Jdomemct Laying a foundation as future home- maker, the girl of today must prepare herself for many activities. Specialized courses in cooking, sewing, home-man- agement, and interior-decorating have been designed to help her. She learns to cook well balanced meals, budget her money efficiently, and decorate her home effectively. The Family Relations course, offered to boys as well as girls, gives students an opportunity to understand marital prob- lems. Linea Creek, Jan Grant, and Martha Davis (left to right) model the clothing they made in Homemaking for spring and summer wear.

Showing students in Physical Educa- tion how they compare physically with other students nationally has been stress- ed in the physical fitness tests. Exercises, including sit ups, squat thrusts, and pull ups are included in the tests. Students participate in dancing and self-improvement units placing value on continued exercises after the student graduates. Using fair play as our motto, we de- velop leaders.
