Physical fitness during the past three years has become one of the most important phases of modern education and North Texas has activated a well-rounded program of compulsory physical training for every student. T. J. FOUTS is head of the P. E. department. P. E. instructors include Misses Donnie Cotteral, Beulah Harriss, Edith Kubeck, Thursa Steed and Faye Thompson and Fred Cobb, H. G. Shands, W. A. Cooper and Fred Slack. .DEPARTMENTAL HEADS Jive or classics-there's a full menu of melody for every taste in the North Texas school of music, directed by DR. W. C. BAIN. Other instructors in the music department are Misses Mary Anderson, Estelle Best, Mary McCormic, and Eleanor Welch, Mmes. Nadine Flinders, Esther Kerr and Inga Morgan, Drs. L. W. Chidester, Helen Hewitt, Walter Hodgson and Hugh Miller, and Ralph Ewing, Floyd Graham, joseph Kirshbaum, Walter Robert, Silvio Scionti, Dick Smittle and Myron Taylor. The fundamental and major part of most branches of engineering and a definite requirement of pre-dental and pre-medical training, the physics department, headed by L. L. MILLER, is performing an important spot in education for both war and peace. In addition to the phases of physics usually taken up in this department, N. T. has installed a modern pho- tography studio where students receive practical training. Ira C. Roberts is the other instructor.

DEPARTMENTAL HEADS.. A The mystery of the log of one-half a diameter that is formed by the hypotenuse of a right triangle squared is no mystery at all to North Texas mathematicians who are able to enlist the aid of AMOS BARKSDALE, head of the mathematics department, or of his assistants, Miss Myrtle Brown and William Beeman. The three offer courses in every branch of math, rang- ing from beginner's college algebra to advanced calculus and analytics. , Personal interest in each of his students is probably the chief characteristic of DR. S. A. BLACKBURN, head of the department of industrial arts. This department has become increasingly popular as ex-servicemen return to the campus, seeking a practical vocation before returning to civilian life. Other instructors in this department include Earl Blanton, C. C. Davis, and J. D. Hall. Back on the campus after serving nearly 18 months as a lieutenant in the Army Air Corps, DR. A. M. SAMPLEY transferred from the English department to become head of the library service department. Other members of the library staff include Misses Dorothy Thomas, Hazel Self, Lottie Brashears, Bobbie Horns and Roberta Moss and Mmes. Mary Swindle, Fran- ces Henderson, Louis Knox and Maydell Potter.

DEPARTMENTAL HEADS.. Afflicted with mike fright, stage fright, or perhaps just a little selfconsciousness, speech students soon acquire the ease and poise of veteran orators under the direction of MRS. OLIVE JOHNSON, head of the department of speech. With the help of Mrs. Myrtle Hardy, Mrs. johnson handles the work of teaching public speaking, debating, forensics, acting, stage set construction and the elimination of speech defects. Assuming at mid-term the position of professor of Bible at North Texas and T. S. C. W., DR. D. BUNN LLOYD, formerly a pastor in jacksonville, replaced Dr. T. Rouse, who served in this capacity for the past ten years. Bible taught in the state schools is non-denominational and deals chiefly with generally accepted phases of religion. With experience as a news writer, news photogra- pher, actress and playwright, MRS. DUDE NEVILLE MCCLOUD returned to her alma mater in December to become head of the department of publicity and teacher of journalism. ' W' hen she's not busy teaching classes or painting North Texas on the maps of the Southwest, Mrs. McCloud is serving as Campus Chat sponsor, general campus pho- tographer and unofficial advisor to the Yucca staff.
