All of the printing of disciplinary cards, grade cards, registration blanks, passes, ly ' 'F absentee slips and like forms used in conducting the school, not only for Central and M4 X E Junior College, but also for the other four high schools in the city, is done by these N4 5 classes. A conservative estimate of the commercial value of the printing done by the ,J 'V li Central print shop for the school district during the year from June, 1928, to June, 1 74, 1929, was approximately S2,000. lx The foods' department offers a unique and interesting course. Instead of merely 1 QA learning methods of cooking various dishes, each meal is taken up separately, and all 'N i ' 1 of the foods involved are studied. Complete meals are planned and served. The stu- ix: 1: Sq. dents' thus become familiar with the correct setting of the table, the etiquette of serv- ,Ji ing, and good table manners. The most attractive ways of fixing foods are studied, so Q-sql ' il that they may appeal to the eye as well as to the taste. The students also discuss food J t X values. Ideal kitchens, with the best equipment possible for making them convenient ,-'Qt V and pleasant to work in, are planned. ,NY The clothing department is an important part of the domestic science course. An 5 ' attempt is made to develop the students' knowledge of textiles so that they may make 'Y ,I suitable selections of materials. The Wise expenditure of money and the choice of be- coming styles are emphasized. In addition to learning to plan and construct various 14 lpfjl types of garments properly, the care and repair of clothing is taught. Style and color , jc in relation to the individual type is studied in detail. The students work out budgets if JXQ for each garment made. Every spring a style show is given. The best dresses are MA chosen and are exhibited by their makers. x ' R The mechanical drawing course is of great benefit to students who desire to be- , X 3 come engineers. The work must, of necessity, differ with the individual student, but the if , 71 learning of a graphical language is emphasized. The students studying bench and Q1 , lathe construct various pieces of furniture. These range from cedar chests and beds to tables and taborets, and are displayed at the exhibit held each spring. Lamps re- J 1 quiring electricalwiring are also made. In addition to this, these classes make cabi- Xi l , nets, shelves, and tables for some of the school rooms. 4' xg M in 4 -A ffm f-M ,J MS-igi,ilfillw4 Psi.- Page Twenty-two
