Mrs. Roach, the nurse, gives a few strepta- cocci a chase down Nancy Zigo’s throat. They got away, a rare occurrence, for we Butlerites are a well-cared-for-group. THELMA ROACH St. Joseph's Hospital, R. N. Home Making Promoted At Butler From the Home Ec. Department come delightful aromas, and sounds of sewing ma chines. There is hardly ever a quiet, peaceful moment. Under the direction of Mrs. Gill, Miss Onorato, and Mrs. Bottone, girls are pre- pared for all aspects of marriage. In clothing class, girls sew such items as skirts, blouses, suits, and even evening dresses. The climax to all this sewing comes in the spring fashion show, given for the girls of B. H. S. Within the kitchens of Rm. 301, young homemakers-of-tomorrow are trying out both new and old recipes. Their successful attempts arc often sampled with delight by the faculty. ELAINE BOTTONE Montclair S. C, B.A. Clothing Mrs. Gill, who is the Home Economics Depart- ment Chairman, gives a little practical help to a confused Freshman Arts students. Among the activities sponsored by the Home Ec. teachers this year under Mrs. Gill’s direction have been a number of panels to help advise the girls on homemaking and marriage, dating and party- giving.

CATHERINE M. CURTIS Douglass College, B.L. Librarian BEATRICE NICHOLS Paterson S. C, B.A. Assistant Librarian Miss Curtis is besieged by Butlerites in search of the Readers' Guide, a new best seller, last week’s copy of Life, or perhaps some paper clips. Experience Gained With « Lathes And T-Squares Our four industrial arts teachers at Butler High instruct many stu- dents in mechanical and architectural drawing, wood-working, printing, automotive shop, and metal work- ing. Mr. DiAngelis, department chairman, has upperclassmen in wood-working, and freshmen in the Freshman Arts program. Mr. Rick- man and his students print report cards, absentee and tardiness cards, and tickets to school dances. These men are definitely a large asset to our school. In many ways our in- dustrial arts department offers train- ing in a variety of fields that can later be utilized in trades and professions. GEORGE BOUGHTON Trenton S. C., B.S.

Business Skills The Business Department here at Butler is composed of five teachers whose main job is to turn out girls prepared for secretarial work. There are usually several graduates who go on to Katherine Gibbs, Berkeley, or some other fine secretarial school. Accounting and business practice are also an important aspect of the training offered by the department. Still another service is offered during the summer for the students whose Palmer method leaves some- thing to be desired — a six week course in typing which is of great value for term papers, weekly themes, and other long, formal work where neatness is of paramount importance.
