Students Employ Skills Many hours of de- veloping new and useful skills are spent in the classes of home econom- ics and shop. Future homemakers learn several techniques of sewing and cooking from their able teacher, Mrs. Heyden. Students passing by the room are often distracted by the enticing odor of cinna- mon rolls pervading the halls or the whir of busy sewing machines. Shop students spend their hour learning skills such as the construction of pieces of furniture and sports equipment. The never-ending task of increasing one's wardrobe is solved in various unique and tasteful methods during one of the several home economics classes. 23

The adding machine plays an important role in book- keeping, where students such as Lynn Nickerl learn the many problems of a properly run business. Business Courses Well Attended The business minded find their thirst for knowledge quenched in Mrs. Greene's typing, shorthand, and book- keeping classes. All offer skills useful to every person throughout his life. Starting in their sopho- more year, nearly all students take typing. Most find it a course useful throughout the remainder of school and on through life. Next in line are shorthand and bookkeeping. Shorthand is often taken by persons wishing to speed up note taking, while bookkeeping is a course explaining basic accounting and paperwork. Cheryl Thurman finds the flow- ing rhythm of shorthand not so smooth as one might expect. Whether planning to enter the business field or not, students in- terested in acquiring skill in typing find the course a rewarding one.

Science Explored In an attempt to satisfy the ever-growing need for science in today's modern world, Henleyites venture eagerly with a healthy curi- osity into the realms of biology, chemistry, and physics. Eyes and ears as well as minds must be alert to the instru- ments used to uncover the secrets of our world. Many of these end- less mysteries are unveiled through the lens of a microscope or the window of a cathode ray oscilloscope such as the one seen below. The students shown on these pages are a few of the many indus- trious scientists of Henley. Their paths for the future are carefully laid by resourceful teachers during these years.
