Foreword Through the use of modern design, in various adaptations, the Warbler of 1950-51 attempts to portray to its fri ends th e well-remembered faces and scenes found at Eastern during the year just past. The theme of modern design can be viewed throughout the entire book. It can be found in the photography-detailed lines of the figure on the Science building, rhythmical patterns of lights from the library, and the shaded and patterned areas of Eastern from the air. It is there also in the page layouts-the class photographs, view section, snapshot groupings, and organizational and feature pages. The staff has attempted to express the feeling of modern design in its simple and concise form as does modern art in paintings. Several persons not officially connected with the Warbler staff have aided greatly . in the production and compietion of this yearbook . To Mr. Fred Ryan, who devoted a great deal of his time to our photography, goes our sincere thanks, as well as to Mr. Owen Marsh, a representative of the Pontiac Engraving Company, to Mr. Ed Burch, a representative of the Interstate Printers and Publ ishe rs, and to the Durand Cover Manufacturing Company. To those many other persons, not necessarily connected with the Warbler staff, who have helped in any way, do we also extend our thanks.

[ 24] Science ~acuities teach, write, travel Chemistry offers a promising future to any willing student. Many Eastern graduates have found positions in teaching or in industrial fields. Opportunities in the latter seem bright due to the greater number of men needed and the boost in pay. Still others have gone on to do graduate work. Interesting chemistry field trips were made to the Ohio Oil Refining Company at Robinson, Illinois; to the University of Illinois to inspect new equipment; and to the Monsanto Chemical Plant and the Aluminum Ore Company of East St. Louis. The Ph ysics Club, composed of majors and minors, kept up to date on topics of the day in their field. Besides regular meetings the club members went on a number of field trips. Dr. 0. L. Railsback, former head of the department, is now head of physics at the Navy Pier branch of the University of Illinois. Dr. Glenn Lefler succeeded him as head of the department. A temporary vacancy was filled by Mr. J. B. McQuitty until Dr. I. L. Sparks could be available after completing his work at the University of Missouri. This year health education was approved as a curriculum. Twenty-five students were listed as health education minors; of these five were '51 graduates. The staff was increased to four as Dr. Harland Riebe and Miss Kathryn Sneesby joined Dr. Harold Cavins and Miss Carolyn Gilbert. Subject matter consists of school a nd community health problems and mental hygiene. With the increase of staff this department is now· doing extension work.

One of the high points of the year was a spring trip to t he Ozarks. Zoology majors as well as some minors made the trip.

In this room there are records of all types, from folk songs to classical music. Other rooms located on the lower floor are the student lounge, check-room, visual-aids rooms, projection room, library of science classroom, and a kitchen used for teas. A precedent likely to become a tradition was set in June of last year when weddings of several Eastern students were held in the auditorium. Other events in the auditorium were lectures, senior recitals, movies, and other forms of entertainment. The main floor consists of a browsing room which has upholstered chairs and the latest fiction and non-fiction boks, a reference room,. a reserve room, a delivery and catalogue room.
