Wanda Becker, Carol Cate, and June Ellsworth learn the art of graceful serving. Every girl needs a course in homemaking— just in case. At Groveton 177 girls take part in this program where potential homemakers gather skills for their hope chests. To the eighth grade girls an exploratory course is offered which lasts nine weeks. Other classes participate in Home Ec. I, II, and a com¬ bined group of third and fourth year students. By using the most modern electrical equip¬ ment available the girls practice the essential skills for every homemaker—sewing and cook¬ ing. Aromas in our halls confirm this! In preparation for vocations after gradua¬ tion, girls touch on such varied subjects as nu¬ trition and dietetics, child care, and interior decorating. The Home Economics Department is also a service to the school in that it is a place where groups of a professional or social nature can be entertained. For study purposes, the department includes a living room, bedroom, and two large kitchens. Diana Dewey, Pat Banigan and Barbara Callahan enjoy their cooking class. Eating what they prepare makes it twice as nice. Carol Ernst and Diane Lyons spruce up the Home Economics Depart¬ ment living room. Girls Gain Practical Experience in Home Economics Miss Caricofe lends a hand with the fitting of Margaret Munson s dress which she made in Home Ec. Page Twenty

Almost 300 students take part in the choral and instrumental music department. In the choral department, the eighth grade chorus made its debut at Christmas and appeared again in the Spring Concert. All other grades participate in the Girls’ Chorus, Mixed Chorus, or Symphonic Choir. ■ Some eighth graders are instrumen¬ talists too, so they enter Reserve Band which is designed to train students for work during high school in the Golden Tiger Concert Band, whose members participate in sectional class lessons once a week. Trombonists Jinx James, Bob Sargent, Mike Usher, Peter Larson and Bobby Parker pose during their Instrumental Class Lesson. Sandra Collier, Minnie Lou Davis and Judy Hall accompany the Groveton Choruses at their public performances, as well as during practice.

Ring around the language tree; here at Groveton there are three. The fun and practi¬ cality of speaking a language other than your own has been discovered by over 479 students in Groveton’s Language Department. They study a variety of subjects from four years of Latin, French or Spanish down to a General Language Course in the 8th Grade containing a basis in each of the three. Students cover grammar, vo¬ cabulary and, in the modern languages, such every day necessities as the form of a letter, the numbers and pronounciation. Anne Marie Hiebol, Gil Lorenz, Violet Olson, Louisa Frank, Bobbie Robbins and Earnest Williams meet at Gil’s car for their trip to the Moray Fren ch Opportunities in Three Bill Taylor seems to be amused by B.
