Cook, Sew, T pe . . . ll Part Of Came Of Life . . . Specialized skills are a must for todays modern, liberal- ized woman. She is a combination of skills. One set of these are those of a homemaker. With this in mind Madonna has made two courses available in Home Economics. Even if you're not CoCo Chanel, every family's needs include some- thing in the line of sewing. And especially if you are a Peg Bracken, Home Economics, sewing, and cooking, is very ben- eficial. Domesticity is a career that demands infinite knowl- edge and ability. Ranging from health to interior decorating, Home Economics provides practical lessons needed in every- day life. Common diseases, their causes and cures are in- cluded in health. Interior decorating explains fabric and color scheme patterns for beautifying a home. But as times keep changing, a professional vocation be- comes more important for a woman. She has to be trained and experienced in her field in order to exist in our fast- paced world. Shorthand and typing are the beginnings for a business career. A chance to become familiar with busi- ness machines is also obtainable at Madonna. The whole person is considered at Madonna, from her maternal in- stincts to her business needs. sms . ix x x ,XX R 5 . .ext Q., .fs is Niwwwwwwi 'ffafffgy Mrs. Meyer gives a lesson in Business Education. ,th 1 +5 ,K ..k.

1, 4 Bach, lifiertffr, Bench, We Are ot, But . . . At vvhat point does talent end and dedication begin? Is it the miracle of the gift of talent thatproduces a Menu Lisa, a perfectly sting song, or a winning basketball team? No, not entirely, for Without that driving force called dedi- cation, talent is merely a dream. That is why the Art, Music and Physical Education departments have been established. 'I'he art room is Madcnnffs student gallery, the home of those striving to straighten out the rough edges of their own masterpieces. 'I'he music may be from a Broadway show, a rock opera or Beethovens 5th symphony, but the soul reaching effects are the same. Our emotions speak through music. When you hear the dribble of a basketball or the sound of a vvindsvvept birdie, then you can be sure that gym classes are in session. A Physical Education course yvon't make you a world famed athlete but it will make you feel good. After the last song, masterpiece and game, talent be- comes a reflection for millions. , n ....1.....,t,.. its-sg 3 5 -- U1 N I g V . . - f' Y. , N.-2' at Ns W sg gi X X N filet N SSP..
