CITIZENS FOR A BETTER TOMORROW Some say that sewing is drudgery, but Frances Wyne makes it look as if it might even be fun. Vocational training courses occupy a prominent part in the curriculum at Auburn High School. Because of the exceptionally high standards and the excellent teaching methods that are employed throughout each course, many vocational students are able to embark on a successful career immediately upon graduating. Secretarial and clerical students, having the most modern equipment at their disposal, are able to pre- pare themselves very suitably for any position that may require a knowledge of shorthand, bookkeeping, or typing. Manual training students, also provided with the finest modern equipment, learn the most efficient methods in drafting and wood or metal-working. Home economics students, by studying the many diversified subjects that are of interest to the modern woman, learn how to manage a successful household. -l • I • i ■ ii- Linda Dixon, Jerry Akers, and Barb Armstrong are put- Shop students gain mechanical experience and achieve .- .1 • 1 1 j r 1 - 1 1 - ,i-n; j.„ .,.,,. .

ELECTIVES BALANCE OUT OUR COURSES Here are four talented members of Miss Riggs ' s unique inverted ballet class. Executing this incomparably grace- ful pas de deux are Miles. Karen Close, Beryl Jeakle, Sue Jones, Virginia Coffin, and (oops!) Janet Mclnturf. The classroom routine of our regular subjects was broken by the casual atmosphere of physical education classes. Miss Riggs had charge of the girls ' classes, while Mr. Piatt and Mr. Showalter were the boys ' in- structors. The feminine program included such sports as: Softball, volleyball, tumbling, basketball, calisthen- ics, dodge ball, and trampoline. The boys participat- ed in similar activities along with wrestling and baseball. Drivers ' education, taught by Mr. Piatt and Mr. Sho- walter, was confined to the classroom during the winter months although the students received driving exper- ience in the summer.
