The art department at Washington has taken the upper halls of the school for it's own art gallery by displaying minor masterpieces. This display shows what progess is being made in this department. This art program enables the students interested in all aspects of art to enter into most any field. Whether it's drawing, painting, or sketching, a little bit of each per- son's feelings, ideas, and talent enter into their pictures. This department offers c raft art, commercial art, lettering, jewelry, a n d ad- vanced courses in craft and art. Earlier in the year Washington had several projects on dis- play at the Senior High School Art Exhibit at the John Herron Art Museum. Each year these students at Washington have on display their talent in the Scholastic Art Exhibition. We are fortunate to have this fine program th a t has won many contest awards. The awards th a t are given are blue ribbons, gold keys, and hon- orable mentions. Many honors are awarded to the teachers and students of this department. 23 GOING PLACES?

Eleanor Firestone serves at the Leadership Luncheon given to honor outstanding Ajunior and senior pupils. 24 Ranging from freshmen to seniors, the stu- dents at Washington High School often include home economics as one of their elected sub- jects. The two major divisions are foods and sewing classes. In the sewing classes the girls learn to read and use patterns, making every- thing from blouses to formals. Advancement is also an important part of the foods classes. The students begin in foods by working direct- ly in the labs and preparing simple dishes. In the advanced foods classes the girls and boys serve formal dinners and also the monthly Business Men's Luncheon. Other divisions in the home economics department include Home Hygiene, Family Living, and Home Manage- ment. Any one of these many home economics courses is instructive as well as preparatory and will play an important part in the future lives of the Washington High School students.
