FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT is one of the most popular departments, furnishing the best in drama, music, and art. Because of their all-round abilities, Fred Shields, Nelson Fry, Barbara Bub, and Dorothymae Miles win recognition as outstanding drama students. Look in on any musical gathering and you will probably see at least one of the following students — David Sterne, Bernard Lamb, Eleanor Morrison, and Frances Moore. We have at State one of the best art departments in the southwest. A large share of this year ' s work was done by Betty Carringer, Virginia Bell, James Clark and Toshiko Kojima. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT has four separate divisions. Astronomy, headed by Dr. C. E. Smith, is the heavenly abode of such outstanding satellites as Frances Coughlin, Elaine Snyder, James Ballau, and Forrest McGee. Biologists under Dr. Myrtle E. Johnson are John Fitch, Roland Miller, Arline Ley, and Eugene Rumsey. Chemistry, the explosive but interesting department of which Dr. D. - . Robinson is the mentor, harbors future scientists Vernon Barker, Bernard Floersch, Seymour Ratner, and Keith Whitcomb. Physics is the special forte of ambitious individuals like William Schott, Francis Millican, and Ed Sly, under the wing of amiable O. W. Baird. PHYSICAL EDUCATION et State has a remarkably well-developed and efficiently organized P. E. department. The various sports are about equally well represented.
