The art department was known throughout the school for its contribu¬ tions to many activities. Here three Picassos put finishing touches on their latest creations. (Susan La Plante, Dan Cheyney, and Viki Woold¬ ridge). The place where those crazy kids exchanged ideas. The day class was so funny you laughed until tears rolled out of your eyes. The general grind of studies — writing themes, taking tests, memorizing iines — all these things make up your existence here at H.H.S. Often, these scenes are the ones completely overlooked by an annual staff, but this staff is different. The next four pages are devoted to classes in action. It doesn ' t matter if it ' s chemistry or physics, English or foreign lan¬ guage, music or art — all classes gave us learning experiences which we will retain as long as we live. You never can tell what you ' ll find. If I don ' t dig up that notebook. I ' m sunk.

VOCATIONAL SKILLQ AID STUDENTS FOR FUTURE JOHN NELLOR JOHN HIESTAND Vocational skills are more important to the world of business and skilled crafts¬ manship than a person might think . . . Someone may know the area of a trian¬ gle in a flash, but that person wouldn ' t get along well in business if they lacked typing and shorthand skills also. The same things hold true for auto mechanics, architects or future housewives. The Vo¬ cational department at Astoria High gives students a practical knowledge of these skills by applying skills in the class¬ room. This way students are better equipped to go into the world confident in the knowledge that they can begin work quickly because they know how to do it. VESTA LAMB NORA WILLIAMS
