The new subject, Home Economics IV, consisted of those students who were al- ready familiar with sewing from commer- cial patterns. Students in these classes used their own imagination to design their clothes. This unit also included the study of foreign foods thus helping the students gain a better un- derstanding ofthe cultural patterns of other countries. A demonstration mirror was the main piece of new equipment purchased. With the use of this overhead mirror, it was possible to project the proper techniques of displaying food, setting the table, etc. Home Ec. students went on a field trip to the Betty Crocker Kitchens where they viewed several rooms used for cooking and entertaining. Each room, designed in a dif- ferent style, added variety to the tour. The year ended by naming the most outstanding home economics student.

'QM The many parts ofa four-cycle, horizontal shaft engine intrigues junior Dick Manous as he demonstrates their func tion to junior Randi Taubert, the only girl taking the power mechanics course for a super hockey arena fourth hour s Offered to Students Nightstands, gun racks, hi ti cabinets and canister sets - all were on the scene in the woodworking classes at Heights. A new drill press was purchased this year. Shop classes constructed the carrousel for the Y-Teen Formal. Two new classes were also added - graphic arts and power me- chanics. Over S20,000 worth of new equipment was added to the new wing in the graphic arts area. Boys worked in such areas as silk screening. A stencil was taped to a silk screen and paint spread through to the paper below. Power mechanics classes worked on transmissions, ground automotive valves, and performed major maintenance on small engines. Speakers from Bjorklund and Anderson Window Companies came to speak to the architectural drafting classes. They also invited an ar- chitect and a general contractor to visit. Individual proiects took up a nine-weeks period in metal and ma- chine shops, ranging from wrought-iron furniture, go carts, and mini bikes to homemade hammers and clamps. Small external combustion engines were also created in machine shop.
