Homemakers At Home By The Range The home is the first and most valuable training ground. By learning how to make a house into a home, and by practicing those extra little things that make a housewife a homemaker, the girls in the Home Economics class are preparing themselves for the valuable services they will give as our country's first teachers, and for building the happy home which is every girl's dream. As they sew, cook, can, and preserve jams and jellies, it's more than just a class-it's the future. Susan Sexton chose purple as feature color in the tasteful bedroom she designed and constructed for advanced homemaking class. Sophomore seamstresses add finishing touches to attractive cottons.

m, v j, Music Makers Make Merry Male Quartet, Allen Finley, Bill Streeter, Terrell Clarke, and Earl Marble, renders a swinging spiritual. Greg Denning and Mike King, experienced band-men, tootle before class. The ability to sing or play an instrument well is a gift, but one that needs training, polishing, and developing. The fine quality of musicanship displayed by the band during both marching and concert season, and by the choir in their Wassail Party and Operetta, Mr. Crane of Sleepy Hollow are the best recommendations possible for our music department. Within both groups are divisions, the pep band which supplied so much spirit and color to basketball season, the dance band with its swinging dance entertainment and choir operetta accompaniment, the triple trio which gave countless performances in their chic blue outfits, and the talented Male Quartet with their colorful spirituals. Such music! Triple Trio members, Janet Leatherman, Karen Brown, Donna Vermillion, Carol Glenz, Janice McMurray, Doris Ferguson, Susan Head, Pattie Vlcek, and accompanist Sara Scott, sing as well as they look.

Mr. DeGroat's Driver Training class, Eugene Wechter, Mike O'Kelly, Leroy Phillips, Jim Syfert, and Jerry laving-ston, not only learn, but apply safedriving rules. A Sound Mind And A Sound Body When President Kennedy stated The Strength of our Democracy is no greater than the collective well-being of our people , he was echoing Plato's belief that Physical fitness and mental fitness go hand in hand. In our P. E. classes, we proved daily that we have not become a nation of spectators . The vigorous program includes volleyball, tumbling, baseball, basketball, speed-away, football, track, and badminton. Not only are these sports body-building, but they are a refreshing break in a day of study. Future gymnast or frustrated monkey?
