OF EDUCATION DOMESTIC Vocational Guidance Opens Careers for Girls The Fort Hill Home Economics Department boasts a fine staff of instructors as well as superior equipment and growing laboratories. Vocational opportunities are opened here, and many potential homemakers are developed. In the domestic science courses, girls learn how to plan, buy, and prepare foods. Cheer- ful, well-ordered sewing rooms contribute to progress in design, sewing, and finishing of garments. Even the essentials of good groom- ing is a laboratory course in which actual habits of cleanliness are ornamented with the tricks of femininity. In the class room theories of home man- agement, child care, the fundamentals of nu- trition, interior decoration. and the types of architecture are presented. The poise and graciousness with which the girls carry off teas is a credit to themselves and their instructors. With the efficiency of seasoned hostesses, they prepare the deli- cacies, arrange the tables, and perform the social obligations. Faculty members were in- deed admiring, fortunate guests.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OPERATION AT FORT HILL As in any democracy, the masses must be given a chance to express their opinions and exert their rights. The medium through which the student body exercises these privileges is the Student Council, the lower house of the government of Fort Hill High School, which corresponds to the House of Representatives in the Federal Government. A representative is elected by each home room at the beginning of each school year. An alternate is also elected to act in the absence of the representative. Any matters of importance, proposed changes, or prob- lems of the students are brought to the at- tention of the House and Senate by the representative at the weekly meetings. The questions and problems are discussed, de- bated, and voted upon. When cr definite decision is reached concerning any item of interest to the students, each home room is informed of the plan by its own representa- tive. Each Wednesday morning after a meet- ing, an alloted period of time is set aside for a discussion of the outcome of each meeting, between the representative and the home room. At this time any new prob- lems to be discussed at the next meeting are suggested. These problems are present- ed and given serious attention at the en- suing Council meeting. Thus we see an almost ideal form of government successfully carried out in a high school of approximately two thousand pupils. The Council cooperates with Mr. Heisey in carrying out the school policies and assumes the burdens which would otherwise rest on the faculty. I. Dennison, L. Partleton, E. Hixon, R, Dolan, R. Fey, W.
