With the heavy influx of students this term, the history staff of Waynesburg College in- creased and more and more students probed into . . P 'f. A. M. M' bygone days to see lust what has made this old Hebod of Deparlrftifrit world of ours tick through the years. Professors Mintier, Mullaly, and Moore, teaching courses in medieval European history, American history, English history, government, economics, and other courses peculiar to history professors, found themselves swamped with inquisitive students and mountains of blue books, but, with the help of several willing student graders, finally cholked it up as a successful year. Of course, Prof. Mintier is a familiar campus figure, but Prof. Moore, new this year, hails from West Virginia University and Prof. Mullaly comes to us as the first male graduate of Smith College, a strictly feminine institution prior to the war. The Department of History fosters the work of Phi Alpha Theta, the history fraternity, and the newly established Social Science Club. The Department also sponsored a series of lectures on parliamentary law for the officers of the various campus organizations. 9

L-Z3ramcLIfic5 This year found the Department of English in new living quarters in Madison Hall, the newly pur- chased government building which also houses the Dr.Jm-nes M. Miller Department of Drama. The number of instructors of English have increased with the number of stu- dents and in addition to the regular instructors are two student helpers, Miss Helen French and Miss Doris Warne. A great deal of credit should be given to Dr. James M. Miller and Mrs. Miller who were the sole support of the department in the days when your editor was a freshman, and who have done a very fine work in supervising the work ofthe department since that time. Dr. Miller, aided by Mr. Ralph Kerns, a graduate of Waynesburg College with the class of 1941, and presently enrolled at Carnegie Tech School of Drama, teaches several courses in drama and directs the work of the College Players. The Playhouse, which is also located in Madison Hall, is the realization of a dream which Dr. Miller has had ever since the days when the Players were forced to give up their theater downtown, and students have been delighted and entertained by several fine campus productions during the year.
