FINE ARTS ONE DOES NOT HAVE to be a music major to take lessons in any division of tine Department of Music. It provides the first two years of music required for the degree of Bachelor of Music in piano, or- gan, public school music, theory, band, and or- chestra instruments. The faculty invites every stu- dent of the college to take some music subject as an elective and enjoy the advantages that are gained in this direction. Oral interpretation, stagecraft, study of the great playwrights and their works, acting and play production are the fields covered by the Speech and Drama Department. Students who enroll in this curriculum do so for both cultural and voca- tional purposes. Several plays are given in both traditional and arena forms. Open try-outs are held for each production. Anyone in the college is eligible whether he is taking work in dramatics or not. Plays are produced in conjunction with Masque and Dagger. Phoenix College ' s Department of Art was es- tablished for all students interested in the contribu- tion of art to the broad cultural aspects of liberal education, for students planning to teach art, and for students desiring to follow art professionally. No one art is studied in isolation from the others. Members of the classes include the beginner in art and design as well as craftsmen, painters, sculp- tors, architects, photographers, historians, busi- nessmen and women, housewives, and the general students. All find the individual instruction, cou- pled with the constant exchange of thought and expression, a stimulus to the creative spirit.

Our Photography Department offers a two year curriculum which may be taken as a terminal program or serve as a basis for transferring to a four year school. The first year of photography covers the basic technical aspects, and provides a foundation for advanced and specialized areas taken the second year. The unusual environment of Phoenix adds to the enrichment of the course by providing an unparalleled natural scenic backdrop. During the week of April 22-26, these arts were combined for the Phoenix College Fine Arts Week, giving the talented students chances to dis- play their varied interests. Faculty Victor L.
