Mrs. Leona Woodling Indiana State Teachers College Home Economics F.H.A. — Sponsor Billy Lewin makes a layout for one of his many assignments in me- chanical drawing class and thus prepares himself in architectural de- sign. i Ji 1 1 Bowling pins to salt and pepper shakers is a trick that can be accomplished by a person who knows how to use the wood lathe as Billy Cat- lett evidently does. Arc Welding, as done here by Roger Ybarra and Rusty Rogers, is the result of extensive training in metal work. Manual Art.s 29

Wood Shop Furn ishes Clubs With Gavels In home economics class Judy Sullivan puts to practical use her instruction on how to cut out a pattern. The finished dress will do much to en- hance her wardrobe. From the learning of proper household management to the making of useful wood and metal projects and the drawing of ar- chitectural designs, students enrolled in wood shop, metal shop, home eco ' nomics and me- chanical drawing are given many opportun- ities to design and create products of worth- while value. In wood shop this year the boys assumed the project of making gavels for all of the clubs in school. They also showed that even bowling pins — of which they were given several hundred — can be turned into such articles as lamp bases and salt and pep- per shakers. Girls in home economics dis- played their talents in homemaking through the planning, cooking and serving of meals to both parents and teachers on many oc- casions. Through these activities and through other class work, “home ec” girls learned the best ways of making a house a home. Ad- vanced mechanical drawing students dis- played their talents in the spring when they constructed scale model houses from their own design. And the boys in metal shop dis- played their skills in the numerous articles designed and made from metal and in the repairing and rebuilding of various metal objects.

Artistic Expression Exhibited By Students Putting their whole hearts into it, Helen Mc- Cready, Joan Daughtrey and Kathy Oliver blend their tones mellifluously while singing with the Triple Trio in the Christmas concert. The fine arts department offers the in- dividual a chance to belong to a group and also to develop his own interests. Membership in any of the choral groups gives a student a sense of responsibility as he attends the early morning rehearsals pre- ceding a concert or as he hears the tapes of a performance and realizes that he has been a part of the final production. Individual achievement comes with being given a solo voice part or auditioning and making All- State Chorus. The band, as the instrumental section of CHS’s music program, has displayed its in- dividuality in field programs during the foot- ball season, at its Christmas concert, and at various other programs and competitions. Instrumental playing gives a student a sense of individual accomplishment. Art completes the liberal arts courses of- fered at CHS. It affords instruction in the creative arts, painting and sculpture, and in the commercial arts such as designing and lettering. Having been instructed in the basic principles of art composition, students are given a chance to display their own talent in competition by means of the various art contests.
