Homemaking education has the responsibility of trans- mitting knowledge and developing skills required by men and women in the establishment of a home. The courses are based upon the mental processes of plan- ning, controlling and evaluating the use of family re- sources such as time, money, energy, materials, in- terests, and abilities. At Edsel Ford, the courses offered are: beginning and advanced girls foods, boys food, child care, per- sonal appearance, clothing, and personal tailoring.

Language Dept. NJ' K. -' 3 7 xx-AVA ry, ,Mel , ug-- lui 1 Miss Helene Wilson's German class sings songs in the language they are studying. One of the aims of the language department is to prepare students for language in college. Another aim is to interest students in other coun- tries and the people of these countries. Spanish, Latin, German, and French are the four languages oilered at Edsel Ford High School this year. A two-year course in each one of these languages is available. Miss Helen Wilson, head of the department, Mrs. Mary Jean Smith. and Miss Virginia Waldinger are hoping that a three- year course of each language will soon be avail- able for those interested. The third year in the course would be devoted to further perfecting the language. HE DAYSOF THE 'EEK 0 'I A .FP Tv. .f ig' 'i 2 Lecturing her class on French culture is Miss Virginia Waldinger. 21

t 'ts Industrial Dept. Edsel Ford's industrial education program is elec- tive. The courses in this subject are of a general educa- tional nature and can be elected by a student at any grade level. However, it is necessary for the student to follow the planned sequence of courses. As a stu- dent follows the sequence of courses in any area, the courses become more- vocational. The final course in most areas is of two hours duration, and is definitely vocational in nature. There are six fields of industrial education at Edsel Ford High School. They are drafting, printing, wood- work, metalwork. autoshop, and a course dealing with electricity. The first course in all the areas is very general in nature. These courses are planned to give the students an opportunity to become more familiar with the common tools, procedures, and skills they will need in every day life. n l O fn 'mi f ' 'fllrr 'o ,l'IlIfl+ ' 9 Il ', , s'l,' , Q f Q f V f ff 4 f ff 1,2 at ,. f, - - 'rw-'4-.frwi , .5 E.
