Modern facilities as found in most up-to-date homes, were also found assisting and aiding many of the girls enrolled in home economic courses at Harold L. Richards. More emphasis was placed upon family skills and planning, in order that the homemaker would someday have more to offer her family. Food and clothing classes were given an extensive study, as was the close examination of nutritional and food value. Color plan- ning and home decorating proved popular. Imagination and technique was an important part of making draperies and cur- tains. Home nursing and child care, an important and necessary part of homemaking, were stressed all year and learning to make their clothes was a valuable skill to the girls. A Career Girls course was available to girls preparing for careers, but wishing to improve themselves as homemakers. lasses were filled with L utung a pattern vtere Sue Price and jll Mahal' as Sur QUHllYOChl Debbie St. Denis, jill Pries, Sandy Isaacson, Chris Hargis. and Camille Laskowski prac- Sandv Xlclxew and irwlla l'1sher read pattern em elopes in -id med fundamentals Ofsgmug Lhelablgv Girls engrossed in their individual projects were Rosemary Pore, Kathy Miller, Marilyn Peterson, janet Crowhurst, and Sharon O'Conor. x ft t - l 4

Industrial shops guided students Mr. Rodie explained to Nick Hargis, Rick Coiiboy. and Ed Bradshaw how grooves in pieces of wood were made by using a lathe. The Industrial Arts Department contained electric, auto, ma- chine, print, drafting, and wood shops. These shops were valu- able in preparing the boys for these respective trades, Many of the students used their shop knowledge as stepping stones in preparation for engineering and architectural schools. Shops were enhanced by the addition of machines tools, work benches, and other new equipment. All shops in the de- partment sported a new look in their second year of existence. Teachers of the department conducted classes that varied from working with metal to electronics. Skillful reasoning and sharp reflexes proved to be necessities in the handling of power tools. All experiences in these courses were valuable, because many professions today require some knowledge of the industrial arts field.
