Shop, Ag., and Homemaking Arts “COME HERE, Mrs. Nelson, our stove’s on fire!” . . . “How come our cake’s flat: Can we throw it away and try again?” Such comments were heard in our food classes. Of course there was a cheer of glee as a perfect loaf of bread was pulled out or a delicious meal set on the table. Besides having fun, we did learn how to cook. CLOTHING CLASSES were not always easy. Many times they seemed quite hopeless, especially when the teacher said, “Take out the stitches and start all over.” But the reward was well worth the agony when wc wore our garment and said proudly, “I made it myself, in clothing.” HOMELIVING CLASSES WERE punctuated with lively conversations about dates, sex, manners, morals, boys, babies, and budgeting. Getting married, we decided, is not so easy as it appears. IN INDUSTRIAL ART classes, we sawed and hammered out articles for more gracious and comfortable living. Some made coffee tables and chests. Others put together stereophonic hi-fi sets and FM radios. In a changing world, the skills learned were bound to help meet the constant challenge for better-trained technicians. WE FUTURE FARMERS of America, the boys in the blue and gold jackets, analyzed soil, studied farm machinery, judged and dehorned cattle, and learned scientific methods for feeding the people of our nation. Besides this, we had fun. We went on field trips, highlighted by a visit to the Utah State Fair in September. Anita Andreasen, Carla Hendricks, and Sharon Olsen find that learning cooking skills is sometimes a slippery, gooey business. Foods classes made everything from tomato soup to jam. which they are preparing here. LAURA M IK KELSON — Clothing I and II. Sponsor fashion reviews, speech department costumes, graduation flowers.

All boys enrolled in this class took a nine-week course in drafting at the first of the school year W hen Mr. Cornaby says, “hoe, hoe, hoe,” to these Ag. boys, it is no laughing matter. The boys are part of the group who, under Mr. Cornaby’s direction, is replanting lawn behind the school near the biology pond. The lawn was removed from the area where the new “D” wing is beiny constructed and, placed at the location which it was, it added considerably to the appearance of the campus.

The pep band played at most of the home football and basketball games during the year. WE HAD FUN in our A Cappella class. We learned many different kinds of songs: Christmas carols, popular ballads, classical tone poems, Broadway hits, and others. Our class presented numerous programs for other schools as well as our own. On the days when we were on a program, the girls wore black shift dresses and the boys their white jackets with black trousers. DURING FOURTH PERIOD we members of the Band class filled the halls of C Wing with musical reverberations from sounds of our instruments. We participated in parades, concerts, and assemblies, as well as in competitive contests with other schools. When the weather was nice we often practiced marching outside, where we were drilled in the art of turning corners and keeping our lines straight. When we received top ratings at state and region festivals, our many hours of practice were rewarded. LEARNING HOW to keep time, to read music, to recognize key signatures, and to sing were some of the things we were taught in our Music Theory and Appreciation class. Mr. Barker, whose exuberant personality added a light touch to the more serious aspects of musical theory, was our advisor. By the end of the year, we knew ways of expressing through music our thoughts and feelings such as happiness, sadness, and love. —22—
