TECHNICAL EDUCATION David S. Go!ley John A Gar Verna Taylor Hurtchell G. U«.e Howard M. Johnson Don Reynolds During the years 1937 through 1959 the Technical Educa- tion Division participated in numerous programs concerning the development of the Weber College area, summarizes the divi- sion chairman, Lorenzo Peterson. Hundreds of young people found opportunity to equip themselves for life through the training they received in this divi- sion. As usual, it will continue to be the aim of the division to offer the community services of the past, he adds. Clifton 6. larson Gene Veskc Richard Vandenberg 13 tor nio I.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Plans for the physical facilities of the Physical Education Division, reports Dr. Reed K. Swenson, chairman, indicate the growth and service that may be expected in the future. The new one and a quarter million dollar gymnasium will provide an indoor activity center for Weber College students in both the day and evening schools, says Dr. Swenson. Lands also have been set aside in the proximity of this carefully planned structure for various athletic fields, including tennis courts and general play area and other physical deve- lopment operations. These have been so designed that they will serve first, the general activity needs of all students in class work, intra- R..d K- Sw n,on mural sports and free play; and second, the athletic programs Divi i n of major and minor sports. In addition, the professional training of physical education and recreation majors will be increased due to this new area. Dr. Swenson thinks the physical education aspect of col- lege life is of growing significance. i Ruuell N. Hir»t Marva H. Gregory William G. Mann The division has the responsibility of providing students with skills, attitudes and habits that insure their physical fitness and supply their recreational needs in every- day living, Dr. Swenson points out. In the expanded program of a four- year college, the activities will have suf- ficient variety to give satisfaction to every person participating, sufficient scope to challenge him, and sufficient zest to foster his play spirit. More important than this, the activi- ties will have sufficient exercise to satisfy his health requirements, and finally, suf- ficient versatility to develop initiative, team play, will to win, and sportsmanship. And so here, it appears then, the end- less line of Weber development will be- come in fact an endless benefit for the stu- dent, resulting in the spiritual and physical glow requisite for the realization of a full and personal life, and for zestful, useful citizenship.

HUMANITIES leUnd H. Mon ion Div.iion Head The Division of Humanities looks for- ward to a four-year program with great anticipation, says Dr. Leland H. Mon- son, chairman. Liv- ing in a world which is centering vast power in our indus- trial and political leaders, America is calling for disciplin- ed minds and mature hearts. Only men trained intellectually and emotionally can be trusted with the right use of this power. As America calls, 'Make me men to match my power,' the humanities will become increasingly significant in the col- lege curricula. In this division, we can do it. In debate. Dr. Monson says, the four-year program should expand and extend the useful- ness of debaters to the college, and to the debaters them- selves. The school will join a senior de- bating society and find suitable compe- tition for its tradi- tional speech skills among other four- year institutions con- veniently located both far and near, for vincinity meets and barn-storming tours. Dr. Clair Johnson of the music depart- ment indicates that the music directors welcome the oppor- tunity to retain ad- vanced students. M. ThMdxr Allf«d J. Clei» Anderton Ferrell R. Collett Delmer H.
