Schoeffer, the Chemistry departmem hos now been comfortably settled on tht third floor of the new Science Building foi nearly a yeor. Only those of the depart- ment who worked under the crowded con- ditions and inconveniences of the o 1 c quarters can properly appreciate the mans advantages of the new location. Dr Albert Keister heods the Economic: department, o strange mixture of th« practical and impractical. We can coll i PRACTICAL because it teaches the stu dent some of the operations and proced ures of the business world, and, yet, IM PRACTICAL becouse it criticizes some o the things that business does, and dream of improvements that might make a bette business world Like many other departments Philoso phy has moved to new quarters. Dr. Johi A, Clark is responsible for the exponsior jnd for the addition of new courses. To Beaufort, too, go students of Zoolo gy to study there marine life. Dr. Johi P. Givler, head of the department of Biolo gy, is particularly interested in the de veiopment of a biological garden in Pea body Park. An integral part of our college life i the series of concerts sponsored by thi School of Music headed by Dean H. Hugl Altvater. It is to the Infirmary and Dr Ruth W Collings that we go for our flu and t rest. By our freshman and senior exam she knows us. Handicapped by not havim lab and technician of its own, the In firmory is planning such on extension. Mr. 0. P. Clutts heads the committe taking the place of the late Dr. Johi Cook of the Education department. A fa miliar sight to everyone on this compu is Curry Training School where 269 senic teachers this year are getting their prac tice hours.

Added facilities and enlarged space fc teaching provided this year to our Psychol ogy department has given rise to unprec edented progress in experimental testin and research work in this deportmen headed by Dr. James A.

The Classicol Club is one of the mos important phases of Dr. Charlton C Jerni gon ' s work.

Our DrunL THE FACULTY During our four years of college life, our faculty has befriended and guided us throughout the devious paths of education. Everything from English novels and history dates to the antics of white rats has been presented to us in a concerted effort to round out our cultural back- ground and increase our appreciotion of life in general. Obviously, it now becomes our duty to show our gratitude by frying to live up to what they have taught us. Our association with our betters has not been merely as note-takers in the classroom as this annual proves. Besides formal teas and receptions and such, most of us will carry away with us pleasant memories of after-dinner coffee at the homes of many of our faculty. How many of us have been favored with the famous cheese biscuits and eagerly begged the recipe from one instructor? How many have been oddly surprised and pleased by the combination of Chinese fruits and ice cream in the home of onother? How many authors and books hove we learned painlessly in amusing gomes? For all of us these will be among the dearest recollections of our college life. Through the mazes of eight hectic registrations ond getting majors and minors unraveled, they hove led the seniors. From the first confused registration as bewildered freshmen who weren ' t quite sure what it was all about, to our sigh of relief with the lost signature on our senior program cord, we morveled at our advisers who seemed to know unerringly exactly what we hod to take when. With such turmoil surrounding them, their calm understanding of our problems has been a continuous source of amazement and thonkfulness on our port. We can thank them for remembering their undergraduate days and trying to orrange those blissful morn- ings without eight o ' clock classes. We have them to thank for Saturdays when we could sleep until twelve. And what college girl con soy that she doesn ' t snatch all possible moments of rest? We meet our faculty in the Junior Shop for conferences. We learn thot one professor has been watching women knit so long that he is an expert critic of the best techniques involved We leorn which professors do not consider knitting a substitute for notes ond we respect their opinions. We cheerfully tuck our needles and yarn owoy to bring them out in other classes. We argue the fate of the world in open forums in the Halls with a professor as chairman. We lounge on sofas and choirs, the floor or whatever we con find, and seriously consider current events. We become better citizens for these discussions pro and con of situations on and off campus. We are learning every minute of our doily life. And so, we proudly present our faculty. Not, perhaps, a combination of all the virtues, but a group of friendly people, interested in us and our problems as individuals and en masse. First, may we introduce Dr, McKee Fisk, head of the department of Secretarial Administration, FISK Dr, B, B, Kendrick, head of the His- tory department, feels that, as in other years, the department ' s mam objective is to instill a knowledge of the finer points of history in those who elect to study in this field. As in other de- partments, plans ore being laid to celebrate cur fiftieth year. The con- tribution of this department and that of the department of Sociology under Mr, Glenn R. Johnson in colloborotion with others, such as Philosophy, is to be a book of essays. The book will be published under the editorship of Miss Vera Largent, Mr. George M. Joyce heads the Commercial department which gives a one-year course in whot the better secretary should know. The Art Gallery has become on in- stitution of the Art department under Mr, Gregory D, Ivy. The special summer course offered at Beoufort under his direction is unique among southern schools. There students work hard to master technique and acquire a sun tan. Another innovation is the class in Advertising and Display in which the girls betake themselves to town and actually decorate shop windows in order to put their theories into prac- tice. Never let it be said, however, that the department omits the trodi- tionol art work, for it doesn ' t. KENDRICK JOHNSON JOYCE IVY llMidui2M T AAai V MS
