Under the direction of Mr. Emil Golla and his staff, the student architects are concerned with theory and realistic problems in the design and planning of workable structures. All practicing architects as well as instructors, the full-time faculty consists of Mr. Golla, Mr. Fred Ludwig and Mr. Charles Schubert. Mr. John Williams, another architect, is employed as a part- time instructor. Vocation-oriented courses in engi- neering drawing and technical drafting are also included in the curriculum. Although the school has always had courses in architectural drafting, Mr. Golla credits his pre- decessor, Mr. Vernon Helmke, with putting the department on a firm footing and bringing it to accredited standards. Architecture projects throughout the year involve planning and constructing workable buildings in model form. ln 1964,-the outstanding models of a hypothetical chapel for San Antonio College were displayed to the student body. This year, several student projects were exhibited for a month at the Witte Museum, the first city- wide exhibit of SAC architecture students' crafts- manship. Highlight of the year's activities for the depart- ment is the annual Architecture Day, held this year on May 6. The day climaxes nearly a week of ex- hibits, films and special speakers, all of which are open to the public. hui ,..-'vs' Riel the c Buildi L i 1 L L

Mrs. Margaret Peavey was the entire art fac- ulty for 35 students who met in a tin-roofed, un- airconditioned annex building. The department engages in three yearly activi- ties. At Christmas time, a two-story window in the Administration Building becomes a showcase for a huge stained-glass effect decoration, designed by the art students. Faculty and students of the Art Department annually enter into local art exhibi- tions, competing successfully with professional art- ists. Each year the department is responsible for the designing and building of the college float for the Battle of Flowers Parade. Mrs. Peavey remembers well the first float she and the students created.

Loftin walked in and said, Build a floatf, Though it was the first such undertaking for both students and instructor, the float won first prize in the Designer Robert Burden completes work on the minia- YU-fe PUIDIC elephant, complete with trainer and pink how- d0W, a replica of SAC's entry in the Battle of Flowers Parade. .X so '- mt3lE2g0iVIsN2fI'Y Huis the last touch of paint on his space and design. urmg 15 Studi' Of the formal elements of painting ro foj lic thi an str U33 Ca sp: Ch Kc as Mi r L W
