Delving into old magazine files, student librarians soothed the qualms of term-paper-ridden students by placing mounds of reference materials at their fingertips. Introduced in the art department were such innovations as macrame, rug hooking, and pastel work. Art II students tried their hands at batik. A new course called Allied Arts, offered during the first semester, explored the correlation of art and music under the joint supervision of Mr. Phillips and Mr. Penry.

Members studied the offerings of the school as they now stand. Besides health services and gainful employment, the three home ec teachers offered a course called bachelor living, child care, and the conventional home economic classes. Business students learned accounting, marketing, and sec- retarial skills that advanced students put to practical use with on-the-job experience. Electronic and electricity students learned to build and re- pair radios and electric motors. Drafting students built model homes they had designed, and cabinet makers made stereo cabinets and picnic tables. Ag students studied basic farming procedure and shop skills for repairs and safety. 17
