Home Economics Gives Family Life Training The home economics courses are designed to prepare girls for effective home management. Skill in planning and preparing nourishing meals is emphasized in the various foods classes. Girls also learn the properties of vitamins and the foods con- taining them. Those girls with no background in home economics may elect Senior Foods during their senior year. It is a concentrated course, covering more than the Foods 1 and 2 courses. Interested boys may take the Boys, Foods course in which they learn the basic cooking skills. Clothing classes are also offered, both to those already advanced in sewing, and to those who wish to learn. Advanced girls may take Creative Cloth- ing, and sew from original patterns. Beginners may enroll in Clothing 1 to learn the fundamentals of sewing.

Here Keith Johnson works on his project. 28 Industrial Arts Assist Development of Skills The objective of Eastls industrial arts depart- ment is to combine practicality with creative op- portunity. Here boys learn how to use tools and to acquire manual skills which might be useful to them later on in life. The three classes-metalcraft, woodwork and crafts- provide chances for creativity with differ- ent forms of materials. Those who participate in these classes develop manual skills by designing and turning out their own individual projects which may include anything from hand-tooled leather saddles to wooden cabinets. These useful objects are dis- played in the front halls periodically. Mechanical drawing, another phase of industrial arts, is often elected by students who plan to be architects, engineers, or contractors. This course stresses the importance of accuracy and neatness in the drawing of complicated parts and machinery. Merrill E. Adams Metalwork Arthur M. Bragg Stage 4 ,-v Raymond R.

Physical Exercise Gives Opportunity to Relax High school students are often involved in the tension of classroom routine and homework. A good. refreshing way to relieve the resulting mental fatigue is physical exercise. Here at East, one year of physical education and one semester of health are required for graduation. The gym classes offer students a chance to improve their coordination while learning team- work and enjoying popular sports. Boys play foot- ball, softball and basketball, while the girls learn the basic skills of tennis, golf, volleyball and other sports. Boys can alternate ROTC with the regular gym classes and substitute marching practice and drilling for basketball and baseball. Health courses last one semester and include a study of the human body, tips on good grooming and a six weeks course in first aid. Apparatus gym is offered to boys who wish to gain skill in the gymnastic field. The trampoline, ring, mats. high and low liars, parallel bars and side horse are available, and the utmost care is taken by teachers and students alike to prevent accidents.
