Frequently our hall showcases display the stylish dresses the girls have made in sewing class. Here the girls are taught how to choose various types of materials and fashionable patterns and how to cut and sew these patterns. Included in the course are lessons in home management and child care. The emphasis is always on gracious living. ln cooking class the girls learn much more than the art ot cooking. They study nutrition, meal planning, and the making of a balanced diet. They learn table setting and service and the importance of cleanliness in the kitchen. The titty minute class period demands efficiency upon the part of the cooks and here, as well as in the home, time management is essential. ln all the practical arts courses the emphasis is always on applying the theory to the practice-to learn by doing. 30 Culinary craft Plone fczcfs A hem and gusset FINE ARTS!

The other half of the art department is under the supervision of Mr. Floyd Slater. Here the students learn to make mechanical drawings for future occupations in such careers as engineering, architecture, mechanics, and drafting.
