Fine Points about F amily and Food The home economics courses are planned to meet the needs of all high school students, non-college and college-bound students. They offer experiences in home care of the sick, home furnishing, interior dec- oration, clothing and textiles, foods and nutrition and housing, child development and family living. Play school is an interesting area in this depart- ment. Children are brought by their parents to attend a half day. The children are given an opportunity to draw, play, and meet other children their own age. In this way, home economics students get experience as they learn the fine points of child care. Nancy Burnette, Mrs. Camp, Jean Tepper, Jean Maxey, and Holly Crockett work in home furnishings. Alice Cooke, Faye Wilkins, Miss Humphries, Barbara Munson, and Patricia Marshall prepare a hot lunch. Mrs. Joyce A. Laura Camp, B.S. Humphries, M.S. Sue Lawrence, Nicky Carter, John Goolsby, Rose- mary Camp, and Mary Joan Nemtz enjoy outside activities while attending play school.

Machinery Aids Amateurs agi Modern machinery adds to the development of skills among industrial arts students. The handsome new machinery, spacious area, and modern design of the George Wythe shop enables students in industrial arts to develop skill in handling instruments, tools, and machines as well as to strength- en habits of orderly procedure, safety, and inquisitive- ness. Industrial arts students work in these fields: draft- ing, wood working, plastics, metal working, graphic arts, power mechanics, leatherworking, electricity and electronics, ceramics, and textiles. The total program allows the students to gain newer and broader concepts in the use of techniques, mate- rials and processes.
