GIRLS ATTAIN HOUSEHOLD SKILLS Modern household conveniences may assist honnemak- ers in their everyday duties, but a basic knowledge and understanding of homemaking is still essential. The well- rounded curriculum offered by the Home Economics De- partment prepares the teenage girl as the homemaker and mother of tomorrow. Fundamentals of child care, family relationships, decorating, nutrition, clothing, and self-improvement are taught in the home management course. Through actual experiences in the foods labora- tory, girls learn to plan and prepare nutritional and de- lectable meals. The wide variety of clothes resulting from girls ' taking sewing indicates their creativeness. The an- nual Betty Crocker Search for the Homemaker of Tomor- row Test gives senior girls in the department on opportu- nity to win a scholarship. Guest speakers, demonstra- tions, and films supplement regular activities in all of these courses. Where do you fit Into the pottern? Janice Noah storts a new garment.

BOYS IMPROVE TECHNICAL SKILLS Strolling into the basement of Paschal, one hears the buzz and whirr of machines and sees a display of metal chairs, skis, chests, and auto parts. Although a few ad- venturesome girls are enrolled, courses in the Industrial Arts Department offer boys an opportunity to obtain and improve many technical skills. Wood shop students learn the qualities and uses of different woods, construction techniques, upholstering, and finishing, while bending and welding is the main concern of metal shop students. Beginning with lettering and descriptive geometry, stu- dents may advance through the four years of mechanical drawing to architectural drawing and floor plans. A re- cently added course, power mechanics, teaches the fun- damentals of various machines and motors. Whether taken for future employment or for o hobby, the skills gained are invaluable. It ' s more fun without the zip-open top. Danny Cook and Jeff Lyons use metal shop implements to pry open a can. I hope Mr. Goult appreciates this Batmobile plan.

ASSISTANTS AID ADMINISTRATORS ■1 In several ways Paschal can be described as a living institution, operating through the interaction of its many specialized parts. Co-ordinating these parts is the role of the school ' s administration, and in this mammoth task administrators are aided by nine groups of hard-work- ing, study hall-sacrificing student assistants. These pupils perform a variety of essential functions. Students working in the nurse ' s office, general office, attendance office, and counseling office assist with cler- ical work, answer the phone, and run errands. Library as- sistants help maintain efficiency in the Paschal library. Elevator operators, projector boys, and light and sound technicians are other student assistants who render val- uable services to the entire school. ELEVATOR OPERATORS; KNEELING: Moore, Yocum.
