Mr. Bernard Callahan A tool is but an extension of a man's hand. Harry Ward Beecher The Technical Arts Department of Bun- nell High School is truly something to be proud of. It is one of the best equipped high school shop programs in the state. Many opportunities that are not available to most high school students are given to our Industrial Art students. This most efficient department gives in- struction in woodworking, metals, graphic arts, power mechanics and vital industrial drafting communications. Many of the students who enroll in these courses I and they are not always boys) will go on to become useful artists, designers, scientists, technicians, engineers or, perhaps, teach- ers. This wide range of valuable employ- ment proves what an important part the Technical Arts Department of Bunnell plays in our community.

Mrs. Myra Buell Mrs. Sandra Krohn We shape our dwellings, and afterwards our dwellings shape us. Winston Churchill Mrs. Lois Kenny Mrs. Lillian Farkas Supervisor When does a house become a home? When do bread and jam sandwiches, and clean, starched curtains in the windows, and the outside lights on a cold, winter's evening mean more to you than to anyone? A house becomes a home with love and with care. It develops under a woman who knows how much extra butter to use, and what color thread matches best, and what type of furniture is most suited. The Home Economics Department creates such women. Girls are led and taught the basic skills that every homemaker must know. But this department goes beyond, and trains girls to appreciate and strive for the understanding and the ingenuity required of a good homemaker; so that, as women, these girls will be prepared to make a house a home. The homemaking department creates such men, as well. The boys in the Food Service Course, also, are exposed to dirty dishes and burnt fingers. A home to these boys, is something special that takes something special to create. The students of this department are aware of what is required to make a house a home. 18 “B . .. B .. .

Now she’s showing me how to draw!” Art is indeed not the bread, but the wine of life. Jean Paul Pieter They say one picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes a picture can cause even more comment. Posters and signs for dances, special events and other activities are usually done by students who are taking art courses. As a result, these signs may become satiri- cal, amusing, or sometimes controversial, but always creative. Bunnell offers all types of art courses, beginning with Basic Art and continuing through Fine Arts, Crafts, and many more. Art shows are presented which give students a chance to exhibit their work. The main objective of the Art Department is to give students an appreciation of art and a chance to express themselves creatively. Miss Anna Hogan 20 Mr. Edmund Butler “And this is s pumpkin!”
