What is home without a homemaker? Though not attempting to answer this puzz- ling riddle, the home economics department of Springfield High School does its best to make the riddle itself unnecessary. From its classes come efficient and gracious future homemakers. ,lustly proud of this department is every- one connected with it. S.I'I.S. is one of the pioneers of the state in offering such mul- tiple-unit courses as Homemaking 91 and 92- courses which have aroused interest in many other communities. To stimulate a general interest in the Inany problems of the home and to develop knowledge and skills that will help in their solution is its aim. Training girls to an ap- preciation of happy home life and an under- standing of the factors that contribute to it gives them desire to become more worthy members of their own family groups, thus bringing the present into the picture. Calling all astrologers, crystal-gazers, palmists, and tea-leaf readers, one could ask what the future holds for homemakers. A seer, star-gazing, might see contented hus- bands, frictionless families, joyous homes, and charming wives-all resulting from just such home economics courses as this. How civilization progresses! Miss Van Gilderis 121 Home management class Twenty-three

Music Department Mr. Sauer leading the orchestra uThere's something in the air, tum te tumwg our building just hums with animation. Per- haps it's the modern swing music from the chorus rooms that inspires the furnace to umake it hotw for us. In soothing such a rampage what could be more effective than the dulcet tones of the A Cappella Choir? In a knowledge-seeking mood it could drop in on a class of music history and apprecia- tion in a deep discussion of Bach and Beetho- ven. Marching to the syncopation of the band, faren't they proud and comfortable in their new quarters?J it would return to its place. Not forgetting our illustrious orches- tra stranded in Central, have you ever known a time when its members were not prepar- ing, giving, or reaping congratulations from a concert? But seriously speaking new life has been injected into this department. All these changes in courses and materials have been made with these goals in mind: To create a love of good music in all students, to give a foundation for intelligent listening for all types of music, to develop a cultural back- ground, and to discover and develop individ- ual talent. Yes siree, it's this department that keeps perennial spring with us! Twenty -two FRANCES CHATBURN Director of Vocal Music.
