These subjects provide plenty of hard work and studying, but the students really learn the fundaf mentals.

To become eligible for this program, students must be seniors or post-graduate students and must be l6 years of age or older. Scouts Pillars of juvenile society are Girl and Boy Scouts.

EDUCATION Agriculture Future citizens of Americal This title can well rest on the boys who belong to FFA. The agriculture classes prove that not all corn is raised by Jack Benny or Bob Hope. Corn is only one crop that these boys are learning to raise. ln the future they will plant, grow, and harvest these crops. They also learn modern methods of milking, shear- ing sheep, raising chickens. and running a farm in a scientific and economical way. Home Management Accomplishments in home man- agement are aims of senior high girls taking this course under the direction of Miss Marjorie Brok- ken. Young femmes learn cooking, knitting, and sewing which will prove useful to them in future years. They design their own clothes a la Paris trhymes with Mariel. Modeling their clothes some afternoons makes the home management room look like a Hat- tie Carnegie salon. Igva llillil, 41.1117 she bake . .

Junior Shop Have you ever tried making a bookcase? Do you know what it involves? Beginning carpenters go through it step-by-step. First, they read how a bookcase is constructed. They learn about hoard feet and kinds of wood. A bunch of 4'greeny carpenters, they make their own plans or scale drawings for their bookcases. This takes time and ingenuity. lf they know anything about wood carv- ing, they can include that in their drawing. After plans are complet- ed, elementary work heginsf-the sawing, Htting, and fastening to- gether of the pieces. Finally comes the sandpapering. This is followed by varnishing, waxing, painting or shellackingf all different ways of finishing wood, All completed, the Hnished product is ready and waiting to be taken home. These projects are often displayed in showcases dur- ing the year. iVlAY lilillal iYlAli3 llfs Inns! lrremf lL'17ll1lfI7vl lmott' htm. 13
