New doors ot opportunity for
women in the graphic arts field
have been opened through new
and faster methods of printing,
coupled with the need for
increased production in
typesetting for printing plants.

Gatewood, chairman of the
School of Graphic Arts, the
introduction of phototypesetting
machines which are

printing. The demand for
graduates of this course is
tremendous, according to faculty
members at the college.
“Requests come from newspaper
production managers over the
entire eastern seaboard and we
cannot begin to supply the needed
personnel,” Gatewood states.
In addition to classes in the
punching of tape, students
receive instruction in the
“monitoring” of the school’s
Linofilm Quick phototypesetter,
Compugraphics, Photon and in
the “past-up” of newspapers and
commercial forms. The
curriculum is designed so that
graduates will be valuable assets
in any composing room and able
to perform any task in the
production of printing.
“The field is wide open and the
opportunity for advancement is
good,” Gatewood relates. “Any
young lady undecided about her
future should investigate the
potentials available in the fast-
growing graphic
communications field.”

Do, 1 Do!” as an “irresistible
musical comedy hit that
chronicles 50 years of happy
marriage of Michael and Agnes

through the births of their
children, the quarrels, the ups,
the downs, the tears, the laughter
and the pervading love that binds
a couple together, all to the
accompainment of a dazzling
harvest of song and dance. It is a
charming and tuneful tribute to
the institutions of love and
marriage.”

the compliment from Igor
Stravinsky as “the best boys’
choir in the world.” The choir has
