Drcimci cmd Speech Atkins, Carl Friends, students, and fellow Lucke, Reinhold Associate Professor speakers, lend me your ears! Instructor All the world's a stage, and well it may be as far as the students of the Speech and Drama Department are concerned. Presenting numerous plays throughout the school year, including chil- dren's productions and Christmas assemblies, manning the closed circuit radio station WSAC, and preparing orations for their speech classes, the students in this department are among the busiest in school. Possessing Within its ranks many well-known singers and disc-jockeys, the Department also contains many aspiring. businessmen, teachers, and scientists seeking to improve their poise, self- confidence and ability to express themselves. He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind, and the fool shall be servant to the wise in heart, supplied the tligme for the first play of the year.

Chemistry Second only to the joy of receiving an A in the course is that of checking in the equipment at the end of the term. HZSO4, while puzzling to many, is like a second name to the students in the Chemistry Department. Under the guidance of instructors boasting degrees from Yale, Cornell, and Rutgers, students can pre- pare themselves for a career in the field of the future. In the modern, well-equipped laboratories, xperiments demonstrating the practical -as well as he theoretical aspect, are being conducted con- tantly. Many of the people who conduct these xperiments proceed to degrees at a four-year iniversity. Not since the days of the alchemists and their ream of abundant gold has man placed so much ope for the future on chemistry and chemists.

English H541 i X Osborne, Dr. Mary T. Blondin, Arsenne Brantley, john D. Gragg, Perry E. Professor Assistant Professor Instructor Assistant Professor Largest department on campus, both in number of teachers employed and in students enrolled, is the English Department. Teaching the fundamentals of grammar and composition to the hundreds of students taking English courses, and also leading the students through the myriad paths of the world's great literature form the chief objectives of the teachers who constitute the English faculty. Besides the standard offerings of the freshman 601 courses, the staff teaches a refresher course in English fundamentals for students deficient in language skills. For the sophomore students, the department offers a rich variety of courses. Those so inclined may follow the devel-opment of their language from Beowulf to Virginia Woolf, in English 311 and 312. For the more classical minded readings in the Iliad and the Odyssey are available in English 313 and 314. Engineers and scientists may learn the techniques of the preparation of scientific reports in English 317. And lastly, should the student still remain unsatisfied, a study of the history of the literature of his own country is available in English 318a. Q '-ffn In this typical English class, some gaze at their instructor, others take notes, but all pay close attention in an attempt to absorb as much as possible.
