MISS REBA MAE BEERS Vocational and General Home Economics. Mans- field State Teachers Col- lege, BS. Pennsylvania State University, M.Ed. Advisor, Future Home- makers of America Club, Home Ec prepares girls for the various jobs in life. Home Fc is one of the few courses offered for the consecutive three years at Central Dauphin. Whether the students are in their first year or their third, the girls cover new, different, and several interesting phases of homemaking, child care, and house management. The course goes deeper than the ever-important skills of sewing and cooking, Keeping several small children at an all-day school gives val- uable experience in entertaining and caring for youngsters. This self-supporting day school is one of the main projects of the home eco- nouiics department. The Food Preparatory Course, under the direction of Mr. Joseph Rotunda, cafeteria manager, had an enrollment of twenty-five students this year. The objectives of this course are learning health habits, the use and care of equipment in hotels and restaurants, cafeteria service, the preparation of foods, and business ethics. The course in Food Preparation, however, does not all deal with fooclsg the students are also given academic work, and courses designed to help them in industry. These courses are supplemented by several field trips during the year. An innovation for the Food Preparation Course this year has been the offering of a 31000 scholarship award by the Statler Hotel Founda- tion. The highest ranking senior funknown at the time the CENTRALIAN went to pressj received this award to help further his education. All graduates of the Food Preparatory Course who wished to be placed have been provided jobs through the school. Students taking the Food Preparation Course operate the Tea Room. Snack Bar, Soda Fountain, and the A La Carte lunch line. MR. JOSEPH A. ROTUNDA Food Preparation. Penn State. Advisor, Food pre- paration Clubg Cafeteria Manager.

Each class advances in all phases of music from basic fundamentals, which must be mastered in the first year, through practical classroom teaching, conducting, composition, and orchestration. The work of the department is enhanced by correlation with choral activities, individual solo performances in student recitals and shows, as well as local field trips, and a two'day trip to the music centers in New York City.
