The boys are taught about dairying and dairy iudging and are taught about the care and value of all livestock and meat processing. These boys also study soil, how to use power tools and learn how to manage money and parliamentary procedure. The Vocational Agriculture boys learn through field trips, class work, and proiects. They show their talents and how much they have learned by entering contests. At Aldine High School, boys are able to take three years of Vo- cational Agriculture. Mr. Donald Parker teaches the first year boys while Mr. Jack Wilson teaches the second and third year boys. Mr. Wilson shows his class a needle and demonstrates the way to use it.

Students Prepare for Future III Cosmetolog In the four years that the Cosmetology depart- ment has been established, it has grown rapidly as a vocational course. This is due to the great interest displayed by the girls at Aldine in Cos- metology as a future. This two year course enables its students to be- come beauticians of skill and knowledge. All the basic techniques for professional beauticians are taught in this class, such as, hair styling, scalp manipulations, manicures, and facials. One of the new additions added to the Cosme- tology department this year is the proiector and film from the Clairol company. This phase of teach- ing enables girls to get a diploma in the field of hair coloring while they are in high school. This eliminates the necessity of having to attend a beau- ty school after graduation. Mrs. Dorothy Jackowski has been the Cosme- tology teacher at Aldine for two years. This year there are 47 girls taking this course. One of the outstanding girls who has achieved honor in the field of Cosmetology is Linda Taylor, who is Dis- trict Secretary.
