Home ec, shop courses encourage student inventiveness at home, work Creating fashions and constructing three-dimensional floor plans for in¬ terior decorating were projects under¬ taken by home ec. students. In May, a style show featured en¬ sembles made by the students which were judged by teachers from other schools. Along with foreign cooking, which proved to be the most popular phase of the foods course, girls also studied First Aid and Child Care. Two-hour classes in technical and architectural drawing allowed far more concentrated study in these courses. A study of mass production filled the time in machine shop, while visiting the steel mills and studying the practical uses of welding were the main concerns of the welders. Puttering around with cars is a favorite pastime for many boys. Seniors Earl Haskell and Don Card show their ability to repair a car motor which was brought to school to be worked on for class credit.
