HIVE 1 1 f f 4140 STUDENTS FORM HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT TAKE PRIDE IN THE-IR WORK By June Hebert In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, but a young 1ady's turns to thoughts of fashions, and these three Y0L1ILg misses are no ex- ception. They are Joel Baby- lon, Marilyn Krider, and Merle Robichaux, and they seem quite pleased with the dresses they are modeling. are wearing smart They teen-age styles with the new '52 flair, which seems to have very popular with J become the school crowds. These dresses were made by the girls as part of their project for Advanced Clothing. On other pages of this is- sue of the Bee Hive can be seen members of the Junio: High Homemaking class and the projects they constructed as part of their program. These fashion wise girls have made the very popular flared -- skirts which can be worn quite well with their simple blouses made from cool -coittons. However, two of the girls seem to have their minds on cooking, and they are displaying the easy to make aprons, which often come in handy. Preparing a balanced meal plays an important in the Advanced Foods class, but even a well balanced meal always tastes better if it is served on an attractively arranged table. Muriel Chico, Marcella Borcherding, Marilyn Thomp- son, and Betty Lannes are pictured setting a 'table for a buffet luncheon. These girls participated in the table setting contest recently sponsored by Maison Blanche of New Orleans. ' The Senior High. Advanced Foods class is under the direction of Miss Ruth Thalheim. Mrs. Pat Lyons Harvey teaches Advanced Clothing to the Senior High students. The Junior High Homemaking class is taught by Miss Julia Dauenhauer.

1 1 1 f 1 .ly-NE I 2-52 1952 MARKS GRADUATION OF SECONJD GENERATION PUPILS By Janet Saleeby Behrman Alumnae Cathe- A ' rine North Patai, Class of February '32 and Ione Le Blanc Courtney, Class of Jan- uary '33, will find the gradua- tion exercises this June an ex- tremely happy occasion and one for reminiscence, They are to witness the graduations of their respective children, Frank Patai and Lorraine Courtney, in the very same auditorium in which they received their diplomas two decades ago. We at Behrman find this as proud an occasion as the Courtneys and Patais do, for Frank and Lorraine are the very first second-generation graduates of Behrman High! Mrs. Patai was a member of the first Behrman graduating cla-ss. She was one of a class of 9, only one of which was a boy. Behrman has really grown since then. Frank's Class numbers 84, 27 of which are boys. Y A When Mrs. Patai received herqdiploma, Behrman School was but a lyear- old infant and as yet had made no progress in the development of extra-curricular activities. The majority of Behrman's first graduates, including Mrs. Patai, re- ceived commercial diplomas. They had completed a regular business course in- cluding typing and shorthand. Frank, her son, is preparing for his future by doing part-time work with his father in the fields of radio and television. Mrs. Courtney also received a commercial diploma. Her treasured copy of the January '33 BEHRMAN BUZZ, the predecessor of our BEE HIVE, is proof of the fact that Behrmarr was in full swing at that time. Mrs. Courtney wasamember of the Loyalty Club, similar to our Boosters, the Glee Club and the Buzz staff. Lorraine, following in her mother's footsteps, has shown active school spirit, and has worked particularly hard with the Behrman Band. At present She is trying to choose between a career as an elementary teacher and one in the business world. ' Yes, the Patais and Courtneys have started something which will soon be commonplace at Behrman High. More and more Behrman students will receive diplomas from their parents, alma mater. They are laughing and talking and rushing through the very same halls that their parents trod a generation ago. Behrman is at the top of the list of New Orleans High schools, for she has kept in step with changing trends. Yet more and more mellow tradition is creeping with age into Behrman to make her more endearing to those of us who must leavc her. To both Catherine North Patai and lone Le Blanc Courtney we say Con- gratulationsln Behrman ,is proud to number you and your children among its graduates. 34'
