Many of us have part-time jobs in our own field, gaining practical experience that makes our studies more understandable, and that will be of value when we begin looking for full-time employment. All in all, our day is a long and busy one, but one filled with interesting activities directly related to a useful career.

THE TECHNICAL INSTITUTE BUILDING Our Day Our day at the Technical Institute is, on the average, a six hour day of lecture, shop and laboratory. Half of our time is spent in our basis course, learning the fundamentals of automotive mechanics, drafting, radio and television, refrigeration and air conditioning, or machine shop practice. The other half of our day, during our first year is devoted to related subjects, such as mathematics, science, blueprint reading, safety, and labor relations. Some of us get a couple of hours of physical education each week with the regular college classes, and a few find time to try out for the college teams. During our second year, our related subjects are largely selected in our chosen field. Also, during the second year, much of our time is spent gaining prac- t LEE M.

Our Day The Norfolk Division of William and Mary - V.P.I. -- though a relatively small college — offers a variety of subjects to its students. The majority here at the Division are liberal arts students who take such subjects as English, a language, mathematics, philosophy, history, biology or chemistry, and, of course, the required Phys. Ed.M The subjects which can be elected include psychology, the marriage course, sociology, and some type of history course--to name only a few. Many students also take chorus or band--two very popular activities which also give credit. The student who plans to major in history has American history, American government, European history, and comparative government from which to choose. An English major has his choice of classes in public speaking, creative writing, play presentations, and other various types of English--such as English Literature. Many students at the Division are interested in the fine arts department. In this field there are art and music courses, as well as piano, voice, and organ lessons for extra credit. There are varied courses in economics and business also here at the college. Shorthand and typing courses are offered, as well as accounting and business procedures. One could not tell of the many courses at the Division without mentioning the science courses--the ever popular biology and zoology, as well as the chemistry and physics departments, respectively. Organic chemistry, bacteriology, and comparative anatomy are also offered to the scientifically minded student. Something new has been added to the various courses offered here at the college--the CoOps have invaded our campus! These Co-Ops are the Cooperative Engineers who attend college for three months and then work for three months. This course has just been added to our curriculum this year, and if this year's enrollment is any indication of what is to be expected in the future, then the Co-Ops will be here for a long time.
