Sawdust and flour—creativity reigns. Spatulas, beaters, and cook- books formed a kaleidescope of fun in Home Ec. Christmas trees decorated with school-made cookies, and food prepared for vis- iting teachers kept students in Boy’s Chef and Foods on their toes. Home Management created dream houses from magazines, and learned budgeting and family planning. Mrs. Cynthia Schensnol added knowledge with up-to-date information about new tech- niques. Shop classes for both boys and girls helped students to cut Christmas costs by making their own presents. Aided by Mr. For- tin, tables, bars, and chests were precisely manufactured. Minor ac- cidents were overshadowed by smiling faces covered with saw- dust as they proudly climbed the stairs, clutching their finished products.

Students spent many long, hard hours laboring over every small detail until they attained perfection in their crea- tions. Art II classes worked with clay and paper mache to create 3- dimensional artwork. Sister Ve- ronica’s room was cluttered with statues, sketches, and mobiles, the handiwork of many Feehanites down through the years. Precision and creativity com- bined in Mechanical Drawing classes as students designed fu- ture buildings. T-squares, folders and No. 2 pencils made daily trips to the third floor to begin work on home and industrial plans.
