Vocational Arts Offer Practical Courses “Girls in agriculture???” No longer is home economics the only vocational course at CHS offered to girls. Girls may now enroll in Agriculture Education, de¬ signed to provide meaningful educational experiences and to develop the students knowledge, skills, and abilities in related fields of agriculture. Other courses in the agriculture department which are still offered primarily to boys include those in agriculture science, general mechanics, machinery, and exploratory agriculture. Classes in the five-year home economics program help girls not only to acquire those skills which contribute to home and family living, but also to develop proper habits of personal and social behavior. 18

“Y” Clubs Provide Services The main goals of the “Y” clubs this year were to help underprivileged children of the area and to learn more about the functions of state government. In trying to achieve these goals, the Co- Ed Hi-Y sent toys to needy children at Christmas, the Tri-Hi-Y collected money for Easter Seals, and the Hi-Y sponsored a candy sale. Each club was represented in a state con¬ ference. The Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y sent dele¬ gates to the Model General Assembly in Richmond, and the Co-Ed Hi-Y sent repre¬ sentatives to their General Assembly in Harrisonburg. These three clubs also served as host to the District YMCA meet¬ ing. 20
