HOME ECONOMICS We Learn to Become Happy Homemakers Oh yes, we can bake a cherry pie and sew a straight seam! We can do over old furniture and decorate a room. We can read pattern directions and win a prize with our dress creations. We learn to cook an entire meal and to serve it properly. We know that an attractively decorated table adds to the attractiveness of the food. We also are aware that excellent table manners are a must. We enjoy working together in our attractive, well- furnished home economics departments. We help each other and we work in groups learning to put in a zipper, make a button hole, or cover belt buckles, Each of us selects a home project, which may be the redecoration of our own room, an improvement in our kitchen, planting shrubbery, or a flower bed. We learn the value of calories, how to plan a well- balanced meal, how to buy food and choose meats, how to take care of young children, and how to budget our would-be incomes when we are housewives in reality. We also stress the importance of values and give and take in this business of home-makingg and we keep first and foremost always the fact that it takes good intelligent planning to make a happy home today.

JJ-4 SCIENCE WCNDERS Scientific Experiments and Problems Hold Our Interest To meet todayis demand for better trained scientists. our school is stressing the importance of the four science courses offered to the students. Frequently the penetrating fumes of formaldehyde drifts through the halls of our building. The peculiar odor of sulfur dioxide emanates from the chemistry rooms. We are quite proud of our excel- lent biology lab. Wle examine parasitm and bacteria under the micro- scope, learning about the mysterious' make-up of plants and animal life. W'e make individual field trips and reports on nature and out- door life that add greatly to our knowledge and scientific interest. We gather material for display at our Science Fair. ln chemistry we learn the fundamentals of this fascinating sub- ject. We become familiar with those basic formulas-H,O. H,SO,, NaCl, CAfOHlQ. We watch with wonder some of our more compli- cated lab experiments that reveal to us the magic of chemical changes. We study light and sound in physics. We learn the prin- ciples behind radio, electronics, magnetism, and television. Each physics student builds an electric motor that really works. We learn about the how', and 6'why of everyday life. Through these various science courses we appreciate more keenly the value of science in our lives today. Biology class using microscopes.
