Drama, Speech Classes Popular Earl Casten entertains fellow class members with an oration on How to Study. Basic principles of Oral Communication are stressed in Speech 305 classes. Endeavoring to meet the needs of all night students regardless of age or occupation, the Drama and Speech Department of San Antonio College offers several courses each semester. Introduction to the Theater as well as the Fundamentals of Radio and Television Produc- tion were offered in the fall in addition to the basic speech course. Since the art of speaking effectively is an important asset to any person, four Fundamen- tals of Speech classes were needed in the spring semester to fulfill the number of requests. One of the chief purposes of this particular course is to familiarize the student with techniques and qual- ities necessary to speak before an audience. Standing confidently at the rostrum with visual aids in hand, Mrs. Geneva Bond earnestly ex- plains to her fellow students in a Fundamentals of Speech class the necessary procedures for making an Easter basket from a coffee can. 13 A

Night Chemistry Courses Basic At last, the answer, says Billy W. Mayo as Dr. Charles Howard checks the precipitates found in Billys unknown solution of Group II cations in Chemistry class. This course explains the fun- damental principles of inorganic chemistry with a very brief introduction to both qualitative analysis and organic chemistry. The Chemistry Department, under Dr. Ava Josephine McAmis, offers its students seven sep- arate courses to choose from, three of which are offered in the Evening Division. These are In- troductory Chemistry, two General Chemistry courses and an elementary course dealing with Organic Chemistry. The introductory course is intended for those students who do not plan to advance fur- ther in the field. At the same time those who do plan to major in chemistry will find Physiological and Food Chemistry plus a course in Quantita- tive Analysis on the Day Division agenda. All Chemistry students are required to come at least twice a week to their regular class and to a lab. Cr , Si« r.

Wide Choice in Evening English Caught with mouth open, Mr. Herbert Stappenbeck makes a point to Report Writing students, Melaine Murray and Jim Baladez. This course is especially designed for students planning to special- ize in science or engineering. Evening students may choose from 55 English classes with English 300, a refresher course, offered for those who wish to review the rudiments of English grammar before they attempt Freshman English 601, which stresses composition. English 602, an honors course, is open to students who make exceptionally high scores on their entrance examinations. Offerings on the sophomore level include British, World, and American literature. The span of study in these courses stretches from the earliest works to selections from recent authors. A special course in Re- port Writing is a ailable for advanced students who plan to major in science and engineering. Mrs. Sadie Maxwell answers a question for Teresa San- chez and Connie Medellin, who are reviewing grammar fundamentals in a course which prepares students for col- lege work. 14 A Young and old concentrate on a reading assignment in an honors class, which is the melting pot of those with various achievements as well as national backgrounds.
