FROM NAILS TO EEDLE PRACTICAL This department offers a variety of activi- ties. Both boys and girls are enrolled in home- making courses. Students at CHS are fortu- nate because they are offered experiences and opportunities in homemaking which few schools surpass. As well as learning to cook and sew, a student can learn child core, good grooming, etiquette, meal planning ond pre- paration, buying, and budgeting. A home pro- ject is required each semester. The home economics course has a minimum requirement of three units. If a student wishes to make a career in this field, four units and chemistry are needed. Two units of home economics will qualify a student for a minor and meet the graduation requirement as a substitute for a credit in health and safety. Herb Park, Bob Kremke, and Gene Winquist seem hesi- tant about testing the food they cooked while Ted Fieffer, Bill Brooks, and Denny Moldenhauer observe. Louella Markley and Sharon Turner clean up their kitchen after a cooking lesson. Sewing in a zipper is really simple when you know how as senior Phyllis Westergren learns.

GYM I IMPOR Every student is required to have one credit in physical education to graduate. The in- structors in the physical education department emphasize fair play. They do this by giving each student the responsibility 'of doing his part during each class period. There is a sport where each boy may excel. These sports are: football, cross-country, base- ball, basketball, and track. The intramural program is chosen in regard to human growth, development, and behavior. ln the girls' physical education program, the instructors correlate physical exercise, rules, and participation in individual and group sports. Carolyn Wycotf, a sophomore, demonstrates how to serve a volleyball in gym class. In physical education class, a group of boys engage in a fast game of basketball. TANT TO ALL Sharon Turner catches a volleyball from an unseen class- mate while Bonnie Brooks looks on.
