©F ilMOINIO lOGHIOOIL Preparing for the coming year, Pa- cific ' s faculty planned courses of study, re-worked lecture notes, and attempted to organize the chaos and confusion of school ' s opening. While busy de- signing bulletin boards, reopening their classrooms, and attending counseling meetings, they had to secure the nec- essary books and equipment from the student store or department heads. Pacific ' s faculty worked together to be- gin the fall term, and when school com- menced, confusion yielded to order. Above: With the coming of school, the library was cleaned ondstroightened, books werestacked and Janet Carter busily pasted information flaps in new books for the library. Right: Among the new teachers that met in the faculty work- room and M-2 for orientation meetings were Mrs. Sheridan, Mr. Kuiper, and Miss Wood. 25 Bicycles, Fords, Buicks, andafewsportscarsjammed the teachers ' parking lot the first day of the school year.

AFFILOIEO ARTI By demonstrating methods of artistic ex- pression, Pacific ' s art teachers endeavored to give pupils fuller and richer lives. The department created in students a familiarity with art mediums such as clay and paint. Since more than two-thirds of a person ' s life is spent in the home, home economics included seven subjects: child care, home nursing, preparation for marriage, manage- ment, clothing, and food. Several applied arts courses trained teen-agers for profes- sions such as engineering or medicine. To major in applied arts, one needed courses like commercial art, photography, home economics, choir, band or orchestra. The importance of off - campus performances was stressed, and there were numerous choral and orchestral programs; home- making students served atfaculty meetings, scholarship interviews, and social affairs. Photographic displays and architectural drafting contests animated student interest. Artisans, Future Homemakers of America, and other applied arts clubs aided the department. The Red Cross Home Nursing Kit, containing everything from a hospital bed to blankets and medical equipment, stayed on campus tor one quarter and then was used by other schools. Students who did well in Home Nursing received Red Cross certificates, allowing them to act as nurses in times of emergency. K 2. 26 i !
