The curriculum is based on the liclief that a lilii ral arts school gives one an introduction to every aspect of education. Thus, in the academic, music and art schools, are found girls involved in activities ranging from practicing scales to discussing world-shaking problems. Newcomb is especially noted for its art and music schools. At any time, students can be found in the art school class- rooms, putting the finishing touches to work started during the regular class period, or working diligently on a term project. If one was directed across the quadrangle to Dixon Hail, the music building, there would be other familiar sights and sounds that will not be easily forgotten by music students. Piano scales and warbling voices ring out constantly from students spending long hours in the cell-like practice rooms preparing for student recitals, assemblies, A Capella lours, or just weekly classes. In Neweondj Hall, where all the academic classes are held, another variety of activities takes place. From nine in the mortiing to five in the afternoon, knowledge is pursued in the Chemistry and Bi(jl jgy labs and in the humanities cla. ' is- rooms by girls studying anything from French literature to the anatomy of a frog. Contributing to the intellectual advantages of Newcomb is its location. The cultural opportunities offered by the city of New Orleans — concerts, operas, art exhibits, ballets and playi, to mention a few, give the girls a change to supple- ment what is learned in the classroom. Thus Newcomb presents to the world girls who are well- rounded in education.
