Darlene Love B.S, Iowa State Home Economics fHot Lunch Supervis orl FRESHMAN HOME ECONOMICS girls spent the first semester learning the basic fundamentals of nutrition. The proper method of settinga table was used by students when they fixed a break- fast for classroom demonstrations. The girls had lots of fun cooking but were a little- disap- pointed when their rolls and biscuits didn't look like Betty Crocker's magazine successes. A fter spending a short period on child care, the class devoted the remainder of the year to select- ing suitable clothing. The use of a color wheel bulletin board helped the girls choose becom- ing hues. It took some time to become accus- tomed to the electric sewing machines. ED HOME ECONOMICS gave Senior girls experience in freezing and canning foods. Preparing lunches and dinners were valuable classroom projects. The study of silverware, china, crystal, and linens will help the student's future selection of household equipment. Ex- ploring large furniture and home decorating in the department stores of D ' to be es Moines proved a valuable experience.

Z0 Mildred A Kellam B,A, Iowa University Mathematics QY-Teen Advisor, Sophomore Sponsor, GENERAL MATHEMATICS was offered to the Freshman class. Part of the course included advanced practice in the four fundamentals of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals: basic study of geometrical figures: use of formulas, equations, and sign numbers: and solving of practical home and job arithmetic. The main emphasis of the course was on accuracy and practical verbal problems. ALGEBRA with its formulas, equations, sign numbers, use of exponents, and verbal problems, challenged the minds of the firstlyear students. In the second year advanced algebra continued some of the same topics and introduced roots and radicals, quadradic equations, and logarithms. GEOMETRY gives training in logical reasoning and increases the ability of the student to reach a valid conclusion by his own logical thinking. This was done by the study of perpendicular and and parallel lines: of all straight line figures: of circles: constructions using straight edge and compass: locus: ratio and proportion.

AI Mahan B. S. Iowa State Vocational Agriculture fF.F.A. Advisor, Senior Sponsorl VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE has now corn- pleted its third year at Greenfield High. The courses offered include animal husbandry, soils and crops, farm management, and an adult evening school. Each student enrolled in agriculture must have some farm project. Freshmen boys have livestock projects while other agriculture boys have both livestock and grain projects. It is necessary that each boy keep a strict record of his work. A few of the activities include livestock production, testing milk or soil, studying crop production and soil management, writing farm leases, and testing corn yield. Classroom activities are supplemented by visits with farmers and taking tours of agriculture projects. UPPER LEFT: Gordon Harris proudly watches the F.
