I 'Q 6 0 1 I A far cry from the mortar and pestle of the Indians ls the instru- ment Jerry Litrenta wields as he and girlfriend Janet Connolly pre- pare an experiment for Mr. W1lkerson's chemistry class. The choice of the proper laboratory partner always helps to make the class more interesting. Again in the commercial depart- ment, Horlick girls receive training which will prepare them for jobs in Racine offices or for taking lecture notes for that all-important college exam. Mrs. Connolly makes short- hand particularly meaningful for Janice Felbob fforegroundl, Jean Foreman, Sally O'Nel1, Betty St. Amand, cmd Hunaz Hazarian. Students gathered eagerly around the demonstration table are in the biology lab under the direction of Miss Houg. Here John ts the center of attraction for Evelyn Petersen, Allan Bahr, Carol Stephen, Dave Iselin, and Shirley Hendrickson. Diana Benson does a little investi- gating on her own. Tangents, bi-sectors, planes, and other mysterious items are the stock -in-trade of the mathematics depart- -ment, and in particular of the sophomore students who take geo- metry. Although Shirley Schwertteger and most of the class seem inter- ested ln Miss Shaw's explanation of a theorem, Frank Glandlnoto directs his attention elsewhere.

One of the popular subjects offer- ed in the Practical Arts Division is printing offered by Mr. Wackman. In addition to learning the techniques of the printing industry, the boys learn composition, writing, and arrangement. In this picture we find Eddie Krusienski, Arlen Koenigsreiter, and Sarkis Keochekian setting type under the not-so-watchful eye of Mr. Wack- man. waded A fall activity that continues all year long, through the summer, and often throughout the working careers of Horllck girls is the activity that begins in the commercial department. Concentratinq on that extra-long typing assignment are Janet Bergs- baken, Marg Hansen, Marilyn Schmall, Audrey Marck, and Helen Just. Miss Rumage helps Helen with a difficult word. The girls don't take printing as a rule, but neither do the boys take advantage of the fine courses offer- ed by Miss Wilson and Miss Patton in the home economics department. The girls design and make their own garments in the sewing class, and often that chic dress a girl wears to school is her own creation. See if you can recognize anyone besides Elleanore Snyder! Transferring his activities from both the electrical shop and the drafting room, Mr. Henderson is here shown with his drafting students. Don Hyatt is receiving the benefit of Mr. Henderson's instruction at the moment, but Don Bruno, Jim Carring- ton, Dave Chernouski, and Ed Fteichel seem to be concentrating a bit more diligently than usual.

Relaxing with magazines occasionally when the day's study is finished isa favorite pastime of Horlick's students. Among those who are enjoying the library are Roy Bernard, Faith Chapin, and J. L.aPour. Driving with Mr. Curtis are Beth Quigley, Adele Fiskum, and Lucille Jung. Driving, one of Horlick's most practi- cal half-time subjects is taught both semesters. The students start with the theory of driving and laws, after which they obtain learner's permits from the police depart- ment. The rest of the course consists of driving practice, and the final exam is for the student's state driving license. and One of the hardest-working, but seemingly least appreciated groups of Horlick is the orchestra, pictured at the left. Working under Mr. Hub- bard' s direction for an hour each day, the students still find time for that extra hour or two of daily musical practice which makes a superior musical organization. Practicing while this picture was taken, we find Judy Meyers, Leigh Septon, Joyce Levandowski, Alyce Galeckas, Donna Love, Joanne Berg. Mary Meldonian, Pat Petersen, Joyce Bergsbaken, Becky Howard, Mary Benson, LaVerne Dunn, Suran Cha- lekian, Murad Arganian, Glenn Nech- uta, Abel Carreno, Janet Bergsbaken, and Sara Keishicm. Recording the results of the physics experiment performed by Merle Freeman and Ronald Moser are Marilyn Olson, Glenn Hubbard, and Russ Wishau. ?mz! One of the many duties performed by the printing department is the publishing of the Herald. Hard at work over copy are these sixth hour printing students.
