HO E ECG O IC Required for all girls-and who could be with- out it-are the skills of home economics-ranging from basic food and clothing classes to classes in family living. The department prepares young women to meet the needs of present and future living. Even though academic knowledge has been stressed in this decade a citizen who lives in the atomic age must be fed and clothed by the toil and skills of the housewife. In preparing for a housewife's occupation a high school girl may find a required course benefi- cial. Culinary skills are practical in the preparation of complete well-balanced meals. The girls are taught everything including vitamin counting and table setting. In sewing, everything is stressed from marking a perfect hem to threading a sewing machine. Under the watchful eye of their instructors, the girls learn many domestic skills. S . Qu.. Martha Gowan Rheta Holt Clara Noles 4 . 136

INDUSTRIAL ARTS The industrial arts program offered the op- portunity for all boys to participate in activities to develop the manual skills-Offering courses in Woodwork, drafting, and many others. Students have the opportunity to learn skills which are use- ful for all and lead to worthwhile advocations and actual trade skills. To house an expanding population, architects and draftsmen are needed to plan buildings. Young men who aspire to be the ones who draw blueprints of what is to be turned into beams and plaster to shelter future families begin with funda- mental courses. Man now lives in a Space Age, but the same food and shelter and needs of his prehistoric an- cestors with the addition of fast transportation must still be met.
