Qld Learning to be future homemakers, 'Clay- ettes' measure vitamin content, serve sizzling steaks, sew and show the latest fashions, and nurse a cold back to health. Down the hall, seven doors away, shop classes absorb new skills and knowledge that make efficient repairmen, Woodworkers, and draftsmen. Art classes, working industriously, carve plas- ter of Paris faces, sketch snappy posters, com- bine odd colors fwith odd resultsj, and experiment with mosaics.
