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

Basilone; T Sgt. Hathaway. AIR SCIENCE The Department of Air Science has a two¬ fold mission . . . J.O. to Captain Pride, bailing out, sir . . . You are cordially invited to 72 College Avenue” . . . Captain Clark, what is the most im¬ portant job in the Air Force? . . . the difficulty ratio was-indicating that this was a fair ques¬ tion . .. who is Boris Ditts . . . but Captain Grauer, I have classes then . . . think it over before you decide . . . wipe that smile off your face . . . about that drill team competition. BIOLOGY The Biology Department is mainly concerned with the preparation of students for dental and medical schools. These students devoted to the memorizing of biological names will long remem¬ ber the lycopersicum esculentum” in Dr. War¬ ren’s botany class, the cookies and ice cream during Dr. Carpenter’s final, the phylogeny recapitulates ontogeny” in Dr. Sames’ Cat” course, Dr. Roeder’s pipe, Drs. Warren’s and Sweet’s plants, Dr. War¬ ren’s gut of the week” that brought A’s and B’s to C’s and D’s, Dr. Sames’ jokes, cats slung over the shoulders of biology students on the way to Cat” lab., and the smell of formaldehyde reeking from the walls of Barnum. left to right: Asst.

CIVIL ENGINEERING When surveying the engineering acres” from the War Memorial Steps, one cannot miss the rustic Civil Engineering building. Here students are pre¬ pared for the general practice of Civil Engineering including structures, transportation, and hydraulics. Words of indeterminate encouragement are doled out by Professor Littleton to the seniors. Mr. Carbone, back from the Army, fires lectures at a machine gun pace. Fundamentals are taught by the elder statesman of the department, Professor Rice. Surveying by Professor Savage covered many tricks of the trade—Richardson House? In the dark cellar you’ll find Professor Dunkerly amongst the con¬ crete and asphalt paraphernalia. Next door, Professor Baldwin floats around in the hydraulics laboratory. The class of ’60 will be long remembered for its en¬ thusiasm toward Civil Engineering and avoidance of the Kursaal. left to right : Prof. Littleton, Chairman; Mr. Mitchell; Asst. Prof. Baldwin; Mr. Carbone; Assoc. Prof. Dunkerley; Asst. Prof. Savage. left to right: Asst. Prof. Wolverton; Dr. Wyatt; Prof. Johnson; Dr. Rethis; Mr. Ryan. CLASSICS The Department of Classics gives the student a picture of the arduous labors which led to produce the things we enjoy and an opportunity to know di¬ rectly the books and personalities that mark the steps of tradition. This is generally taken up in Classics 31 and 32 which are the most popular, since they can be used for a literature requirement. The characteristics of Zeus and Agamemnon, and Plato’s perfect city are not easily forgotten. Other courses delve deeper into ancient culture to clearly define its pervasive relation to our own way of life. ECONOMICS Economics courses are designed to develop an understanding of economic systems and an ability to analyze important economic problems of today and to equip the student with techniques of analysis which will be of value to him in life’s work and enable him to give intelligent consideration to questions of public policy. To attain this we find Professors Gray, Corn¬ wall and Ernst arguing wittily with the music of pure competition playing over the stereo in the back¬ ground. Dr. Manly is attempting to moderate the ex¬ cited debate while Professors Smith and Bridgman smile on the trio benignly. Dr. Gray is defining his terms, Professor Cornwall is phrasing the question for the linear programe and Dr. Ernst has the computing machines clacking away. Final answers are soon ap¬ proximated. pi ' SllS 1 1 [ A- ft a. tfiX Bajk r J left to right: Assoc. Prof. Ernst; Mr. Ounjian; Asst. Prof. Bridgman; Prof. Manly; Asst. Prof. Cornwall; Assoc.
