B.S., M.A. Dean of In.rtriiction : To the Members of the Class of 1955: ANOTHER milesto ne in the development of your personality and in the attainment of those ideals which you have set up for yourself has been reached. Four years of college life and college training have produced marked changes and leave each one of you better equipped to meet successfully the many and varied problems of life which you must face. The eternal varities, truth and reality, are a necessary and fundamental part of the equipment of each individual who hopes to achieve real success. You have come to know these and have made them a part of yourself. In your chosen profession these will be reflected constantly and will serve continually as the guiding principles both for yourself and tor those whom you lead. Today, as never before, society ' s call and need is for men and women who are to be real leaders. The call is a challenge to recognize the sterling worth of human life and the brotherhood of man and to serve in bringing about a better social order. To you who are destined to become the leaders in education, the issue is very clear. It is our cherished hope and belief that each of you will go forth to exemplify the virtues — honesty, truth, loyalty, noble love, and self-sac- rificing service. We have placed our confidence and iaith in you and in your abilities. May you ccmie at last to the end of a happy and truly successful career with a feeling that all is well and that you have lived nobly and served truly. 2SZ l Je f T ;-nlii-h ;

Miss Mellien. Miss Fah.mha.m, Miss Lambohn, Mr. Sherma I Art Department IN the art class the students learn to draw, paint, sketch, design, and to make objects in handicraft in ways that are helpful to the classroom teacher. Lectures, pictures, and visits to museums and art galleries develop an aesthetic appreciation of art through the ages. All these are included in the courses in the history and appreciation of art. The members of the art department also serve in an advisory capacity to students planning for stage pro- ductions and social affairs. Visual Education THE course in visual education emphasizes the various phases of still and motion pictures, specimen mount- ing, slide manufacture, visual projects of all types, and the conducting and fmancing of school ioiirneys. Probably the outstanding feature of the course is the trip to New York City, which gives excellent first hand knowledge of the methods as well as the possibilities for achievement in the school journey. The course in handwriting gives the students a practical skill in writing and a knowledge of the principles of teaching others how to write. Twcntiz-Jtmr
