HOME ECCNOMICS BRIGHTEN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES Everyone knows of homes that seem to run like clockwork. The house is al- ways tidy and meals are on time, but still the housewife never seems to be over- worked. She has time for outside activities. Her secret is good home manage- ment. In our Home Economics classes we learned the basic skills in cooking, sew- ing and making the home a happy and comfortable place in which to live. Home Economic students, Marian McHugh, Maveen jones, Barbara Nanci, and Penny Anson, exhibit their handicrafts.

World history informed us of the civilizations of the seven continents of the world and the rapid growth of numerous types of government. By studying the peoples of distant lands we developed a toleration for customs, beliefs, and ways of life that differ from our own. The formation of the original thirteen states and the early beginnings of our nation's government were important stepping-stones in American history. For seniors Problems of Miss Krasovic Democracy was an excellent preparation for entering the business world or furthering our educations. The knowledge that we gained in politics, banking and finance, and economics will readily be put to practice in the near future. All of the phases of social studies taught us to think for ourselves and to seek the truth before making important decisions. .4 Mr. Sakaluk Mr. Dautlick Mr. Schultz Mr. Esper Mr. Clees examines United States History projects made by john Florchak, Clara Hoter, Al Mathews, and Bahnak. 27
