| Education and Psychology Dr. Wilbur Tanner confers with Kay Thomason on a class schedule matter as a new semester begins. Bulletin boards were projects of elementary ed- ication students all year. Developing this one are Sherry Harris, Jane Hartwig, and Wilma Lindberg. g - 4 iF Bernardine Waldie reads a story to two youngsters in an city library story hour project. One of the prerequisites of any education major is that he enjoy working with young people. I thoroughly delight in working with children on the elementary level. They are eager, yet hesitant; and each presents a new and different challenge. The highlight of my four years of college is the time spent student teaching. Each day as I enter the classroom I feel humble. I hope that the lessons I have planned will be beneficial to the children; I wonder if I will be able to use the varied approaches and new ideas that I have spent hours in class learning. Through my chosen profession—teaching—I hope that in some small way I will be able to brighten the future of the children entrusted to me. I hope never to forget that each is an individual and de- serves respect as such. How satisfying it ts to see a beam of delight come to the eyes of a child when he has at last conquered a difficult task. What more reward could one ask than his smile of gratitude! My only hope is that I will be the best teacher possible, never forgetting that my primary obliga- tion is to the children. —BERNARDINE WALDIE. Alva DR. SILAS S.

Biology Biological, botanical, and zoological understanding of nature is the goal the biology department attempts to help stu- dents achieve, to the extent of the students’ interest and needs. Expanding career possibilities, the in- creasing adequacy of department facilities, and the records of graduates in the field are drawing increasing numbers of students into specialization in biology. Dr. Anna B. Fisher explains characteristics of a plant to a group of interested students on a tour of the campus to examine different specimens. DR. ANNA B.
