ArilsiU J a i GETTING TOG everything to-j The odor of succulent cuisine waift- ed through the air by the Home Eco- nomics Room. The aromatic smell excited the nostrils of passer-bys, and caused empty stomachs to rum- ble. In Home Economics, students began with a few ingredients and managed to develop them into mouth-watering meals. Not only did they indulge in creative cookery, but they also studied the construction of garments in sewing and the role of the family in family living. In the Industrial Art ' s buildings, stu- dents turned into creators. They took raw materials and developed them into finished products. Their learn- ing, like that of Home Economics ' students, came more from exper- ience than through the textbook. These experiences included drawing simple to complex objects in me- chanical drawing to constructing ob- jects from wood and plastic in shop. All in all, students managed to get it together, whether it involved cooking, sewing, or construction. BUMPY BATTER. Students enter the world of baking in Home Economics.

Their outfits, green shirts and trou- sers with black boots, enhanced no one ' s figure, but proved comfortable while marching. These two groups helped the bodies keep up with the development of the minds of the stu- dents at Callaway. In R.O.T.C. students gained leader- ship ability which aided them in life, whether they pursued an army ca- reer or not. Students who took the course studied map reading, weapon safety, and combat strategy. They also performed as male and female drill teams, which competed with other R.O.T.C. groups throughout the state. PRETTY POSE. R.O.T.C. girls execute an- other perfectly timed drill.
