The Home Economics Department was an area of change with the addition of a new course of study. The students selected four out of six areas to examine. Each of these four areas was then con- centrated upon for one quarter. Some of the choices included: sewing, foods, family living, meal plan- ning, child development, and home furnishings. The Business Education Department provided training for students preparing to enter the business world, as well as for those intending to study busi- ness on a post high school level. Some courses such as Typing and Bookkeeping proved beneficial to the individual student for his own personal use. Students also benefited from new, updated books in General Business and Business Law. The Industrial Arts Department instructed those students aimed toward occupations requiring skill and ingenuity. Students had nine week alternations between classroom and shop. Some areas studied consisted of carpentry, sheet metal, mechanical drawing, and welding. Vocational Agriculture also included shop work in addition to classroom activities. Students ex- amined such areas as animal science, agricultural mechanics, crop and soil science, farm management, and agricultural occupation employment experience. The Vocational Agriculture Program was designed for students entering directly into farming, as well as those planning to enter an agriculturally related business. This was the second year girls have been able to participate in this program. VVhen asked if she felt her experience was worthwhile, Vicki Templeman commented, Vocational Agriculture is worthwhile in preparing a girl for a future life on the farm, and if she is not aimed toward the farm, it is also a very good background for other jobsf, EG f, al .1 . i Y i
