The wedding is an interesting topic in the family living class. We Practice Homemaking and Study Family Living The homemaking and family living classes prepare us for our responsibilities as the homemakers of tomorrow. Sixty per cent of our girls are enrolled in the homemaking classes. In the clothing classes we learn to make our own clothes. By learning to make our own clothes we demonstrate our knowledge of fashions, fabrics, and sewing methods. Planning and preparing attractive, nourishing meals and learning the role of a gracious host are important objectives of the foods courses. In our family living classes we consider our future. The knowledge we gain through class discussion, films, textbooks, and supplementary reading makes marriage, the home, and the family take on a deeper significance. Pat and Tom share the wedding cake at the reception. Carolyn Andersen, acting as the preacher, unites Pat Podobir.ski and Tom Giachetto in marriage in a mock wedding ceremony.

A class in physics works on an experiment. We Understand the Importance of Modern Science About two-thirds of our students are enrolled in the science courses. All freshmen take general science, and all sophomores study biology. In biology we learn about living organisms. Through field trips, discussion, and laboratory experience, we become familiar with life around us. As a foundation for careers as technicians, physicists, and engineers, we study physics. In the chemistry lab we become acquainted with atomic structure, exothermic reactions, and countless wonders of science.
