TV ARTISTS HAD TO KEEP PHYSICALLY FIT Basketball, baseball, dodge-ball, volleyball, rhythmic dancing and calis- thenics were all a part of the girls' gym classes. The boys had a somewhat similar schedule. The two classes were held at the same time, but a sliding curtain separated the big gym into one unit for boys and one for girls. On the east side, Mrs. Kathleen Shaw's voice could be heard giving direc- tions, on the west side, Mr. Howard Wood coached his boys. At 2:30 the curtains were opened and another group took over. Sometimes it was wrestlers practicing on the mat, sometimes it was basketball boys patiently preparing for participation in scheduled competition.

INSTRUCTIONS IN DOMESTIC ARTS, FARM MAINTENANCE Miss Harriet Wilkenson ex- plained a fitting problem to Colleen Welch and Angelina Delofl. Mr, Dwight Cottingham helped Ag boys Tommy Alex- ander, Chester Freeland, Don Scott, and Harlan Gillespie. A large Home Economics department provided training in costume designing, classes in cooking, sewing, home management, and health. Ag boys learned more than how to judge vegetables, raise crops and feed stock. All the problems of farm maintenance, such as welding, building of furniture, and blacksmithing were included in their daily program. 22
