Foods class tries a new cake recipe and samples some interesting results Students walking down B-hall often met with appetizing aromas coming from the foods classes. A new microwave oven allowed students to try more complicated recipes and cook and eat their creations on the same day. Occasionally results were not satisfying. One foods class mixed the canisters of soap and flour. The group, while eating their beige-colored cake, tasted the soap and realized their mistake. More boys continued to enroll in the foods courses to go along with the changing roles of our society. Some, however, entered foods courses to prepare themselves for the growing opportunities in commercial food preparation. The nine week home economics section of consumer education provided a good background in home man- agement of money, time, and energy for students' future, domestic lives. Student preparation of balanced meals is one of the foods classes' objectives. Using an orange for juice Qabove, leftj helps a student fulfill a well rounded menu.

The printing program consisted of a section in industrial arts survey, graphic arts, and vocational courses which presented infor- mation found in first or second year college courses. Updated equipment, processes, and new presses assisted students in improving their work. Other courses geared their activities to projects similiar to those of modern industry. Students learned to operate lathes in general metals and machine shop to help them prepare for future trades. Those in auto mechanics worked on student and faculty automobiles to gain practical experience in automotive produc- tion, repair, and maintenance.
