SCHOOL SCENES In home nursing we acquire a practical knowledge of home and personal hygiene, the principles of sanitation, and the first steps in nursing. This class was added to the regular health-education course as another contribution to our war effort. A Spanish class was organized the second six-weeks period for those students who had some Latin and wished to study a romance language. Patriotic and historical dolls and war posters were special projects of the art class this year. The course in blueprint reading, which began the second six weeks, was planned to teach the language of designers and draftsmen. Work- men and mechanics, to be efficient, must be able to read the prints as readily as they read a book. Page Twelve

Anderson, H. Brown, and G. Swisher were on the Comet staff. In October of our Junior year we selected our class rings, which made grand Christ- mas presents. In March we presented Sixteen in August , our first attempt at dra- matics. Just ask those who saw it and they ' ll tell you it was a success! Brickley, Cline, Heiniger, Kunkel, Masterson, and Shafer were taken into the National Honor Society in April. In May we did a little transforming and moved the gym to South America for the Junior-Senior Reception. We placed the most intriguing monkeys in the student- made palm trees! At the end of the year the major staff of the Retrospect was an- nounced. (Continued on Page 24) Page Fourteen
