Future Home Economists Develop Skills Visiting Major General Jon- athon Seaman, Commander of the 6th Army Corps, and Manual Principal C. Edgar Stahl are given the royal treatment by Dwight Ken- drick, a member of the Boys ' Foods Class. Enjoyable classes, training, and experience are the themes under which the Home Econo- mics Department performs. Future home- makers are offered courses in sewing, cook- ing, and social living. In sewing classes, the girls learn to make clothing for each member of the family; advanced clothing teaches skilled tailoring. Food classes offer the opportunity for pupils to prepare well-balanced and savory meals. They also learn the art of setting a table correctly, planning party festivities and teas, and serving meals attractively. Courses in Social Practice emphasize good grooming and pleasing clothes designs. Boys also re- ceive instruction in the Boys ' Foods Class. These classes gain practical experience when they prepare food and serve it to visiting dig- nitaries. The goal of developing true skills can soon be achieved since the labs are sup- plied with the latest of modern appliances. Sophomore Janice Creer displays one facet of the skills she has acquired in sewing class as she pins a pattern. These girls are sampling the food which they had pre- pared during their daily activities in a cooking class. 15

Social Studies Orbit ' One World ' Manualites are in keeping with the trend in modern education. This is the second year that Manual has participated in the Midwest Experimental Program with Airborne Televi- sion instruction, which we initiated in Indi- anapolis in the spring of 1960. These broad- casts, which serve five states, are telecast by means of video tape from an airplane flying over northern Indiana. Special classes in United States and World History tuned in daily except Fridays, which were reserved for discussion, lecture, and testing, or whatever the teacher thought necessary. Manual ' s Social Studies Department offers students one of the most complete educations possible in this field. Citizenship, offered to freshmen, develops in students an apprecia- tion for their rights as Americans and an understanding of American Capitalism. World History gives pupils a panoramic view of his- tory from prehistoric times to the present; United States History teaches students of the social, economic, cultural, and governmental aspects of our country ' s history. While United States government emphasizes the workings of our government and our rights and responsibilities toward it, economics is a study of our modern economic institutions. Psychology, offered to seniors, helps the student to better understand himself and others; and International Relations delves in- to the forces that influence and create the world of today f?r social studies majors. Junior Cindy Eaton and Sophomore Tom Smith gather information for their term reports for history classes. 14

Pupils Make Ready For Business Life Manual ' s Business Department provides the opportunity to develop talent in various busi- ness skills. Many of the students enrolled in these classes plan to go into business upon graduation, but others are preparing for col- lege note taking and typing of term papers. Typing is one of the first courses, usually taken in the sophomore year. These students receive instruction and practice in the use of the dictaphone. Business students also learn to operate other machines such as the multi- graph, ditto, and mimeograph machines. Ma- chine calculation and office training are ad- vanced courses. In office training, pupils learn to be efficient in secretarial work, and are given the opportunity to work in Manual ' s office. Practice is obtained by the class ' producing tests and forms for school use. A race for space sent pupils in two Typing III classes off and running for speed and accuracy. Lynne Sim- merman and Jo Anne Brown place their rockets. Learning while teaching, Miss Diane Hunt, student teacher from lnd ; ana University, aids Miss Phyllis Creve, of the Business Education Department, with whom she worked in instructing a typing class. 16
