Girls Learn the Art of Homemaking While Boys Vocational courses are important in the Butler High School curriculum. These courses, including home economics, shop, and agriculture are open to all of the students at B.H.S.

Besides working on their many projects in the classroom they took time out of their schedule to display their work for the school to see. The art bulletin board in the main hall could always be counted on to hold some colorful display of art work. They also exhibited some of their clay figures on other floors. : Drawing is not the only thing art students learn to do; they moved from project to project. Weaving, chalk drawing, figure sculpture, and copper tooling were just a few of the many things the students work- ed on during the year. Mrs. Viscosi teaches her stu- dents that weaving, drawing, and making jewelry isn't all there is to art. She teaches them the many facets of art and art appreciation. Art students Carol Dohner, Robert Antrup, and Jerry McKean add the finishing touches to their piece of pottery before they are fired in the kiln. KAISER PLUMBING AND ELECTRIC oe
