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

Art Department Anyone who has seen from day to day the Art case in the upper hall need not be told the merits of the Art Department. After looking at some of the displays and seeing the originality and talent embodied in many of the productions, one can easily imagine that, perhaps in the years to come, some of the struggling students will he famous art- ists and bring renown to their alma mater. The History of Art course, for the past few years somewhat of an experiment, is fast be- coming a favorite. It is now a recognized course in the high school curriculum. A com- bination of Ancient and Medieval History and Art, it strives to make history more in- teresting and to help students to a better understanding of it. ,lust as many persons give vent to their feelings through the power of music, so many others seek solace in art.
