A sewing hint from Miss Mumaw is utilized by Grace Hostetter, Shirley Yoder and Grace Wyse. IFACULTY Home economics students live in a world of flat-fell seams, roll collars, buffet dinners and fallen cakes. But their curriculum is not restricted to cooking and sewing. They study child development and the family budget under Miss Mumaw. Miss Showalter’s course in house planning results in miniature houses carefully furnished to meet the needs of each girl and her imaginary family. While “home ec” girls study the basic four foods, business education students are hoping to get 100 words per minute in typing class. A few reach 120 words per minute in shorthand with Mrs. Hostetter’s encourage- ment. In accounting class they consider ledgers, periodic adjustments, assets, common stock and office routine. These students learn by doing, by practical experience. They gain head and hand knowledge to be used in future jobs. Samuel E. Miller, M.A. Catherine R. Mumaw, M.S. Homer A. Mumaw, M.S.

With these and other words they share past experiences and present convictions. Education students remember introduction to education class with its magazine reports, group discussions, and child study. They recall Miss Lehman’s probing, “Well, that’s not exactly what | had in mind. ” They remember making plans, then dressing up for visits to neighboring schools. Mr. Shetler’s “Now, what point did that illustration come under?” kept students alert and listening. Education students learned to make those difficult lesson plans in Mr. Lehman’s class, then used that knowledge in student teaching. Guided by supervisors, they did live through student teaching and its multitudinous tensions. The teachers taught and the students learned and went out to share their experiences.

Will it explode? Student J. Mark Brubaker and teacher Kenton Brubaker do not think so. COLLEGE Chemistry, the important basis of modern technological progress, calls the inquisitive to explore the elements. But these explorations in the classroom are in the form of carefully controlled experiments, lest some aspiring chemist stumble, in the unknown, upon an explosive combination. Scientific method, not chance, rules the chem- istry laboratory. Strange scents are released here. Flasks, tubes, thistle tubes, Bunsen burners, thermometers, scales and tongs are among the equipment on hand. Chemicals of all kinds are the materials used. Words like “density,” “visco- sity,” “oxidation-reduction,” “complex ions,” “electrolysis,” “hydrocarbon” and “biochemistry” are common terms of communication. Triple periods give the alert and learning chemists time to assimilate knowledge guided by the accumulated experience of the professor and the textbooks. The information gained by students in these classes will be used in industry, medicine, teaching, and everyday life—as a means to the end of service for God and fellow human beings.
