LARDIS f O ft £ W O ft D The 1940 Reedor is the fifth successive annual publication cf its kind for Adair High School, Pre- paredness means starting what needs to be done far enough in advance to get ahead of the unexpected as well as ahead cf what we knew is bound to claim our attention. It represents long hours of planning, typing, and extracurrciular experience for students. Y e have made a serious effort to obtain and assemble all interesting occasions and pictures that will add enjoyment to the memory of the studonts as they look over the past years. The general theme is built around military de- signs which coincide with out class colors, crimson and silver. We sincerely thank our teachers, and all others who aided in making this 1940 Reedor a success. The Class of 1940 Salutes Youtl The Staff Fart 1. 0 ? S ?! I tf G TECTIO S? -. rt 2. F A C TJ L T Y .

They have given us a fine school and just this year have inaugurated two new departments, the Agriculture and Home Economics. In this way the Senior class of 1940 wishes to show its deep appre- ciation; therefore, we shall dedicate this book to the parents of the cozr-unity.

Some high sch- ools with newly organized departments are offering one year of the work, maybe two. ButJ Wind you! we have three, and Composite Courses too. Composite courses in Home making Education have been found to be a definite stey fori ard in making our curriculum meet the needs of the stud- ents. No home life of any girl consists of foods one year, clothing another year, and etc, but the dally life of all is made up of soma activity in food work, some in clothing, some in child care- personality development, personal improvement and etc. Units consisting of elementary meal preparat- ion, elementary clothing and grooming, elementary child care, and etc. will provide class activities for fre3hmen more similar to their daily home life. Advanced work for seniors will be in keeping w.th the growth in maturity of the individual students. The Composite Course gives the whole picture of Home making rather than emphasizing any special phrase of thb work. This course is very advantageous for students who! want to 'take or who ai e forced to. take only one venr in Home making, rather than three. However, we are finding that students feel, that they cannot aff ord not to take the advanced courses; hence, the en- rollment as well as number of years of Home making offered are both increasing. m d tx 0: CE o; ® w ® o § man girL“°?hose°S g!i elated of the Fresh- Vivian DeMoss Wandalee Parker Vera Pern Reedy Louise Seymour Mary Cathorine Litchfield Norma Jean Ambrosius Roaalie Blansfiold The only equipment which had arrived at the ines Thrafi SCh°o1 year werc th® sowing mach- lnos.

HOME EC O’ UB This year, there was a great deal of Interest shown in our Home Making department and therefore it was agrofed by the girls to organize a club. Mrs. Wilson was to be our sponsor and tho following of- ficers were elected, pres.....................Dorthoa Allen V. 'res..................Gertrude Hammond Sec, Treas.............Hazel Seitz One of our most remembered social activities was in the form of a kid party or Leap Year party given by tho club to tho F.F.A. boyw.’ This wa3 our first party and it was enjoyed by all. For the month of February the Club sponsored a Mother-Daughter tea. It was given on Valentines1 day and the room in which the tea was given was ap- proplately decorated. Decorating and refreshment com- mittees were appointed and also hostesses. After the tea tho girls toured their mothers'through the new. department and the school building. During the year when the girls wanted new utensils the club would sponsor a food sale. Those wore all very successful. (Continued) In the late fall all of tho Homo Economic Clubs of the Stato hold their annual convention in Chicago at the Palmor House, ’.Ve sent two delegates, Fern Ebbert and Virginia Leo Horndon, This convention provod very oducatlonal and interesting, Y e hope in thr future years to bo always reprosonted at those conventions. For the next threo months wc had a special activity. In March the girls'served a board and faculty dinnor horo at the High School. They plannod every detail by thom- solvos. Reports woro that tho dinnor was a grand success, ’Ye carried out the idon of Easter in both tho menu .and table decorations. In Ppril, the club made a trip to inspect the Mac- omb Dairy. This we found to be quito interest ng. (By the way wo wore treated by the dairy to ico-cron.m cones,) Also in April the Club sponsored an 'damlocs donee in tho Gym. Refreshments of Punch, Wafers, ■ nd Sandwiches wore servod. In May tho CluY was 5nvitod to a style show, given by tho Iguva High School Home Making girls. It got to a point whore I had to get a haircut or a violin. The often married movie star thinks: A now gi oom swoops clean.

II CD DU® ffiO A d Editing the Roodor prosents the problem of com- piling an Interesting account of all occasions and happenings during the school year. I could not poss- ibly have succeeded in this task if it had not been for the untiring cooperation of the staff. We hope that our publication will meet and surpass the expect ation of the student body. .vs itor, i wish to thank the commercial depart ment, faculty, underclass staff members, and senior class fop their most valuable assistance. Though our task was large and hours long, the experience and pleasuro derived from it will be invaluable. I sincerely hope the 1940 Reodor creates an acc- urate and vivid picture of the past year to the stud- nts f A, c. H. S. and all others who may chanoo to inspect itts pages. We hope that any influence we have exerted upon underclassmen has been of the best and wo are opti- mistic concerning the 1941 Reedor because wo feel wo have the right to be. We hope that their forward march may be conducted with growing intelligence and wisdom.
