Sammy Wofford and Ray Sanford strive for a perfect drawing in their mechanical drawing class. RIGHT: Miss Henry proudly brings forth the food at the homemaking tea honoring the foreign students. Fine Arts, Vocational Departments Business, Art Pursued by Scots Stenography takes a lot of practice as Ruthie Lehman demonstrates. 30 HClatter, clatter, clatter, clatter . . . bing! is the noise that is omnipresent in the typing room. Short- hand, elementary accounting, business math, business law, and typing are the courses at Hi Park which prepare a student for a career in business. To prepare for careers as homemakers, girls may take courses in sewing and cooking. In the homemaking department one learns about fabrics, design, and color as well as food purchasing, meal planning, and nutri- tion. Phases of home and family life are also studied. ln courses corresponding to homemaking for the girls, the boys at Hi Park are offered wood and metal shops. They study the application of wood finishing, cabinet making, and restoring antiques. For students musically inclined toward instruments, Hi Park has a band and an orchestra, and for those interested in vocal music there are two special choruses, the Lads and Lassies and the Highlandaires. These groups perform in assemblies throughout the year and many times are presented at programs out- side of school. Artists turn their attention to drawing, painting, and crafts offered in the three years of art courses. These consist of graphic, commercial, display, and stage art. Posters and murals designed by these artists deck the halls of Hi Park.
