Materials, tools, processes, jobs, products, organizations, and problems of industry are studied with special emphasis on their relation to human beings. Work habits are developed through reading texts, visiting factories, planning projects and using tools and materials in the field of wood and metal working, electricity, ceramics, printing, and textiles. The students learn to be a very important part of our industrial society. VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE Having been revised this past year, the voca- tional agriculture department is now geared more closely to fill the needs of boys of the Hilton area in occupations in agriculture. These occupations include production, marketing, research, sales service, engineering, and farming. Lectures, texts, and field trips help to provide the knowledge nec- essary in these occupations. Practical experience is also an important part of this department. Super- vised programs include assisting farm operations, ownership of livestock and equipment, and in- vestment in crops and other enterprises. All of these aids in developing skills connected with agri- culture. Agriculture and Industrial Arts. Mr. .l. B. Hilton Hmmmmm, this is the half mark, what comes next?

Pineapple fudge what?! HOME ECONOMICS The Senior High Home Economics department is concerned primarily with preparing students for life after high school and college. In home- making I students learn about basic food prepara- tion and meal planning. In the second part of the course, students learn to care for the sick and injured in the home. In homemaking H, students learn first basic sewing techniques and later, art principles and consumer education in relation to homes and their furnishings. Those students in homemaking IH learn advanced food techniques, tailoring, marriage and family living, and child care. Homemaking V, open to both juniors and seniors, stresses the importance of adequate pre- paration for marriage and the problems and solu- tions common to many young marrieds. Through all these courses, the home economics department prepare students for life after graduation. This year the Junior High Homemaking course lasts 20 weeks. The seventh grade homemaking course is concerned mainly with foods and nutri- tion. Students, under the direction of Mrs. Kincaid, learn to prepare foods and then learn the value of these foods. The emphasis of the eighth grade homemaking course, on the other hand, is placed on sewing. Mrs. Kincaid and Mrs. Granger help each girl make her own jumper. Row One: Mrs. L. Schade. Row Two: Mrs. W.
