HERE WE GAINED USEFUL KNOWLEDGE In home economics classes we did a variety of things connected with the home. Seventh grade girls had a unit on baby sitting and grooming. In clothing they made shifts, scarves, and tote bags. Eighth graders had a unit on foreign foods and a more detailed unit on child development. Their clothing projects included skirts, blouses and shifts. Ninth graders elected one of two courses. In our sewing classes attention was focused on creativity and individuality. Baking and preparing simple dinners was emphasized in the Ninth grade general courses. A Christmas fashion show and a Spring show highlighted the year's activities. Industrial arts classes gave us insight into our mechanical world. We worked with our brawn as well as our brains through exploration in wood working and rafting to electricity and metal shop. This was a favorite class of many of us ecause we were able to do constructive work and see the physical results of our -work immediately. -4- D v., - I Mrs. Carmela Raack, Home Economics Dept.

Xfgmw ln Art we learned to develop our talents more fully by work- ing with others, tackling the varied assignments that were intro- duced to us by our teachers. Projects included working with water color, papier-mache, oil pastels, clay, poster paints, and charcoal. For those of us who wished to further our artistic abil ities, the Art Club was open to eighth and ninth graders. Among the many activities we participated in were the Fes- tival of the Arts and the annual exhibit at the Faulkner Gallery. Our musical experience began with the required music cours in the seventh grade. We also had the opportunity to participat in the Seventh Grade Chorus. Those of us who wished to continu in this field could join the eighth and ninth grade A Cappella, the Minority, or the Christmas or Spring Shows. Also, those who had an interest in musical instruments could be in the Band or Orchestra. These groups played for many school functions and appeared in many parades during the year.

The girls played many interesting sports including softball, speed-away, and basketball. They also learned dance and gymnastics. Ninth Grade girls tried archery in the fourth quarter. Girls could participate in after school sports, competing with girls from other junior high schools. To the right is one of their varied activities. Mrs. Biddulph races around the girls' field with some of her PE pro- teges. 1:1 InPE boys started the year playing touch football, and after a quarter of this, they switched to basketball. During the spring semester volleyball, followed by softball were enjoyed by the students. Once a week cross country was held during class time, H - and some boys ran it before school. Participation in after school sports to compete with other schools was encouraged. The sports boys could go out for were football, basketball, track, and baseball. The spirit of the c test was so great that many boys went out for each sport. In the picture at the left, Mr. Gill gets in some practice as he shows some of his fifth period boys how baskets are made. F
