As each day goes by our country becomes more mech- anized. The need for skilled tradesmen is being met by our vocational department. The basic rules of mechanics, elec- tronics, machine shop, and industrial arts are taught by the instructors. During the spring members of the classes compete for honors in the Future Tradesmen of Arkansas' convention. In auto mechanics junior and senior boys repair and overhaul cars belonging to students, teachers, and outsiders. The draftsmen being trained in our mechanical drawing department will someday be among the architect and engineers of our changing world. ln the mechanical drawing department ideas are placed on paper for the workmen. Each blue print must be perfect. The electronics department trains the boys in radio and related repair work. Each student knows the fundamentals of elec- tricity when he completes the course. lnto the hands of these young people will fall the responsibility for the mechanics, electrical engineering, and crafts of tomor- row. 1 Larry Rice tunes the carburetor of a '57 Ford in Auto Mechanics.

Homemakin Tomorrow's Homemakers Learn How Today A fashion designer's dream? Maybe, could be the answer. Out of North Little Roek's homemaking department come future seamstresses and cooks. With the addition of new machines and dinette sets, the homemaking department has kept pace with the changing times. Along with cooking and sewing a related unit of child care, home decorating, home nursing, and home entertainment is taught. Approximately 80 girls elected to take second year home economics. Around l95 girls are enrolled in first year home ec. Each home ec. student is required to complete four minor or three major home projects during the year. The student chooses the project from different fields of home- making and does the work at home. The girls learn much by experience. Seams are taken out and redone until they are perfect--or nearly so. Pies and rolls are made at home, reports are written and signed by parents. Each girl learns to distinguish com- plementary colors and to arrange rooms to best utilize space and furnishings. A course in home economics at NLRHS teaches a girl the skills needed to be a competent homemaker. Pat Daniels, Becky Gentry, and Judy Jackson decorate the home ec. living room for Christmas ---putt of the lesson on home decorating. A ,Q , E111 r l'o stir a fine stew and sew a fine seam are what homemaking students like Betty Gail Wood and Linda Duncan learn. The feeding and care of infants becomes an interesting pro ject in the lesson on child care---Lynn l-larvell plays the baby, Natalie Mirontschuk and Sandra Grizzle her concerne parents.

Physical Education Builds for Physical Fitness Building both the bodies and morals of the students of NLRHS are the physical education classes. Never a dull moment in the classes from the roll call to that satisfying shower. Boys' phys. ed. begins with 15 minutes of exercises which is followed by such endur- ance-testing games as dodge ball and rough ball. Also included on an average week's agenda are wrestling, boxing, track running, and peeking through cracks in the partition. Girls' P. E. includes folk dancing, soft- ball games, volleyball, ping-pong games , shuffleboard, and basketball. ln an average week these young misses dance the Teton Mountain Stomp, Put Your Little Foot, and Kora Buska. They will play dodge ball, will jump on the trampolin, and will do various acrobatics. These physical education classes help to develop youth in such a way as to help him cope with his fellow man through group partic- ipation. And then of course there is its benefit physically. . .
