HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics Department, under the direction of Mrs. Phillip Drew, has made two important chan¬ ges this year. A program was introduced in which senior girls participated in the work-experience program. This program was proven quite successful. Another innovation in the department was the introduction of a child study unit in which the girls learn to under¬ stand children and through them, better understand themselves. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Our Industrial Arts program con¬ sists of courses in technical drawing, woodworking, metal working, and auto mechanics. The Industrial Arts course aids the student in developing resource¬ fulness. The students are given exper¬ ience in the basic processes of many industries in order that it will better prepare them for future employment. DRIVER TRAINING Again this year the driver¬ training program was directed by Mr. Eldon Paradis and Mr. James Adams. The academic course, which consisted of as¬ signed reading from a special text, and viewing of pertinent films, was supervised by Mr. Paradis. Students put their ac¬ ademic knowledge into use on the road under the able in¬ struction of Mr. Adams. The course was again successful in helping students obtain their licenses and become responsible drivers. CURRENT EVENTS SEMINAR Under the instruction of Mrs. Leroy Erickson, the members of the Current Events Seminar have been studying the Great Decisions pamphlet. Guest speakers have supplemented the discussions of Israel, Latin Afnerica, the Massachusetts Legislature, and Red China given in this pamphlet. High¬ lighting the discussion of Red China was a trip taken to the Massachusetts Institute of Tech¬ nology in Boston on January 26 . 43
