In art there are always exciting new ways to use old rules. Yesterday's outlandish picture is today's standard and tomorrow's commonplace. But art is not only in pictures: it may be found in anything men make and use. . . . It will soon be up to us, the Class of '59, using the principles we have learned from the Art Department, to apply the old rules in new ways to help create a more beautiful America. MUSIC How dull the day would be if man, in a moment of relaxation, could not turn to music for release from his daily tasks. There is something about a marching band or a chorus singing. Music is a beautiful mode of com- munication and an expression of life that is universal. . . . The Music Department brings to the student an appreciation of rhythm and melody and an opportunity to ex- press his musical talent. HOME ECONOMICS MISS ISABEL McCOBB Mrs. Myra Buell Cooking, sewing, kitchen planning — these and many other techniques of family management are explored in the Home Economics courses.
