Classes ....... Coslume Designing-The colorful array of dresses. blouses, and skirts flashing in the corridors, represent the efforts of the sewing classes. Pride in work well done explains why economical seniors have such fine wardrobes. Office Practice--Among the assorted duties of the typing class is the singular one of producing copies on the Rexeo-graph and Mimeograph machines. Tests. cheers. songs. and programs for school activities are con- stantly in demand thus necessitating the patient and ua- tiring cooperation of our efficient commercial depart- ment. Home Making-The preparation, as well as the pro- vision of the bacon, is necessary to sustenance. Girls who prefer to train for domesticity, rather than careers in business or college. find numerous facilities in Home Economics to develop their skills in all the phases of home making. Practical Transcription--lVlodern devices. which simplify the stenographers work in business offices, are becoming increasingly popular. A dictaphone. an ap- paratus for quick and eflicient transcription. is a recent addition to the typing classes' collection of mechanical aids, paying dividends as a time saver. Voice Culture4Oratorical eloquence and leadership go hand in hand. Mr. Shunney's combined Elccution and Dramatics course. by offering many and varied aspects of speech, has provided the Senior class with talented speech-makers and actors, thus benefiting the students both financially and educationally. Electrical Science-In a world where electricity com- prehends innumerable uses, the need for capable workers is reflected: thus. the course in electricity has attracted a large number of our students. Here are our future electricians proving that they have mastered its practical application. General Science-Nothing is more thought-provoking than self-introduction to the world of science by means of experimcntae tion. Delving into the intrica- cies of Nature is certain to yield strange phenomena. Assimila- tion of knowledge acquired throughout the year culminates in a prize exhibit at the Annual Providence Journal Science Fair.

Clubs The 4-H Clubs The 4-l-l Club represents one of the latest additions to the club program of Cumberland High School. Organized in March, 1946 under the faculty supervision of Mr, Thomas Skahan and county leadership of Mr, Walter D, Waterman, the club has made excellent records in the Held of dairying, gardening, landscaping, poultry-raising, and farm safety. With the return of classes in the fall of l946. the club resumed its activities of beautifying the school. Shrubs were solicited to reduce the expense of this worthy project. The girls 4-H Club has been even more recently organized under the guidance of the Misses Emily Picerne, faculty member, and Germaine Seelye, county agent. Their proj- ects are centered around better methods of home-making. We are conhdent that both these groups will be awarded many prizes for their commendable efforts in improving this community. l-'mm 1'owA-l.ucy liorte. Re! porter: Barbara Beatty.
