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.

The nurse is one of the most important members of I . the staff. She must take care of all the minor ills and L ' ' E - accidents that befall some of the many people at La N l Cumbre. Many of us went to her with the flu or some V . other ailment necessitating going home. Her dedica- tion and interest in us made her a very important factor in making the year a memorable one. Karen Oueilhe was just one of the many students who visited the nurse, Mrs. Saunders, during the year. THEY ICEPTIZUEFEPJENCEQ PEADY The library has a collection of approximately 10,000 volumes.
