DRAMA AND SPEECH The Drama and Speech Department is most noted for its Speech 7 course with Miss Elder and her pronunciation, and Speech 5 course and those speeches. The chief aim of the department is to cultivate an understanding and appreciation of the whole field of drama. Professor Balch aided by mem¬ bers of the department accomplish this in small classes. The many plays put on were time consuming, but fun at the same time. left to right: Asst. Prof. Atallah; Prof. Smith, Chairman; Asst. Prof. Van Wormer. CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Lodged in Pearson Laboratory lay the offices and laboratories of the Chemical Engineering De¬ partment. The class ranks were thinned, but not daunted, by the barrage of distillation columns, grind¬ ing machines, and filter presses. We survived the nonesense” of Professor Attalah on our lab reports. We were in the right ball park for Thermo, but Professor Van Wormer just wanted a number to hang our hats on. We delighted in Dr. Smith punctu¬ ating his lectures on the soap industry with the snapping of his Zippo.” The entire dozen of the class of ’60 will look back affectionately at the trials of the hardest course on the hill. left to right: Asst. Prof. Evans; Prof. Gibb; Prof. Dole- man; Mrs. Bishop; Prof. Wilson, Chairman; Dr. Handler; Assoc. Prof. Littlefield; Asst. Prof. Epstein; Assoc. Prof. Messer. CHEMISTRY Since 1956, when Dr. Wilson was appointed chairman of the Chemistry Department, there have been many changes in the curriculum and in the appearance of the Chemistry building. But more apt to be remembered by the class of I960 are Dr. Stolow and stereoisomerism and tt orbitals; Dr. Littlefield and his perpetual smile; Dr. Messer and his cough; Dr. Doleman and his sports; and lastly Dr. Eddy and his penetrating gaze. We’ll all look back on these courses as frustrat¬ ing at times but an education in them¬ selves. 24 a if
