Mr. aul Mr. John W. Paul Chairman of the Dramatic Arts and Speech Department SANDPRINTS takes pleasure in dedicating the 'l96O edition to a man who has helped bring fame to Phoenix College. A man whose efforts have brought tears to the eyes of Phoenix College, laugh- ter to her heart, and rendered sighs from her soul. A man whose efforts have pleasantly projected Phoenix College back to Biblical days, to Shakes- perean days, and to many scenes of the present day. This man is none other than Mr. John W. Paul, Chairman of the Dramatic Arts and Speech Depart- ment. The name John W. Paul means many things to many persons. Some College students associate it with the concept, theatre in the round. Those who have seen his. productions associate his name with excellence and variety in entertainment. Those who have studied under him are prone to say they studied under Paul at Phoenix College - an honor not often accorded an instructor in these days of regi- mentary teaching. r-S To those who study under him, the name, Mr. Paul means a man who is ever willing, ever able to teach drama hopefuls what they need to learn. He is a man who demands much and gives much of himself in return - a man who inspires respect and admiration. John W. Paul was born in Tarkio, Missouri, re- ceived his BA from Tarkio College, majoring in biology and minoring in English. He received his MA from State University of Iowa, and came to Phoenix College in the fall of l948. Since then, he has taught summer school six years in Iowa. He has put Phoenix College dramatics on the map with classics., novelties, light comedy, trage- dy, current dramas, and period pieces. He helped design Bons Hall for the concept of theatre in the round, and has designed many of the fine sets used in his productions.
