T he fragrant aromas that come from the Home Ec kitchens are the results of work that is so important to the future homemakers of our community. Cooking is fun for all. The girls active in Home Ec also make their own contributions to their wardrobes during sewing classes. Home Ec is a practical course and one of the most popular in the school. Girls are also taught etiquette and the management of the home. Jo ji i ptcVisL $o D bsdicA, living FACULTY

! Cbd, Much of the attractive work in the school is a product of our Art Department. Students in Art I, II, III, and IV study in various fields of art for pleasure and to develop skills. In addition, they willingly make posters to advertise school activities and help with the bulletin boards. Many facilities are available through this department. Prospective sculptors have a pot¬ ter’s wheel and kiln for their use. Students may also take handicrafts, a new course this year. Students compete in poster contests and enter various art exhibits in the community. They also sponsor exhibits within the school. Many of the classes take field-trips in the Washington area.

Layne Industrial Arts An expanded language program is the goal of Fairfax High School. A total of five hun¬ dred students took courses in Latin, Spanish, and French this year. As a result of many de¬ mands, advanced work in modern languages as well as in Latin have been added to the curriculum. For the first time this year eighth graders were permitted to take a foreign lan¬ guage. Helpful innovations are the new tape re¬ corders and earphones, valuable aids to both teachers and students in oral work. Latin, French, Russian, and German Clubs acquainted members with the cultures of other lands. Jtfv ini AnjcdwnaL ajmmunijcjcduHL FACULTY Katherine A. Horn Algebra, Geometry Aurelia A.
