Cooking Odors, Tnread, Children Exennplifq Hornernaking, Cooking odors wafting through the halls-spools of vari-colored thread rolling across the floor-small children iumping rope in the cafeteria patio-these things all typify some of the phases included in home- making. For the second year, homeliving, a class which boys and girls take together, was offered. Under the direction of Mrs. Xenia Haushalter, the C. H. S. homemaking department focused its train- ing on six phases: home management, cooking, sew- ing, finance, family relations, and family problems. , , ,, ,.

Drivers Training, Education Stress Safetq and Laws Arizona laws were stressed by the teachers of drivers education. This six-weeks-long course-, required dur- ing the sophomore year, is an important factor in edu- cating future drivers in their responsibilities, encourag- ing proper driving attitudes, and teaching care of the car. Drivers training includes care of the car as well as the behind-the-wheel driving instruction. With over 60,000 people killed on highways in the last year, drivers training and drivers education courses are taking on more importance. DRIVERS EDUCATION partment head.

This is the second year that a distributive education program has been of- fered at Catalina. These courses, both beginning and advanced, are designed to acquaint students with selling, business procedures, and vocational efficiency. Nine instructors make use of the latest business equip- ment in teaching these skills to the 1000 students en- rolled in this department. The demand for experienced workers in this field is great. Many graduating students go into the industrial and business fields. This illustrates the importance and usefulness of a business education program. The Business Education Department offers courses in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, business training, commercial law, b u si n e s s machines, and office practice. BUSINESS EDUCATION . . .

Acauainting Students Fullq with A Language ls Vital Buenos dias, pax vobiscum, guten tag, bon iour - these are some of the expressions that can be heard in the foreign language section of Catalina. The basic English courses along with these languages comprise the Language Department. Mrs. Uarda Phe- lan, chairman ofthe Language Department, stated that the main purposes of the English classes are to teach the students to read, write, speak, and listen to the English language. Vocabulary, spelling, and grammar are also stressed as important by Mrs. Phelan, in Eng- lish and in German, French, Spanish, and Latin, the four foreign languages offered here. Oral self-ex- pression was an important factor in all of the lang- uages except Latin, for, with the exception of Latin, the purpose of taking a foreign language is to learn to speak it with fluency and ease. Ancient and modern literature was discussed in all of the language courses. There were two small honors English classes this year taught by Miss Betty Leddy. Those seniors who want to delve more deeply in their study of English can take this instead of a regular senior course if their grades in English have been excelle-nt and they are able to keep up with this work. The some work is covered by this group, but extra material is taken up as well. Which book shall I take? lt's a tough decision for Harold Nicholls and Harold Barr with so many good ones filling the library shelves. Languages . . . Top Row: Miss Nancy Adle-English . . .
