Clothing students, with the as¬ sistance of Miss Florene Gooch, new home economics teacher, presented a fashion show on November 17 in the auditorium. Young seamstresses modeled their ensembles before par¬ ent spectators. First and second-year foods classes concentrated on simple foods such as salads.

Ricky ignores the rattle and the inexper¬ ienced hands of Norma Chavez and La- vonia Patterson. 26

Driver’s Training, required for graduation without credit, related in¬ formation on the functioning of mo¬ tor vehicles as well as operating skills. After obtaining beginner ' s permits, students signed up from study halls for a five-week period of lessons. Pupils received booklets and mimeographed sheets contain¬ ing the rules of the road.
