Gary Culler is drawing the details of the Christmas scene of the shepherds as they prepare to go into Bethleham. Learn the Tricks of the Trades The newly organized Art Department of Butler High has proved very educational to everyone with the bulletin board drawings such as the religious Christmas Scene and has given our artists a chance to show their talents. The Homemaking Department has been equipped with mo- dern appliances and other accessories. The girls not only learn how to cook and sew but also learn the essentials of good home living and planning. Here, in agriculture, we find the boys carrying out super- vised farm practice projects so that they can better themselves by doing and by learning. This encourages and promotes better management in future years of farming. Nora Shaffer and Inez Beard are putting the finishing touches on the skirt of Mary Baker for their project in Home Economics. Learning the parts of a perfect cow for judging contests are Agricultural students Max Trubey, Dale Rigg, Merle Young, and Richard Getts. ll
