DIVISION OF FINE ARTS CT. |. GRETEMAN M.D. Physical Education ALPHONSE A, SCHRAMM М.А. Physical Education James С. SMARJESSE M.A Physical Education Music and art are the components of the fine arts division. Fr. Carmen heads the de- partment of music and also directs the vested choir. New to the faculty this year, Mr. Dixon leads the glee club in addition to his teaching duties. Mr. Naegle is band director and tutor in instruments. Fr. Sullivan is the head of the art department. A grant of $500 each to the music and the art departments was received during the past year from the Synfol Association of New York, N.Y. Half of the art fund will be used for prizes in student art displays and half of the music grant will be used to defray expenses of glee club trips. The remainder of both funds will be used for promotion work. Mr. Dixon came to Loras from the faculty of the Chicago Conservatory of Music; Fr. Car- men received his M.A. from the State University of Iowa as did Mr. Naegle. Fr. Sullivan now has an exclusive schedule of classes in the art department, a growing concern on the campus. DIVISION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Under the leadership of Mr. Schramm, the physical education department has increased its number of courses and also improved the intramural program. With a full schedule of courses, this department now offers a complete major. When Mr. Schramm came to Loras 12 years ago, there was only occasional intra-student competition in sports. Now а year-round program enabling the student to participate in some 14 different types of sports activities is in full force. And the students have given their enthusiastic support to the seasons’ pro- grams—from ping pong to weightlifting, from bowling to baseball. Mr. Smarjesse, also a member of the de- partment, coaches the varsity basketball and baseball teams. A Dubuque surgeon, Dr. Greteman, is a special instructor teaching anatomy and kinesiology. Mr. Zahren, the athletic director, also teaches in this area. Rev, ALBERT L. CARMAN M.A. Music Donovan Dixon Music Rosert F. NacELE M usi ‹ 25
