Offerings include Home Economics I, 11, and III, which consist of a semester each of cooking and sewing. Family living is given on the senior level to boys and girls. Senior girls having maintained a “B” average through all three years of home economics may act as an assistant during classes in their fourth year. One major change was made this year in the art department, in moving from traditional to the flexible schedule. The purpose of this change was to allow for more field trips and a wider variety of offerings. Trips were made to the Detroit Institute of Arts, and Antique Village at Keatington where timed sketchings were practiced. The courses offered include Art I. crafts, painting and drawings and studio arts.
