Self Reliance Is Taught In The Home Arts. Even though a girl may find her career is not confined solely to the home, a working knowledge of home arts is useful in any career. The problems of taking care of herself and a home are met and overcome in the classes of the Homemaking Department. Sewing and millinery classes offer the student a chance to put her knowlekge of fabrics into practical use combined with her own touches of creativity. In the cooking classes, knowledge of food preparation and nutrition finds its way to the kitchen and provides the chefs with an opportunity to sample their gourmet delights. An interesting aspect of the department is that it offers a Boy’s Home Arts Course, proving that the stove and sewing machine no longer belong solely to the feminine domain. 25

Math % From the soaring skyscraper of man’s genius to the toppling tower of a child’s building blocks, mathematics is ever present in our surroundings. We constantly use the number and the logic of its language: calculating the number of minutes for the dash between lockers and classes, the chances for a winning poker hand, or the expenses of a prom night. It gives us tools with which to better our future, to shorten our work days, and to lengthen our lives. At Allen Park High, the essentials of mathematics are offered through diverse courses designed for each student of varying ability. From the basics of refresher’s math to the intricacies of calculus, the “tools of our future” are now being cut within us. 24
