Skills Acquired u Oh that makes me hungry, mur¬ mur students as they catch whiffs of mouth-watering aromas drifting from the home economics kitchen. Busy stu¬ dents, under the guidance of Mrs. Thomas, have been learning practical skills of cooking, budgeting, and menu planning. When not cooking, the girls are taught techniques in sewing. Accord¬ ing to their ability, projects such as tailored coats, skirts, slacks, and aprons have been completed for wear¬ ing. Patricia Thomas.

Know YotirNeighbor Latin, and American problems teacher, Carl Carlson, R. A., enjoys reading and gardening. He advises the Latin Club and the senior class. Another Astoria High alumnus is Leon Erickson, B.A., who teaches French and Spanish, and also advises these two lan¬ guage clubs. Mr. Carlson clarifies Latin verbs and their infinitives for first year language students. There is a Spanish proverb which says. “He who would understand his neighbors must put his head into their house.” This is true of language study. In a world which knows no national boundaries today, the study of the cul¬ tures and languages of countries other than our own has become increasingly important. Aware of this importance, Astoria High offers courses in French, Span¬ ish. and basic Latin. Many of our students are taking the two-year program as it has been recommended for those planning to go on to college.
