HOME ECONOMICS For the career minded or domestic minded girl, there are a multitude of subjects that are available for study in the home economics program. Here the student learns skills that have a direct bearing on her daily life. The home economics rooms some- times abound with the pleasant odors of well prepared meals. At other times they are filled with sounds: the snip of scissors, the whir of sewing ma- chines, the gasp of distress as a mistake is discovered, and the sigh of relief and exclamation of pride as a garment is finished. Also emitted are the strains of distress and appeals for help as the girls struggle to balance a budget. In addition to these standard courses of learning to plan a tasty meal with good nutrition, learning to construct a va- riety of garments while acquiring good basic skills, and learning how to han- dle finances successfully, the opportu- nity for education in the areas of child care and home nursing is provided. With this knowledge a girl is prepared for her duties as a housewife, or to fur- ther her education along these lines and make a career as a teacher, dieti- tian, demonstration agent, or adult education instructor.

My--NWN -w J Kathy Schwartz. . . Twyla Edwards and Roycella Bateman improve their typing BUSINESS EDUCATION In the business wing the thundering sound of fingers hitting keys and keys hitting paper and platen is known by all. By the evenness of the sound and the speed of it, it is easy to discern who is beginning and who has already gained command of his machine. From another area comes the sound of pens scratching on paper as students desperately try to keep up with the teacher's dictating, as they put into practice the fundamentals of shorthand which they have been learning. With the scratch of his head and a cry of exasperation, a student looks up, wondering why in the world his prob- lem in bookkeeping didn't balance. Then in another room students try to remain calm as they work to master the use of diverse business machines. These courses of typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, business machines, and briefhand, a simplified method of notetaking, are offered by the business department so that the student may adequately prepare himself for college work or learn those skills which will aid him when he enters the world of com- petition after graduation. 22
