Here Jeanie Clouse. Laurie Nelson search encyclopedias. Laws of science, math can be Opinions don’t matter too much in science and math, with two plus two making four, no matter what you’d like; with fetal pigs usually having two eyes each; and with two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen surely forming water. So Mr. Merrell, changing this year from English and business; Mr. Lindsey, coming daily to Room 12 from his wood shop; and Mr. Davis in his lab studied with their students the rules, excep- tions, and wonders of mathe- matics and science. 24

Many classes teach Skills in homemaking and business practice HALL FLOOR is handy cutting board for Homemaking I students. TOP: MR. LARRY POAGE is guest speaker in business law BELOW. BOTH PAGES: MR. CLOTHIER hosts shorthand class at milk break after good dictation lesson: J.RUTHER- FORD. E.Lopez paint candles for law-economics project; DWIGHT PAYNE keeps up with bookkeeping assignment; MALISSA HUGGINS turns up dress hem; NYLA CLOUSE has variety of duties as Mr. Clothier's secretary. Typewriters clacked; sew- ing machines hummed; adding machines clicked; bacon 'n' eggs sizzled. And this year something new: business classes conducted real bus- iness projects. Typing budgets and speed tests; shorthand dictation; fearsome bookkeeping tests: nobody got an A from Mr. Clothier without hard work. To give students experi- ence in personal and bus- iness finance, Mr. Stephens required projects. These included a car wash business and sales of gift items. Some learned how to make a profit. All learned how easy it is to fail. Homemaking girls cooked, and learned to use patterns and to work with various kinds of fabrics. They received in- struction on grooming, table setting, and care of babies, children, and invalids. Happy endings to the year: The Town Kats named Mr. Clothier Teacher of the Year: the student council named Mrs. Powell TOY; and the Powells’ daughter, Renee Marie, was born May 21.
