The Homemaking Department offers courses in food, clothing, and family living. During the past year, students took field trips to General Foods, Continental Baking Co., and the Fashion Institute of Technology. Representatives from the Simplicity Patterns Co., the Pellon Co., and the McCall's Pattern Co. lectured clothing classes. Four girls represented Harrison High on the B. Altman Fashion Board for high school students. Eight girls participated in the Interior Design Workshop which was sponsored by Macy's White Plains store in connection with Seventeen maga- zine. A new application of skills and tools character- ized the Shop Department this year. The use of personal touches and new combinations of mate- rials and methods was emphasized. The results were a product of both the students' skills and imagination. Auto Mechanics class shows substitute where to find the engine.

Creativity The aim of this year's Music Department was to cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation of music. The new theory class worked to develop a knowledge of harmony and basic music theory. They also sought to develop ear training . Musicians gained valuable experience as performers through an exchange program with Purchase and Rye Schools. Under Mr. Fagin, a new addition to the department, many students prepared for their solo debuts. Mr. Gerald Fishman Mechanical Drowing Ceramics Jr. Closs Under the supervision of the Art Depart- ment, students combined artistic principles and purpose in order to create posters for the annual American Cancer Society competition. Posters were also made for the American Automobile Association and the Student Aid Fund. Both these projects encourage original and meaningful self-expression. Julie Rothstein makes lunch.
