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.

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.

Ma ry Patrick B.A. I. S. T, C. English I, Director, Senior Play fFreshman Sponsor, Assistant Sponsor of Y-Teensi. ENGLISH classes help students grow in effective personality and social adjustment through con- sideration of their own problems in speech, writing, reading, and other activities. Meeting young people their own age who face the same choices and challenges through literature is an important function which the English class must sponsor. English classes must satisfy the stu- dents' need for varied emotional experiences through conversation and discussion through informative and imaginative writing based upon their own experience and those of others, and through reading of literature on a wide variety of themes. They must give the student refresh- ments of mind through appreciation of aesthetic values in and personal enjoyment of literature, radio, television, motion pictures, dramatics or imaginative writing.
