Departments Home Economics The home economics course, under the supervision of Miss Sale, provides a means by which girls may study such subjects as dietetics, food, clothing, home nursing, home management and household chemistry. The students taking this course have cafeteria every school day for the convenience of teachers and students. The department exhibits their 4-H work at the Bluffton fair in September. Safety Safety in all its phases—in the home, on the farm, on the road, or in the factory—is stressed in the safety classes conducted by Mr. Bolander, Mr. Ulmer, and Mr. Woodruff. The purpose of the safety course, which covers one semester, is to create safety consciousness in the students. Members of the class take great interest in creating safety posters and composing safety slogans. Agriculture Boys interested in agriculture enroll in the Vocational Agriculture course. The prescribed classroom study includes cattle breeding, dairying, farm crops, farm management, and horticulture. In addition to these studies, the boys do other interesting work. During the year they took up pruning and cattle judging. They also took field trips and obtained first hand information on practical farm problems. Mr. Blair is the agriculture instructor. Health Education Health education combines gymnasium work and class work to build a well-rounded physical education course. Basketball, baseball, volleyball, and other sports are taken up in gymnasium and in the classroom the human body is studied from a scientific standpoint. Mr. Larmore oversees boys making their own furniture. Art class gives anything from portrait painting to rug-weaving—true medium for self-ex¬ pression . . . No lead biscuits in this cafeteria . . . Future farmers of America—they learn what to plant and when . . . Mr. Woodruff tells his safety class to “Lose a minute and save a life.”
