BUSINESS BUSINESS: A. E. Drumheller, Director. From McElhaney Hall can be heard the clicking of many typewriters. Here is located the Business Edu- cation Department where students of ISTC are being trained in the skills necessary for teaching or super- vising high school commercial courses. Our future business teachers are instructed in the use of modern business machines, and they obtain a knowledge of business practices through courses in accounting and selling. At the culmination of four years of study in the Business Education Department, the students receive certification and their coveted B. S. degrees. 14

ART Robert C. Seelhorst, Dr. Orval Kipp (Director), Ralph W. Reynolds. Theater Arts Class works on scenery for Androcles. The Art Department provides an opportunity for the stu- dent to specialize in one or more of the art fields. English, science, music, and social studies are required of an art student while he is securing a basic foundation in art. The originality of ideas and unusual skills of this depart- ment can be found all over campus. These people are the first to be consulted for proms, and many of the signs for different events have come from their drawing boards. Although the department is the smallest on Indiana ' s cam- pus, it is rapidly growing as each new freshman class brings with it more and more students who are interested in the field of art. Students working in Crafts for Elementary Grades Class. Dr. Lawrence McVitty, John A. Christ, Robert J. Cronouer, and Mrs. Charlotte M. Hcnten. 13

HOME ECONOMICS Miss Helen Loftis, Dr. Opal T. Rhodes (Director), Miss Rachel D. Moss, Mrs. Fannie D. Smith. The main purpose of the Home Economics Depart- ment is to prepare men and women for the respon- sibilities and problems of homemaking and family leadership. It also prepares the home economist for professional life. Through the laboratories and other home facilities at the college, the student of home eco- nomics is able to put into practice the principles which are learned in the classroom. One of the interests of the Home Economics Department is the nursery school for children two and three years of age. Juniors in the department handle the school cafeteria where com- muters, Keith pupils, and the faculty eat lunch. There are also two home management houses where the students learn all aspects of homemaking including child care. 15
