Maribeth Forrer works with confidence as she completes her sewing prolect in Vocation al Cou rses Homemaking is a vital part of every girl's future. Highlanders participating in home economic courses learn skills and Techniques that are invaluable for an efficiently-run household. Baking and cooking produce tantalizing aromas that fill the V school whether the finished' products are cnocolate chip cookies or exotic foreign dishes. Al- though it can be a tedious, time-consuming task, cloth- ing construction in sewing class results in feelings of pride and satisfaction as the novice seamstress mo- dels her finished apparel. Managing a family and a home includes many other responsibilities. Tact and understanding must be used so as to produce harmony among the household mem- bers. Home nursing, child care, and menu planning all add to the chores of the homemaker. Interior dec- orating and budgeting are usually a ioint effort on the part of the wife and husband so these are among the topics discussed by students taking family living. Open to seniors, this course provides a background that will prepare them for their future homes. Mrs. Wean inspects the work done by soph- omore home-ec. student Janice Carter.

Out Hidden Talents Fine art courses are available to Highlanders with abilities in that field. From the fundamentals to ad- vanced techniques, these students receive guidance and encouragement as they master procedures. Modeling clay is transformed into clever ash Trays by beginners and into beautiful sculptures by ad- vanced students. Painting in oils, melted crayon, and water colors produces an array of colorful canvasses. Pencil sketches, usually completed outside of class, provided ideas of the proposed pictures. Otis Brown took first place in one of the highlights of the year, the Madison County United Fund Poster Contest. His winning poster was enlarged and dis- played for a month on a billboard in Anderson. Highland's vocal music department offers choir, chorus, and music appreciation to interested students. Those who prefer to play an instrument became mem- bers of the Marching Highlanders, the school band. All of these departments have given Highland great pride and recognition which is well-deserved. Randy Rawlings puts the final touch on his sculpture of Abraham Lincoln. Mrs. Peggy Richards admires the work of Otis Brown, winne S--5 mm AV E sss s .X S r VAS 5
