ARTS CFFER MANY OPPORTU ITIE A potential architect or engineer, junior Don Larson works in mechanical drawing class. Industrial Arts teaches skills for the future. These activities are carefully designed to ful- fill the needs of the individual. This depart- ment provides an opportunity for students to develop manual skills and to gain experience that will be valuable aids toward obtaining employment after graduation. Besides striving to fill the needs of the in- dividuals, this department stresses safety. The activities are carefully planned, and materials allotted are ample and excellent. Boys are taught skills for future use in a career. Replacing tools in the tool rack after a hard doy's work are Tom Monroe and Tom E. Smith, seniors. Emery Johnson, a senior, finishes varnishing a board while others plan their next project.

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.

FINE ARTS ADAPT TO ALL I TERE T A section at the senior high school band practices during first-period class. Walter Kniola andsSondra Stephens work with clay on the pottery wheel during art class. The talents of our art department ore used in service to the school and the community. The instruction in art is varied to meet the desires of the individual student. The CHS choral department received two new boosts in its program this year-its new chorus room and the new director, Miss Littell. The new chorus room, located on the second floor of the new gym, ,features full-length windows soaring up to the towering ceiling. The chorus reflected this in its increased acti- vity. Our band, situated in its new, improved room, kicked off the year with an intensive LUOB lLet's Uniform Our Bandl Campaign. Throughout the year whether by LUOB signs and posters, concerts, or music, we are reminded of the value of our art and .music departments.
