The Art department has many capable teachers and is one of the most popular places in the University. Mr. Vavra conducts classes of advanced students in oil painting, and Mrs. Nichols— better known to everyone as Nicky” can always be found with her two dogs, Patty and Spooky in either the crafts room or working with students on some new surrealistic ideas. Mr. Ramus spends most of his time teaching the theory of art.

Mr. Weist is in charge of the art classes involving such practical things as layouts, architecture, blueprinting, planning advertising campaigns, fashion drawing, etc. On the surface it looks and sounds confusing, but it really isn’t—that is just the interesting atmosphere of the art department. The Fine Arts course is something new this year—a three-divisional plan combining art, music, and drama. The classes were taught by Mr. Ramus, Mr. Schmidt, and Dclphinc Murphy, who substituted for Dr. Bell when he went on a trip to New York.
