Mr. Merwin Forbes started a night course in the spring of 1965. and in the fall. astronomy was of- fered in the day as well. This spring, student in- terest was so great that two day courses were formed. ln addition to star-gazing in the Planetarium, started in September l96l under the direction of Mr. Frank McConnell, students gathered on cam- pus on clear nights to view planets, galaxies, con- stellations, stars and asteroids through Mr. Forbes' telescope. Solar and lunar facts are a part of the course. Azimuth and altitude, 'latitude and longitude, the Vernal Equinox, and summer and winter sol- stices are used to indicate time and location. With the growing interest in Astronomy, a more advanced section will be offered next fall.

Mortuary Science Fall Curriculum Revised One of the newest programs at San Antonio College is offered by the MORTUARY SCIENCE DEPART- MENT. Founded in 1961 under the direction of Mr. John H. Cage, 17 students were enrolled for courses in Embalming, Restorative Art, Mortuary Science Or- ientation, Mortuary Law, Mortuary Accounting, Psy- chology of Music, Mortuary Management and Clinical Embalming. Twenty-three students were enrolled this ear. Y ln June of 1964-, Mr. Cage filled a vacated position at an out-of-state college and Mr. Rex Buell was named chairman of the department. This fall, two of the original classes, Mortuary Sci- ence Orientation and Psychology of Music, were dropped and replaced by History of Mortuary Science and Re- search in Mortuary Science. During the year students were addressed by Mr. E. L. Connally, president, Connally Funeral Home in Wacog SAC hosted a Clergy-Funeral Director Seminar draw- ing delegates from San Antonio, Austin, and surround- ing areas, and the department displayed drawings and photographs in the Science Building of local funeral homes where students receive practical training. Having demonstrated outstanding academic ability during the previous year, three sophomores were pre- sented Mortuary Science scholarships. They were Mark De Vries, James Floyd and Curtis Spenrath. Funds for these scholarships were made available by an annual Curtis Spenrath and James Floyd record the muscular contractions of a turtle which can be compared to that of the human heart muscle grant furnished by Mr. Robert L. Waltrip of Heights Funeral Home in Houston. In November Mr. Buell was elected secretary-treasun er of the University of Mortuary Science Education As- sociation in Chicago. An additional honor for the de- partment was earned by Curtis Spenrath who was the first Mortuary Science student to earn a 3.0 grade average. Next fall the department is scheduled to move into the new Technical Arts Building where additional facil- 1t1es will enable students to further their studies.
