Executives 2 ---ii- LILLIAN M. PARRILL Director Department of Music Department of Music LILLIAN MAY PARRILL, GLADYS TQELSO, B. Mus. B. Mus. MARY ANDERSON, FLOYD GRAHAM, M. Mus. B. Mus. It is said that man has a three-fold nature: physical, intellectual, and spiritual: body, mind, and soul. The body is governed by physical existence, the mind, by thought and reason, the soul, through moods and emotion. Character is developed through moods and thoughts, either God-like or God-less. Music satisfies the deep feelings that stir one while sad or happy. Good music enables one to rise above his every-day self into a realm of pure thought, happiness, sympathy or aspiration, bringing him back better able to perform his work in the world. Department of Physics L. L. MILLER, M. A. SAM PARKER, B. S. The application of the laws of Physics to music, to architecture, and to the construction of machinery makes the study of Physics one of supreme importance to every- one. Since one's concepts are based largely on what he sees, hears, etc., and his judgments determined principal- ly by his interpretations of physical phenomena and laws, the study of Physics is a dominant factor in the develop- ment of a comprehensive-philosophy of life. The super- stitious, hokus-pokus, chance elements are banished from one's thinking. L. L. MILLER Direclor Department of Physics P1120

Lois BENNETT KNOX, B. S. I am Thoth, Lord of the Halls of Books, the perfect scribe whose hands are pure, who writes down justice, and who hates every wrong, whose words, being written, are immortal and have dominion over two earths. I re- fresh memory by recorded words. I reveal and interpret all things. I am Lord of all learning, numbering, and measuring, the founder of all sciences. I weigh and re- cord the deeds of men. I drive away enmity and dispel quarrels. Your Halls of Books are full of the wisdom and witchery of the ages. Bring all youth to the portals, large and small, give them the keys, for in the Halls of Books or by their secrets is fought the great duel between intelligence and ignorance. As librarian, Mrs. McCracken is the administrator of the Halls of Books. PEARL C..

Twenty-live centuries of research have piled high the treasures of the Kingdom of Mathematics and there are yet uncharted realms waiting for the explorer. One who-unafraid-delves into its mysteries has an op- portunity for real study and advancement. The doors of all knowledge are thrown open to him because mathe- matics supports the universe of knowledge. The mathematician may be called a magician whose wand creates the marvelous and whose penetrating eye searches the hidden corners of the universel

M cus Sanus in capore sano has been the cry of depart- ments of physical education everywhere. It has been proved that only a sound mind can exist in a sound body, and the Department of Physical Education not only in- structs prospective coaches and physical education di- rectors, but is a plant for the maintenance of the physical Executives S 1' of Physical Education EDITH MAE KUBECK, B.

Joi-iNsoN Director Department of Speech Arts Page 21 Department of Speech Arts OLIVE M. JOHNSON, M. A. MYRTLE HARDY, M. A. No subject has shown more marked progress in the manner of presentation than that of speech. Instead of being taught as something only for the platform, it is A presented as practical training for all who speak. The design of the instruction in this department is not to make orators, actors, or elocutionists, but to develop personality. Such training is valuable for all, but vital for teachers. No thought, says Dr. Crothers of Cambridge, is in- teresting until it has passed through the mind of an in- teresting person. In the mind of the trained teacher something happens to electrify the passing thought. This is the magic of personality.
