Enrollment Hits Hew igh At the close of registration for the fall semester, Weatherford College recorded a 358 enrollment, the larg- est in its history as a public junior college. The figure was a 19-person increase over the total of the preceding year. Spring enrollment totals also reached a new high in 1962-63 with 320 students. However, enrollment records were not the only firsts for the year. A boy's dormitory and a cafeteria in the Student Center were added to the facilities of the college. Located at 202 East Lee, the dormitory housed seven boys during the fall semester. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Morris were house directors. The new cafeteria, which was opened the first day of school, specialized in home cooked food. The Stu- dent Center was enlarged during the summer months and new furniture ordered for the additional space. Three new courses were added to the curriculum. With the addition of speech-drama courses, an interest was revived in play production. A Servant of Two Masters,” the fall production, was the first play produced at the college in three years. Added to courses in the history-government department was a new course in world geography. Journalism, added to the languages and literature department, resulted in the publication of the Coyote's Howl, the first campus newspaper in eleven years. =
