I. year runs smoothly. The torch of knowledge has burned for a quarter of a century . From its glow, paths of enlightenment have been ignited to guide the steps of those striving for higher learning. As the beams from the torch of knowledge diffuso on the minds of men, so do the Fine Arts emit their rays of created beauty on men's hearts. Representing the flame of knowledge is the Academic Class, which ignites the deep desire for extensive learning. The building of a torch requires skill, and skill denotes the type of study employed at the Technical Institute, the center of industrial training. As the body of the torch constitutes the torch's being, so doos science assist to man's deeper understanding of his existence and environment. Musical Mr. Lewis Webb. College Director.

The story of this year's CHIFETAIN started when members of the staff began invading local merchants in search of ads to finance tho annual. Early in September it was announced that Barbara Reid had become business manager due to her outstanding work in obtaining ads. With financial problems behind, the annual started taking shape. After many consultations with Mr. Sweet, the editor Louise Disosway signed a contract with Crowder's Offset Printing Company of Norfolk. It was decided that the annual would have a hard cover. Many headaches and troubles were encountered during the times that McIntosh came to take the photos. But Mac's untiring efforts were rewarded with good results. Freshmen played a big part in this year's production with Betty Carroll coping the December Freshman award for selling the most ads. Campus organizations gave their cooperation without which producing the annual would have been impossible. Here on these pages are the imprints of our efforts. This is the Division as we saw it.
