Knowledge for the Future In times when food was always an expensive and sometimes a scarce commodity, modern homemakers needed to know how to do more than just cook. They also needed to know about economics, con- sumer information, and nutrition. This knowledge could be gained in school in two major ways: through the FHA (Future Homemakers of America) which met after school, and through H.E.R.O. (Home Economics Related Occupations), which was a two-period class. Through these organizations, the students learned not only about food, its wise purchase and preparation, but also about specialized care for young children and the elderly. The effects of this education may not have been felt at the time but will certainly be felt in the future. HERO:Sponsors: Lucille Loder, Marlene Frie. Members: S. Anderson, M. Aquilino, J. Babine, A.

That is where the Vocational and Industrial Clubs of America plus the Cooperative Education Association fit in. With VICA, the emphasis was on the vocational and the industrial. Students were trained and prepared for occupa- tions in different fields, notably cosmetology and auto mechanics. When their time wasn't spent building up to their careers, the members raised money to visit the International Hair Styling Show in New York. For those who preferred a white collar, though, COE was the place to be. Here, the goal was to assist the student into becom- ing a competent business employee. Work toward this objec- tive in budgeting time, organizing projects, and cooperating at work was stressed. The time spent after school and after work was filled by these students with work on the magazine drive and an Employer- Employee Appreciation Luncheon. Looking into the future was the main interest of the members of VICA and COE.

Katie Stafford, Elley Thompson Few people knew who published Chimera, The Lake Braddock literary magazine that was distributed to the entire student body after the Spring break. It came as a suprise that Ms. Gray and sixteen students devoted their afterschool time once or twice a week to review and edit contribu- tions of stories, poems, and art- work from students in grades seven through twelve. The Chimera staff received their funds from the county and the SGA which they us- ed to mail the magazine, free of charge, instead of selling it as they had in the past. As editor Leslie Brown stated, “Writing these stories is a good thing for the students to do.” The writings of these students helped make the community more aware of the students’ opinions, and Chimera turned these contributions into classics in the annals of LBSS literary history. Phot oqen ic Because of the many school ac- tivities, the Photography Club had a very busy year. The purpose of this club, as stated by President Dean Surette, was to “improve photography skills all around.” Members of the club were photographers from The Lair, and The Bear Facts, free-lance photographers, and plain photography enthusiasts. Ex- perienced photographers taught techniques such as developing film and flash photography pro- cedures. The Photography Club opened a studio where students could come with friends and have their pictures taken. The club charged 75 cents for five-by-sevens and up to two dollars for eight-by- tens. Part of these funds went towards new equipment as well as photography conventions in Washington. The club attended conventions at the Smithsonian in October and the D.C. Armory in December. The training received by the photographers quickly showed in the quality of their work and was a boon to the various publications to which they con- tributed. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB.
