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.
