HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT The Homemaking program is constantly grow- ing and includes four major parts: classroom in- struction, Future Homemakers of America chap- ter, home projects and home visitation, and the rapidly expanding adult program. The Future Homemakers chapter is growing in numbers, activities and Degrees of Achieve- ment. One of the main purposes of this organiza- tion is to develop leadership abilities. Contrary to the old belief, classroom instruc- tion consists of much more than just cooking and sewing. The range of areas includes every- thing from these standbys to child care and Home Nursing. Equal stress is now being put on principles as well as skills in all areas. ZYLPHIA LEWIS Eastern State College, Uni- versity of Kentucky, B.S., and M.A., Homemaking, Future Homemakers of America.

DEPARTMENT History — the teaching of America’s heritage, past and present — is taught at Clearwater High School in order to help in the future students studying sit- uations of the past; we hope to improve things in the future and learn how to live with one another. Among the courses offered are World History, Amer- ican History, American Government, Psychology, and Economics. One sign of the modern age is the fact that there is both an American History and World History class using TV, to supplement the les- sons taught by the teacher. 23

. INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT Our Industrial Arts program includes General Woodworking. Arts and Crafts, and Mechanical Drawing. Woodworking students learn to design and construct products in wood. By use of academic activity in conjunction with laboratory work, projects are designed, their construction studied and the project produced. These tasks are accom- plished by hand and machine processes. The Arts and Crafts course aims primarily to develop basic undertakings and skills through working with ceramics, leather, cooper enameling, copper tooling, and other materials. It includes the development of an ability to use leisure time by filling it with self-satisfying work. Mechanical Drawing has been called the “Language of Industry” and engineers, architects, and designers use it to record their ideas. Mechanical Drawing teaches visual and constructive imagination and the habit of exact thinking. RUSSELL D. STICHLER Western Mich. U., U. of Fla., B.S., M.A.E., Indus- trial Arts.
