ART, AND WOOD WORK PROVIDE FOR FUTURE TRADES Students in the Art department often found it difficult to find time to do their own work, for they were kept busy making posters, signs, and decora- tions for other classes and organizations. But in addition to these valuable services, many lovely paintings were com- pleted and other artistic proiects undertaken under the guidance of Mrs. Faye Nelson. Saws and other machinery hummed busily most of the day in the basement workshop, supervised by Mr. Kenneth Hayes, new to the school this year. Besides making things for themselves, the boys performed odd maintenance iobs for the school. gill! Lett to right: John Pacala, Vivian Alexander, Mrs. Faye Nelson, Marilyn Phillips, Phyl- lis Morton.

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

T ,-, ' o .4 U, x -.1 0 -F.. THE NEWSPAPER STAFF MET DEADLINES Room 206 was one of the busiest, happiest and noisiest rooms in the building. Spotlight and Keyhole staffs shared a totally inadequate small room with English iV classes. Something was always getting lost, good-natured heckling and arguments went on constantly, but a great deal was learned about running a business, working on one's own initiative, getting along with other people, meeting a deadline, and accepting responsibility for one's mistakes. 24 FIRST SEMESTER STAFF Standing: Ronald Faulk- ner, ancl Mrs. Kathleen Keilman, Advisor.
