The purpose of Home Eco' nomics was to transform young girls into future homemakers. In addition to designing fashions for their an- nual style show and making cookies for the Christmas tea, girls learned to sew, cook, and decorate a home. Driver Education emphasized that maturity and sound iudgment are as essential to good driving as 20:20 vision and quick reflexes.

SV 3 To give insight into the customs, art, music, philosophy, and tempera- ment of people of other nations was the idea emphasized in the Foreign Language Department. Central of- fered four languages: French, Ger- man, Latin, and Spanish. Besides studying grammar, conversational usage, and various dialogues, all four foreign language courses in- cluded the reading of famous litera- ture. French Ill students read stories by de Maupassant and other au- thors, German classes read a selec- tion entitled Emil and the Detec- tive , Spanish Ill completed a novel, PENSATIVA, and Latin Students read Cicero, Livy, and Horace. Both Ger- man and Spanish classes wrote skits and learned songs such as Gaude- mus lgitur and La Cucarachaf' The Foreign Language Department at- tempted to make its pupils better world citizens by giving them knowl- edge of cultures other than their ovvn.
