The HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT was able to offer a more comprehensive, expanded program this year to the homemaking stu- dents because ot the opening of a larger, modernized Ludden Hall. Two new features of the program were a play school and a course in outdoor cooking and entertaining. ln the play school, which contained playground equipment, twenty-tive girls observed six or eight small children in order to gain experience for baby-sitting and a greater understanding of their brothers and sisters. In addition, the usual courses in foods and clothing were offered. ,,,j,w,- al 44' V ejy,Qt6il.,ll'l ' E ROW l, left to right: Helen M. Bulla, A.B., M.A.g Gwen Teague, A.B.g Velma M.

The main objective oi the BOYS' P.E. DEPARTMENT was to develop sports- manship, proper attitudes, personal cleanliness, and a fundamental knowledge of basic skills in a variety oi P.E. activities. Proper health habits and mental hygiene were stressed in health classes. Two new A.A.U.-approved activities, wrestling and tumbling, were offered to freshmen, and two special rooms in the new gym were used for these activities. Co-educational golf and tennis were open exclusively to seniors. The GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT for 1955-56 comprised nine teachers who worked together to offer a worth-while program of individual or team sports. Under the California school code, physical education is a require- ment tor graduation: so a wide variety of activities were offered to appeal to all girls' interests and abilities. Along with the opening of the new gym, a grading system was inaugurated with report cards coming out every six weeks instead of every nine.

dt the Aer ice The primary job of the MAINTE- NANCE CREW was the general up- ke-ep of the buses. Crew members had such tasks as bus washing and mechanical service. The tire crew had the job of checking and keep- ing the tires in good condition at all times. The paint and glass men paint- ed the buses, and repaired the floor- ing, upholstery, and broken windows.

BHS had waited a long time for the beautiful new CAl:'ETERIAp so this year about 3,000 students daily took advantage of its opening, enjoying snacks and meals from the modern facilities. As there was no longer a cafeteria annex, the task of carrying hot trays across the campus was eliminated. For more con- venience, the student store and snack bar were built adjoining the cafeteria. The staff included twenty-four full-time personnel and five part-time workers, as well as sixty student helpers. Custodians kept the cafeteria always in top condi- tion for the use of the school, as an increasing number of social functions, such as banquets and dances, were also held there.
