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. Home Economics, FHA Advisor Cheerleader Advisor VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE Learning the application of practical farm- ing techniques is the major concern of Voca- tional Agriculture students. The study includes classroom lectures and discussions, student home projects, and work in the shop. Agri- Business, a new course offered iq Vo-Ag., lets students receive on-the-job training in farm related jobs. Alder is in a rural district, and this course is very popular. W' JAMES ADAMS, M. A.

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.
