STUDENTS LEAVE THE new Practical Arts building that houses business and home economics classes. Practical Arts Enrollment Increases The newest building on campus and the most modern is the Practical Arts building. It is a modern two-story building which was completed in 1963 and houses both the divisions for business practices and home economics. The first floor is the center of the business and secretarial arts. It has two typewriting laboratories, both manual and electric, and classrooms for business machines, accounting, and shorthand. Because of the growth in the business educa- tion department, classes are also housed in other buildings on campus. The second floor of the Practical .Arts building is devoted to the area of home economics. Separate facilities are available for the preparation of foods, the designing of clothing, and the studying of family living. Showcases are placed along the halls where displays of china, silver, and clothing may be viewed. The Industrial Arts building is also a two-story structure. Construction was completed in 1950, the building houses classrooms, shops, and offices. In this building there is housed a modern printing department which does all the printing for the college. Shop classes are also held in the Taj-Ma-Hall, which is adjacent to the Industrial Arts building.

THE MODERN SCIENCE building assumes a more peaceful appearance when classes are in session and few students remain outside. Building Expansion Signifies Progress Steeped in the heritage of pre-statehood Indian Territory, the Administration building was constructed in 1888 as the Cherokee National Female Seminary and had the unique dis- tinction of being the only building on Campus for several years. During its 77 years, the Administration building has stood in the midst of the expanding campus, surrounded by new buildings and numerous faces of students who arrive each semester. ln sharp contrast to the antiquated dignity of the Admin- istration building is the modern brightness of the Science building. Completed in 1957, an annex was added to this structure to meet the enrollment demands of the ever-growing sciences. Located in this extension are elevated classrooms which accommodate more students. The excellence of the NSC pre-med program has brought its ninth place ranking among state colleges through the nation in this category and attracts students from surrounding states as well as from Oklahoma.
