Self Reliance Is Taught In The Home Arts. Even though a girl may find her career is not confined solely to the home, a working knowledge of home arts is useful in any career. The problems of taking care of herself and a home are met and overcome in the classes of the Homemaking Department. Sewing and millinery classes offer the student a chance to put her knowlekge of fabrics into practical use combined with her own touches of creativity. In the cooking classes, knowledge of food preparation and nutrition finds its way to the kitchen and provides the chefs with an opportunity to sample their gourmet delights. An interesting aspect of the department is that it offers a Boy’s Home Arts Course, proving that the stove and sewing machine no longer belong solely to the feminine domain. 25

For many industrial arts students, formal education ends with their graduation from high school. What they assimilated through four years of shop classes must become their working knowledge of technological background. Their teachers are faced with the task of giving them all the training they will need for the jobs they are to take tomorrow, and of teaching them safety so they may be assured of keeping their fingers and their eyes. It is a difficult task, but is accomplished every year. Amid lathes, blow torches, and drafting boards, the student is required to put both his hands and his mind to work. Since industry is the core of the world today, each student which the Industrial Arts department graduates becomes an important figure in today’s society. His knowledge, ingenuity, and skill become an important aspect of tomorrow’s industry. Develop Technical Skill 27
