A View of the Departments THE session of 1927- ' 28 has many things to be proud of. Per haps never in the history of the school have we had more efficient faculty members, ready and willing to stamp out the blot of ignorance. They are men and women of learning and experience, the best that the colleges of our land could send us. Each in his or her own department rules with wisdom and justice. Because of the expansion of our school it became necessary that we have more ample class room and laboratory space. In answer to the call, there was dedicated on December 16, 1928 one of the finest buildings of its kind in the state. At a cost of $80,000 it stands a memorial to the interest that the citizens of Sun- flower County have in the education of young manhood and young womanhood. One has only to step inside and watch the departments at work to appreciate the comfort and convenience which has been made possible by the addition of this building. On the first floor, and to the right of the main entrance, the superintendent ' s office, including the sacred spanktorum, is conveniently located for the carrying on of the affairs of the school. Just across the hall the commercial department enjoys having an ample room for each of the two divisions, bookkeeping and typewriting. The English and history departments are also happily located on the first floor. The music and expression departments in their cozy little studios find much joy in these and an excellently equipped stage with scenery and curtain of rare choice. The auditorium is indeed a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Upstairs, the Home Economics Department is the pride of every girl in school. There is a clothing department with beautiful cutting tables, a triplicate mirror, individual lockers and machines. The foods department is equipped with individ- ual desks, each of which is furnished with electrical heating elements. The large electric hot-point range adds no little to the convenience in the preparation of dainty and substantial dishes. The pantry and the serving room lend their own distinctive charms. All in all, the department can boast of a well-equipped, comfortable home. The value and service of a library to an institution of learning cannot be well over-estimated. Our new building houses a well-selected, up-to-date library, catalogued by a professional libiarian. Its proximity to the history, English and science departments gives those departments an outstanding advantage in its use. The chemistry and physics laboratories rival in equipment those of any junior college in the state. In fact, they equal those of some of the four-year colleges.
