THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT OFFERS A WIDE VARIETY both in the background of the staff and in the subject matter offered. One of the main goals of the lower division courses is the organization of the mind. Constantly striving with this point in mind, the courses are gauged to raise scores on I.Q. tests and aid the student in the logical thought processes. Dr. Roberta Foresberg is a val- uable aid to the department, having been a co-author of Madam De Stael and Freedom Today. Mr. Fred Harrison is working towards his doctorate at the University of Washington in his away from school moments. Dr. Gilbert McEwen keeps busy Writing a book of poems. With this fine staff it is no wonder that English majors are proud of their department. it t t .15 Dr. Gilbert McEwen Speak a little louder, please!

EDUCATION ... . .rrr Vrgfgffei? s .- f :Jig ff!! I i l PLACING TEACHERS TRAINED BY THE CAPABLE PROFESSORS in the Education Department at Whittier College has always been successful. The Reading Clinic, the on campus Nursery school-Broadoaks, and the courses in Education for undergraduate and graduate work produce competent teachers to hold positions in the public schools. Kindergarten- primary, general elementary and secondary credentials may be earned. The department offers courses in the administrative field of education as well as Master of Arts degree. Chairman of the Department of Education is Dr. Homer Hurst, very capably assisted by Miss Mabel Rice. Miss Rice is well known to poet students not only for her popular classes in Storytelling and Childrcn's Literature but with students in other fields as well. Her stories at the President's Christmas Party and the AWS Banquet are a favorite with everyone. Students in the Education Department also become well acquainted with Beulah D. Bartlett and Blythe F. Monroe. Both of these instructors offer valuable instruction in their methods courses based on experience in effective methods of teaching and meeting various situations of the profession. More effective and better qualified teachers are a result of a course taught by Mr. Frank L. Grifhn in Audio Visual Education. Specializing in elementary education, Mr. Lewman supervises student teachers in this Held. Miss Veola Neely is Assistant Professor of Education and Director of the Reading Clinic, Mr. Bell W. Williams is a valuable addition to Whittier's Education Department. It is with these edu- cators and Whittier's fine training program that we maintain the high standards and recognition in the education field that we have always had. XX Dr. Mabel Rice Chairman ' e 5?

GEOLOGY GEOLOGY HAS ALWAYS PLAYED A MAIOR ROLE in the lives of men. It is the purpose of the Geology Department to build an appreciation and a respect within the students' minds, of the earth's natural landscape and to show how geological factors affect our lives. This year Dr. Leighton is using audio-slides as the basis for class lectures. This means of instruc- tion enables the students to observe geological forma- tions as they learn about them. To enhance the students' geological education, even further, frequent field trips are taken. At present the Geology Department's most im- portant project is the landslide project in surround- ing areas, which is sponsored by the National J 'Ur' f I i V.
