ANNE FLORIANO, B. S. Home Economics F.H.A. Adviser Eighth Grade Sponsor BURNESS CANDOO. Home Economics F.H.A. Sponsor B. S. Wame Z ' Homcmaking I is a study of the simple things in homemaking. During the first semester the girls learn to plan and prepare a simple break- fast and luncheon and study the different meth- ods of food preservation. First Aid, one of the most beneficial units in this course, teaches the girls the proper procedure to take in an emer- gency and what to do if a person is badly burned or injured. The second semester deals with grooming, manners, and sewing on cotton. Food and meal planning continues in Home- making II with informal and semi-formal din- ners the principal topic. A unit is devoted to flower arrangement with some lovely displays being made by the girls. Another unit on home nursing gives the girls practical experience in this field. A study of textiles and the making of an article from wool complete their study on clothing. Homemaking III is available to those who wish to continue their study of family relations, grooming, manners, and advanced sewing dur- ing the first semester, and interior decorating in the second semester. The situation with the girls in homemaking class is just sew, sew, and more sewing. 22

The teachers in the Music Department not only train and present for public appearances the band and vocal groups but also teach individuals and class- es in the use of voice and the instrument. For ex- ample, Mrs. Relyea has voice classes on both junior and senior high levels and a junior glee club of pupils who just like to sing. In this way, a number of really good voices have been located. In the same manner, rhythm band work in the primary grades under Miss Barden and a song flute group of inter- mediate pupils prepare the way for regular band in- struments and membership in the Cadet Band. Dave Mancour and Nancy Sutliff sing a duet while the rest of the EUNICE RELYEA, A.B Vocal Music, Biology voice class warble in accompaniment. Jean Crawford, Lola Sawyer, Jane Hill, Charles Green, John Schoen- field and Harold Jones ready to improve their technique. 5 h X 7 ,xx A 7 '-'QS iv, ml VJ' Nu ARTHUR THORSBY Band, Orchestra

Is it an earthquake? Is it an atomic bomb? No, it's just the Agriculture boys working on their blasting project. The agriculture classes under the supervision of Mr. Jewett have studied Crops, Animal Husbandry, Butcher- ing, Farm Management and Pruning. Fre- quently Mr. Jewett lets the boys lay down their books and takes them on a field trip. These trips are enjoyable and give practical experience to the boys. One call from any neighboring farmer who wishes to have a job done sends the agriculture boys on their way. Sometimes the job is pruning or planting trees, and other times they are even called to butcher or survey. Therefore you can see that these boys learn by doing as well as by reading the facts to be found in books. JOSEPH JEWETT, B. S. Agriculture 4-H, F.F.A. gags L.. f I . . , L-1.
