Students prepare or homemaking duties Basic skills of sewing, cooking, and ward- robe planning were taught the girls in Home Economics.-The program also included a course for seventh and eighth grade girls. During the latter part of the year, students used new equipment in the new Greenwood building. This included new kitchen units and new sewing machines. Each year the girls have three traditional ac- tivities. A style show of clothes made and mod- eled by the girls was presented for Greenwood students and parents, a Christmas tea was given for their mothers, and a faculty dinner in the spring was prepared and served by the stu- dents. The goal of the department was to prepare students to be successful future homemakers.

Library stimulates research and stud J. RAY SCARBOROUGH is Green- wood's librarian. He received his BS from SMS and his MA from Missouri University. All the students at this Study Hall table seem to be concentrating very hard on their assignments, but you never know, appearances are some- times deceiving. Yes, that's the one! exclaims Bill Sanford to Mr. Scar- borough after searching in vain for an assigned reading book. Library students found a quiet atmosphere conducive to study and research or to leisurely reading in Greenwood's Library. The library, being continually enlarged, has over 4,100 books and 45 volumes of magazines which are available to students of every grade. Due to the expert advice and aid of our li- brarian, Mr. Scarborough, time spent search- ing for books was greatly reduced. Study hall also helped students to lessen the amount of homework taken home each night. ' Study hall seats were again assigned to make the library more orderly as well as a better place to Work. ln this way, each Greenwood student was given equal opportunity to discover for himself the pleasure and knowledge ac- quired frorn reading and study.

Art and shop projects After getting glue all over the table, John Cloud listens to his teacher, Mr. Payne, as he patiently explains how he is supposed to profit from this experience in Junior High Art. require dexterit Junior and senior high art students alike took part in many interesting projects. Art apprecia- tion, sketching, designing, and work with cer- amics were just a few of the educational en- deavors undertaken by the art students. Art is an elective for all seventh graders in the second semester. Aside from the usual wood- and metal-work- ing assignments, the lndustrial Arts class also undertook such projects as drafting, leather- craft, and mechanical drawings. These projects taught the class how to use their hands con- structively. Not only were they useful, but they were also fun to make. Industrial Arts is re- quired for the seventh and eighth grade boys and is a senior high elective.
