A Broad Education Motivation for studying in the social studies classes has been increased by using creative and interesting ways of teaching. World geography students enjoyed the light-game method of reviewing for a test, while pupils in world history conducted an extensive study of the Middle East wars. Learning the proper way to file an income tax report was a project of the P.O.D. classes. In the consumer economics classes, students became familiar with the functions of manufacturing and selling. Mr. Hopkins points out the value of consumer economics in world relations. JOYCE VAN FOSSEN, B.S. American History Civics P. O. D. Y-Teen Advisor I RONALD HOPKINS, B.S. World History Geography Con.

Home Economics FHA Advisor Home Economics Future homemakers at Alder generally re- ceive their basic training in the home economics department. With courses offered in foods, clothing, interior decorating, child care and family living, the students are given a good idea of what it takes to manage a home effici- ently. This year the department boosted several girls to apply to the State Homemakers' Degree. The major emphasis in the Industrial Arts Department is on the values of practical use. The boys are taught the use of major tool implements and are encouraged to apply their abilities in the construction of useful objects. At least once a month, the boys display their work in a special showcase in the school lobby. Mr. Hay constructed a doll house to be decorated by the Home Ec girls. Industrial Arts Home Ec girls display their special talents by pre- paring a special tea for the hungry male faculty members. 26
