HOUSEHOLD ARTS Decisions: how do you make them, what do you con- sider, what are the alternatives? Special Home Management, a new class in the Household Arts Department, teaches senior girls to make decisions such as family budgeting and buying items for the home. This class was initiated by Miss Heagney, head of the department, to add to courses which teach the specialized skills of balanced meal preparation and clothing construction. FINE ARTS The same problem, with 30 different students, and 30 ditterent answers-all correct? This could only happen in our art classes where we try to develop the flexible and creative thinking needed in today's changing world. Fundamental training in color, form, perspective and design are studied in the basic year required of all students, art work- shop classes do advanced study of design, ceramics, sculpture and painting techniques.

Murphy CQAJ. ., 'l'si..,l' JJ COUNSELORS Do you have problems? It doesn't matter if they are vocational problems, personal problems, or college plans. The place to go to have these problems ironed out is 112 or T14 where you will find a counselor ready to look at any student's problems obiectively, and then, to the best of the counselor's ability, help him solve these problems. Fenger is very fortunate to have Mrs. Fristoe, Mr. Katz, Miss Landers, Mrs. Murphy, and Mrs. Rupprecht as the counselors who will always be here with a kind word, a smile, and sound advice. R.0.T.C. Sgt. Edward Tobin and Sgt. Robert Neil are the Commanders-in-chief of the ROTC's excellent militia. They teach the boys discipline, respect for senior officers, and bring out the boy's honor and respect for others. SPEECH Once a week our speech teacher, Beverly Miller, comes to Fenger to help a select group of students improve their speech. 17
