where a picture is worth 1000 words School of English. From this school have consistently come the editors of MIC and New, and Simmons' literary publication, Fen Wfgff, is strictly under their supervision, giving them advance training for their future careers. The last issue of the year is the private property of Juniors in the school. Among the many courses available to them, English School students prefer Shakespeare, studies of different literary periods, imaginative writing, and journalism. Least loved, but probably most needed and used, is the required course in secretarial studies. Senior practice work for two weeks of the second semester supplements class work. Students are placed in publicity agencies, radio stations, advertising agencies, and newspaper, magazine, and book-publishing houses. The English Club claims among its members girls from all schools who have a professional, amateur, or just plain curious attitude towards things literary. This year president Edith Antunes directed a Freshman- --- Faculty Tea during which the class of '47 met its future 1 mentors. Another hit of the 1943-44 season was a Poetry Festival Which featured Choral Speaking and foreign CARTER RUTHVEN JONES - - - Special Lefturer on Adztertjring poetry readings.

School of English. . HE PEN AND INK GIRLS are the ones who enter the School of English. Long papers-the bane of other schools' ex- istences-flow like water from the hands of these future reporters and script or publicity writers. And in their spare time, English School girls relax by writing for Newr, Fen Wayf, and Mic. Under the guidance of Dr. Robert M. Gay, Director of the School of English, students train for positions in publishing houses, advertising agencies, newspaper and magazine oflices, and radio stations. A broad back- ground in English literature, as well as in technical courses in journalism, publicity, and publishing are included in the curriculum of the school. Students ac- quire an extensive knowledge of newspaper and print- shop jargon during these latter courses, and it is not unusual to hear a delicate journalism major say calmly, l'll pick it up in the morgue, or a quiet intellectual demand, Did you bleed? The acid test of this technical training is the project required of Seniors in publishing- the preparation of a magazine, book, or publicity scheme that will be practical evidence of their ability. It does not take long before the Editors' Room rivals the Butt Room as a second home for most students in the f ,Q 4 arf f 92 lg QV J 416 6 . ,T Z kv' f Kar l! A Rolrerl N.

HE HOME ECONOMICS SCHOOL is the Oldest school in Simmons, for in 1903 the Boston Cooking School was taken over by Simmons and was established that time, the school offered a regular four-year course, a graduate program for specialized training in the study of institutions and dietetics or in teaching, and a course Cfor which no degree was givenD for Women who were unable to complete the four-year program, but wished to prepare for practice in a single field of home econom- ics. There were no laboratories in the college, so instruc- tion in the sciences and household arts was given in the Boylston Chambers on Boylston Street. At present, the program offered by the School of Home Economics is planned so that all students receive basic preparation in home economics and the social and phy- sical sciences. Following this, opportunity is offered for specialization in many of the professional fields of home economics: dietetics, institutional management, public health nutrition, and food research, as well as textile analysis, extension work, and teaching. ln 1926, Practice House, providing invaluable oppor- tunity for vocational training, was established on cam- pus. All students spend one quarter of their junior year 4 Q i as the School of Home Economics. At fl . Y I Getting their vitamins painlessly
