Home Economic Courses at H. H. S. sought to make the student aware of the value of a good home. These future homemakers learned to cook for their families and to plan and make many use¬ ful garments. Their study of family life and child development called attention to the importance of happy marriage and parenthood. The instructional program placed em¬ phasis on health, food and nutrition, clothing, working co-operatively in groups, as well as the techniques of housekeeping. These courses helped the student to meet the actualities of every¬ day life and become trained for solving future problems. Shop Classes prepare boys for home workshop or industrial jobs. Industrial arts classes at H. H. S. offer a variety of experiences for boys interested in practical courses. Mechanical drawing classes provided training in de¬ tail drawings, house plans and blue prints. In metal work the boys learn many useful techniques, and the vocational courses offered in the Junior and Senior years, gave students an opportunity for part-time work experiences. All these experiences helped the students to solve construction problems and to achieve skill with their hands. They gained an industrial and mathematical vocabulary, secured valuable consumer information and paved the way for future vocations. Page Nineteen
