Courses Stress Practical Side Hoping to prepare girls for fu- ture adult and consumer responsi- bilities, the Home Economics de- partment presented various as- pects of home management. To help curb the rising food expense, the students learned to can toma- toes and other goods as well as prepare jellies and make apple- sauce. Sewing, small child care, and marriage were just a few of the many areas studied. In other fields of the practical arts, wood and metal shops pro- vided the opportunity for stu- dents to master the techniques of using certain tools, while mechani- cal drawing concentrated on de- veloping the skills of isometric and perspective drawing. 29

As concert time grows near, chorus members intently watch as Sam Coco signals to commence practice. Coco Creates Voice Ensemble Striving to give students the ulti- mate opportunity to express their in- born creativity, a new forty-six voice ensemble, under the direction of Sam Coco, became a reality at Forest Hills this year. Only those chorus members best qualified were chosen to challenge the college level songs. Embodied in both the Christmas and Spring Con- certs, the ensemble also performed at the Richland Mall during the Christmas season.

During a game of scooter ball, Charles Sponsky in a third period gym class, puts the ball into play for Don Eppley and Dan Townsend. Gym Develops Friendships Physical education classes com- prised of seniors, juniors, and sophomores offered another oppor- tunity for Forest Hills students to intermingle with their prospective classes. Friendships were formed while students concentrated on leaving out their inner-most ten- sions through active participation in tumbling, cage ball, and volley ball. Still the favorite of most, gym- nastics provided students with the chance to excel and show off their talent whether it be on the tramp, parallel bars, or the horse. Above: While anxious teammates look on, Dorie ScMomct attempts a tTick volley. Right: Penny Matlin, assisted by Eva Myers, Karen Homola, Kathy White and Val Saccol, keeps score of a volleyball game.
