Stage and Urge nizotsiens O n e of the improvements which the new building will bring to Pettisville is improved stage facilities. The present stage is too small to allow for adequate lspace behind the scenes for Lmov- ing about and for arranging off- s t a g e effects of scenes and lighting. The new stage. 50 by 20 feet. will be entirely ade- quate. Equip ent f o r special lighting effects will add greatly to stage productions. Another improvement we have planned is stage dressing rooms lwhich will not be used for aths letlc events- These rooms will 19 have storage space for make-up and s m a 1 l stage properties, dressing tsbles,adequate mirrors, and closets for hanging costumes. Our community is organizing into more and more groups all the time: and many of these groups. such as the Mothers' Group, Amer- ican Legion, and 4-H Clubs, find it convenient to have their meet- ings in the school building. In our present building we do not hrve a very convenient place to have these groups meet, so we have planned rooms for them in our idevl system. The space above the lobby on Track A track team was organized this spring. The team was fairly successful and won several local meets. They placed third in the county meet. The team entered the Devil- biss and Bowling Green meets in addition to local meets. Standing: Clyde J.

Dale Robinson, Loyal Rupp. t h e second floor of the new building has been reserved for these rooms. The space wiill be divided by a telescoping wall so that two groups may meet at once if necessary, or it can be thrown into one room for a large group. Another advantage of this room is the fact that it can be opened when school is not in ses- sion without opening the rest of the building. The room will be available for any club or group from the community who wishes to use it either during school months or during the summer. The Lariat, 1946

In addition to the three senior high cheerleaders this year. junior high cheerleaders were elected again since a junior high team was organized.

Boosters The booster committee helped k e e p the team's spirits high by making clever favors for them for each game. Besides that, whenever them heard someone suggest giving t h e boys e feed they were always on the Job to prepare the food and decorate the tables. They share our teem's success in e very definite way. Standing: Marilyn Haskell, Jay Krauss, Barbara Firstt Stated: Betty Raker. Betty Burkholder. I l v a Rxpp. Joan Lelninger, Stanley Zeigler. T7

Hollis E C 0110 mic? S In this community most girls get much practical training in home economics at home from their mothers. However, most of them seem to want n o r e scientific training in home economics. Since it is so popular with the girls and since our present home economics department is much too crowded a n d inadequately equipped, we have planned an en- tirely new department in our new plan. It will be located in the new building. The hone economics sewing room will be on the second floor of the building in the ex- treme northeast corner. Here we h a v e planned a modern sewing room. It will be equipped with modern electric sewing machines and all other necessary sewing gadgets. M u ohh cupboard space will be needed to store supplies so cupboards will be built along one entire side. Sewing s t u- dents will need mirrors to see themselves in what they make so sets of mirrors will be built in- to each three of these cupboard doors. the two outer ones opening to form a U with the third. A fitting room, essential to a sew- ing department, will be built in- to one corner of the storage room The Lariat, 1946 and opening into the sewing room. CTh1s is not shown on the floor p1an.j We consider these plans ideal for future seamstresses. The cooking laboratory will be on the first floor elong the north wall. Four kitchen units will be installed along the south side o f' the room. They will give cooking students definite kitchen experience since e a c h will actually be a small kitchen. The home economics classroom will be in this room opposite the kitchen units. Another big item in this de- partment will be a model home le- the cated on the first floor in northeast corner of. this build- ing. These rooms will be equipped just like a home, and it will give girls a chance to l e a r n every phase of housekeeping, even cleaning. Two girls will be as- signed to live in this model home for possibly a week at a t 1 m e with their teacher and do all the cleaning, laundry, and cooking for themselves. , A kitchen and laundry and a dining room will be built in the space next to the cooking labora- tory. The kitchen and laundry unit will be built in an L-shape around t h e dining room. The kitchen will have all the modern kitchen devices for efficiency and practical training. The laundry will h a v e a washer, flatiron. ironer, dryer, and built-in ironing board. The rest of the model home will also be on the first floor across the corridor and below the sewing room. There will be a large living room. two bedrooms, and a bathrosm. One of the beds rooms is smell and will have a single bed for the use of the teacher. The larger bedroom will have twin beds and will be used by the girls during the week they are living in the h o m e. A linen closet will open into the small hall and be easily access- albe to bedrooms and bath. The entire model home will be furnished in modern furniture of the functional variety because it is easier to clean. The home economics depart- ment as planned is considerably more extensive than the present one, but we feel that in a rural community such as this,homemaking is very important and needs much attention. So in our ideal sys. tem we have carefully planned this department and we hope to see it realized soi tlme. 19
