Wth a curriculum composed of Wardrobe Planning, Tumbling, Psy- chology, Recordkeeping, Geography, Health, Electricity, Russian, Salesman- ship, Driver Education, Theory and Harmony, Photography, and Econom- ics, along with the more common courses in Mathematics, English, His- tory, Science, Fine Arts, Physical Edu- cation, Drama, Business Education, In- dustrial Arts, and Languages, it is little wonder that students have a problem in choosing just the ones they think are most suitable for their abilities and ambitions. 1. Laura Williams, a student in advanced Home Economics, is intent on practicing the finer details of sewing. 2.In his Harmony and Theory class, Mr. Bird delves into the intricacies of secondary dominants. 3. Mr. Cochran, whether it be Metals or Crafts classes, never fails to give individual at- tention to his students who are interested in either of these two fields. 4. Through the doorway of room 127 can usually be seen the familiar sight of Mr. Dunlap lecturing to his students on some of the finer points of American History. 5. Bill Hazelett finds a moment or two to re- fresh his memory and review some notes for an upcoming test. 6. Drama must be the topic of conversation when two teachers of dramatics, Miss Ful- ton and Miss Gideon, get together for a few minutes. 7. Who says that a teacher has a free per- iod? Here Mr. Craig disputes this idea by showing what many find it necessary to do during that time . . . grade papers, pre- pare tests, and tend to the many other tasks that go along with regular classroom chores.
