Ag Department plans building expansion In a period of diminishing interest in agriculturally related careers, the growth of the Agriculture Department at Northwest is a tribute to its progressiveness. The department has outgrown the A. P. Fatherree Building, completed only three years ago, and an addition doubling its size is under construction. Other facilities of the department are also being built on the Northwest farm west of Senatobia. The completed additions will, with the well-qualified faculty and four basic curricula, make the Agriculture Department modern and sufficient in every respect for the agriculture student. The department also sponsors livestock and horticulture demon- strations in the Northwest District to promote better agricultural practices.

Mrs Mae keeps campus beautifulg Security keeps it safe Northwest Mississippi junior College is noted for the attractive, well-groomed campus, product of the talent of Mrs. Corrine Mc- Lendon, who is in charge of landscaping and decoration. Of course, this year the usual good grooming has suffered from the several construction projects which have marred the campus but at the same time denote growth. Flower arrangements and special ones for holiday seasons such as Christmas, which are seen in the many buildings, also add to the esthetic beauty of the college. Primary objective of the Security Department is the protection, both physical and otherwise, of all persons and property on the Northwest campus. With a big and sometimes thankless job, the security officers work for the best interests of students, staff, and visitors.

Art Department moves to new --5, building The Art Building, completed in the early fall, has become a center of interest on the campus. The spacious gallery has had the attention of both stu- dents and the public with the several art exhibits displayed there during the year. An exhibit of the water color paintings of the noted Dolph Smith, Memphis artist, was presented for the formal opening of the building. The struc- ture was dedicated at Homecoming, when a student display was shown. The color, the design, the cre- ativity and talent shown in the many exhibits, covering the range of art media, have brought a fuller appreciation of art to Northwest and the public. The artists of the Art Department faculty are dedicated in their work in developing talent and in cultivating a sensitivity to art in all people. Eugenia G.
