiana. BUSINESS EDUCATION The Business Education Department trains teachers to supervise or teach commercial subjects in high school. The Department is well equipped with up-to-date efficiency devices of modern business, offering the student an opportunity of gaining a practical knowledge in the use of the time-savers and system units. The Junior Chamber of Commerce has had a very interesting and busy year with the Christmas Party for the children of the Willard Home, the farewell party for the enlisted reserves, and other worthwhile activities. 24
