SPECIALIZ ING. . . Great has been the discovery that all knowledge does not come from books, but indirectly through the guidance and wisdom of teachers. Many specialties have been added to our school curriculum throughout the years. A top favorite in this category is sewing which includes fashion designing, personal styling, and tailoring as well as the basic knowledge of fine sewing. Gar- ments made in these classes are modeled in our annual Spring Show. Cooking classes in which the preparation of both quantity and individual dishes is thoroughly practiced are also in demand. Many of cur tasty cafeteria dishes are pre- pared in these classes. Additional experi- ences are offered during the preparation for class teas, special luncheons, and other extra activities. Variety is one of the outstanding attrac- tions of the numerous art classes. Throughout the year students gain experience in metal work, textile designing, simple weaving, oil and silk screen painting, block printing, poster work, fashion designing, newspaper layouts, and wood or plaster carving. Prac- tical expeeience was offered to members of the interior decorating class through the re- decorating of the Practice Apartment with the reupholstering of chairs and the addi- tion of colorful pillows. Clerical work provided through typing and shorthand are popular with many stu- dents while others select the course on how to care for children in the nursery. These and many more are studied throughout the day, together with the subjects required of each student, for increasing knowledge and interest. The distributive education class gives credit for experience gained from clerk- in stores in the afternoons.
