Z 5 X ENGLISH Q ARE you not curious to learn what is hidden in the X Q Kingdom of Language? May we presume to state X that the English Department has the power to carry Q Q us into the realms of mythology, dramatics and Z 1 journalism through the medium of language as 1 f A expressed in literature? Here the practical and aes- , thetic find expression and give an outlook which will 4 ? Q f lead to further questionings and explorations. X N Through actual experience in speaking under guidance, much of the terror usually attendant upon 3 JOHN H. PARRY public speaking is averted. The Classroom Theater YQ ' and the Studio afford those dramatically inclined an op- A portunity to act a part and 5 construct scenery. Glimpses 7 N Z into the intmate lives of the Grelek gods and goddesses, together with those heroes of V Q the North, lead us to the be- lief that human nature is 5 the same yesterday, today 4 and forever.

Z g N ART ? l Q 7 . . 'N A SPLASH, a dash, an original flash--Art! Our ideas transform themselves from mere inspirations ? to concrete forms. The moulding of a menagerie, a 1 village, a piece of pottery, even the weaving of a rug- these give up their complex secrets and become a 4 part of our second nature if we will but try our hand X h t them. 4 9 3 Q 7 . . 5 When we step through the doors of appreciation, D W all visual life opens before us. A miniature art if X! 1 i X gallery becomes ours by collecting pictures of both ' 1 f ? ancient and modern artists. Vicarious experiences Q lead us to feel that we can LENAAROGERS ' understand, in a small meas- ure, the architecture of the ages. We are made aware of Q , the fact that our surround- X . ' ings are not merely bricks and ' ' pfaster, but contain many A ly replicas of famous statues Q ,7 N and beautiful pictures. By means of these, the cultural - side of our life is enriched. 1 4 ' . ,f gg Our Workshop g S I 4 ELIZABETH G.

We may never be able to ' Z ? name all the stars in the constellation of Orion but Q 5 we can locate the Big Dipper even on nights when we X are not star gazing. Z y In the laboratory we learn many scientific facts ? E Q f about our world. The atmosphere of singing canar- X ies lends a touch of reality to the study of nature, Q whether it be bluebird, wandering-Iew, or meadow- 7 Q nlilouse. Many extra hours are spent wrestling with GUY A. BAILEY Q t e test tube and tank.
