Mr. Frank Newark Heat Wave In Art Department Strange waves of heat have been radiating from Room 425, otherwise known as the Art Department. Upon investigation it was dis¬ covered that the source of all this heat was a new kiln. This kiln is actually an oven used in making ceramics and enameling metal. Thus far, the students have made many in¬ teresting ceramic sculptures. In addition the Art Department is also of¬ fering a course in oil painting. From obser¬ vation it appears that the students’ favorite subject is bottles—painting them, that is. Wanted: Engineers When you think of engineers, do you think of “choo-choo” trains? A few years ago, yes; but today engineering means electronics. As the demand for engineers broadens, so does the engineering program in our Mechanical Drawing Department. This year the pre-engineering course was centered not only on drawings pertaining to graphics but also on bringing to light speci¬ fic engineering problems. Why? In order to give the growing number of engineering students a better background in mechanical drawing, an important factor in engineer¬ ing. Consequently, is it surprising that a vast number of students have hitched their wagons to stars labeled “engineering”? Mr. Thomas Kilday

Growth In Guidance It’s bright! It’s sunny! It has yellow walls! And even picture windows! What is it? The new Guidance Suite, of course. As a result of the renovation of the cen¬ tral building, the Guidance Department, once located in that little cubby-hole on the third floor, has moved into a larger and more at¬ tractive location. There are two pleasant counseling offices, a spacious reception room, and an inner conference room. This year the Guidance Department has also enlarged the educational information li¬ brary, especially in regard to smaller ac¬ credited four-year colleges, some out of state, in which there are many vacancies existing for entering freshmen. It should also be known that many of these colleges of¬ fer excellent curricula at a very reasonable cost. There is also a continual expansion of the occupational information file. If you want some bright and sunny infor¬ mation, visit the Guidance Department. A;K Mr. Timothy F. Ring Guidance Director Mrs. Helen C.

Business Education Acquires Beautiful, New Wardrobe The Business Education Department is now decked out in its best finery. What does this consist of ? A splendid array of new ma¬ chines. Recognizing the need for preparing gradu¬ ates to meet the demands of “space-age” mechanization, the Business Education De¬ partment has been able to supply the senior typewriting classes with beautiful, new elec¬ tric typewriters. Furthermore, two printing calculators have been added to the office ma¬ chine room to supply students with the lat¬ est equipment in that field. This new electrical equipment has defi¬ nitely given a “new look” to this department. Mr. Marashio has an attentive audience ? ? ? 12 New equipment makes typing more pleasant.
