VOCATIONAL TRAINING The Vocational Arts department this year moved from the old, cramped rooms into a brand new building all to themselves. Each day many boys and even some girls pass through those bright blue doors. Inside there are three capable teachers to help them learn to use their hands or increase their craftsmanship. Mr. Innocent, who earned his BS at Oswego and his MA at NYU, directs those who are interested in working with metal, in making ash trays or ceramic figures or in wiring a lamp in electricity shop. In addition, Mr. Innocent advises the stage crew who work behind the scenes at each assembly. If a student's talents are in wood working or printing, Mr. McGinnis will gladly help him. He received his BA at Buffalo State Teachers College and his MA from Columbia. Mr. McGinnis' favorite hobby, airplanes, provided a basis for the formation of an airplane club. The whir of model airplane motors coming from behind the school is a common sound on warm afternoons. For those interested in the latest farming and dairying techniques, Mr. Slone is a willing helper. He earned his BS from Syracuse and his MS from Cornell. His frequent field trips to nearby farms show his students actual methods in practice. Mr. Slone and Mr. Innocent wonder what makes Mr. McGinnis camera shy. Stage Crewers Ken Hann, Roger Lattimer, Jerry Humm, George Soto, Jim Sprague, Gordie Sawyer and Bob Decker laugh with Mr. Innocent.

In seventh and eighth grade, homemaking is required. In high school, although it is optional, many girls find it worthwhile.

Miss Judith Reid and Mrs. Memmelaar capably direct the department. Miss Reid, Goshen's petite, blond seamstress, received her BS degree at Pennsylvania State University. She is forever checking seams and zippers while trying to keep the class quiet. When something is cooking next door, it is sure to be one of Mrs. Memmel-aar’s classes. She received her BS degree at Plattsburg State Teachers College. Mrs. Memmelaar enjoys sampling the food her proficient cooks have whipped up. Together, Miss Reid and Mrs. Memmelaar prepare many girls as future homemakers, not only in class, but also in the Future Homemakers of America. The officers of this group were president, Kathy Tear, vice president, Kitty Forney, secretary-treasurer, Rose Kintz.

Mrs. Paul and Mr. Young compare athletic notes (shower records). UmiUY WNDQ fN U AUUY BODIES This year has been a busy one in the sports department, from being weighed and measured, to hitting a home run in softball. There was also a new practice gym to use for wrestling, ping pong, and games. Much emphasis was placed this year on athletic prowess in response to President Kennedy's pleas for physical fitness. Those tests helped show us how physically unfit we actually are. Mrs. Jane Paul earned her BS at Boston University. She was always putting memos to the girls around the locker room and shouting at the beginning of each class, All right, fall ini In the fall, Mrs. Paul was aided by a student teacher, Miss Barbara Bascom, from Ithaca College. We can still recall her All right, girls, form your squads on the 50-yard line. Mr. John Young earned his BS from Ithaca College.
