,ai Home EC Advisers The Vocational and General Home- making Department was changed this year from a two-year elective course to a three-year elective course. Miss DOROTHY Hovis, Superior Street, Grove City, teaches vocational home- making and has been adviser of the Fu- ture Homemakers of America for the past five years. She graduated from ln- diana College with a B.S. degree. The first year in the course includes the care of equipment, food preparation, preservation and nutrition, good groom- ing, clothing selection and construction, child care and development, personal and social relationships. The second year consists of tailoring, food and nutrition, family relationship, consumer buying, home planning, fur- nishings and home nursing. The third year includes textiles, ad- 18 vanced tailoring and clothing, homebuys and leisure time activities, budgets and family finance. Also, refinishing of fur- niture, interior decorating, vocations allied to homemaking, and advanced foods such as preparation for parties and luncheons. Miss MAXINE DICKEY, 696 Cedar Ave- nue, Sharon, received a B.S. degree from Pennsylvania State College.

Science lnstruclors Realizing the value of science in train- ing the mind to think clearly and the practical importance of the information gained by its study, Hickory has greatly enlarged the scope of its science depart- ment in the last few years. Our facilities include a chemistry lab- oratory equipped with the necessary apparatus and chemicals and a biology laboratory equipped with microscopes and various exhibits which permit stu- dents to comprehend the wonders of sci- ence more readily. Beginning in the fourth grade and continuing through to the eighth grade, an elementary course in science is taught which deals with simple, basic facts about the universe, plants and animals, and energy. Freshman general science is a culmination of this information with more detail being stressed. Arranged in classes according to the needs, interests, and abilities of the indi- vidual student, sophomores are required to study biology which discusses all as- pects of the plant and animal kingdoms and their environments. As an elective, juniors and seniors may choose general, college preparatory, or advanced chemistry which deal with the different kinds of matter and their chem- ical behavior. 20 Physics, an elective for seniors, con- cerns the physical behavior of matter and energy. Miss MINNIE BEVLYN graduated with a B.S. degree from Slippery Rock, where she resides, and recently obtained her Masters in Education from the Univers- ity of Pittsburgh. At Hickory for twelve years, she teaches chemistry and is sci- ence club adviser. MR. GEORGE HOLLIBAUGH, Fredonia, has been teaching biology at Hickory for three years. He possesses a B.S. degree from Slippery Rock and a Masters in Science from Cornell University. MR. CHARLES SNYDER, Sharon-Mercer Road, football coach at Hickory for the past four years, teaches general science, and also coaches the junior high basket- ball team. Receiving his B.S. degree from Thiel College, he has done graduate work at Pennsylvania State College and taught at Farrell before coming to Hick- or . ilVIR. ROBERT WEBSTER, 823 Crowder Avenue, Sharon, obtained a B.S. degree from Slippery Rock and is doing grad- uate work at Penn State. He has been teaching junior high geography, includ- ing science, at Hickory for three years and formerly taught one year at Sugar- creek Township.
