Many of the boys applied their abilities in the construction of useful objects and displayed and sold clocks, wall plaques, and other articles at the Arts Festival in May. WALTER HAY, Industrial Arts B.S. CHARLOTTE BOYD, M. A. Home Economics FHA Advisor ART Art classes sponsored creative displays twice during the year; one at the Arts Festival and one at Christmas. In this department pupils worked with chalks, water colors, clay, paper mache, and charcoal. Several students volunteered their time and talents to work on decorations for the proms. The department also helped to brighten up our school by decorating bulletin boards around the school all year. 26 JOHN COOKE, B. A. Art

INTENSIVE OFFICE EDUCATION SCIENCE Questioning minds delve into the scientific world of frogs, acids, and equations. Freshmen in Gen- eral Science attended the annual Soil Conservation field trip in London. In biology, students work on projects, to help them better understand living things around them. Assisting in Biology as a student teacher this year was Mr. Brunskill from Wittenberg Univer- sity. Chemistry students saw sci- entific laws illustrated by conduct- ing various lab experiments. Along with Archimedes; Newton; and Einstein, seniors in Physics ponder the mysteries of Physical Sciences. Senior I. O. E. girls rushed to Room 11 to see the new office equipment that had been promised to them. But, to everyone's dismay, none of the equipment had been delivered. As the weeks went by, disap- pointments became greater and greater as the girls waited. Finally on October 15, the new and shiny desks arrived and were soon followed by office chairs This new furniture together with the addition of the new Electronic Calculators have made Intensive Of- fice Education an authentic office experience. Connie Nicol operates one of the new Calculators. DOROTHY SAYRE, A.B. Business Education, Yearbook Advisor 25

Paitmti, Patofatg flwb Pfowjoes HOME ECONOMICS Family living, one of the many courses offered in home economics, became very popular this year. Of the 33 students taking this course, 20 were boys. Family living gives students a better idea of how to man- age a home efficiently and for the first time these classes learned how to cook. Other Home Ec. courses offered were in foods, clothing, interior decorating and child care. Several of the departments took trips to the center of Science and In- dustry and also visited a house trailer. The cooking classes were given a demon- stration on how to operate an electronic range. The Home Ec. department was fortunate in having two very enthusiastic and talented student teachers from O. S. U. MARY ELLEN CLARK, B. S.
