CL asses L. P. H. S. is very fortunate to have in its curriculum many vocational departments. Among these are food preparation, business courses, sewing and machine shop. These subjects are not required but many students choose them as they will help them in later life. In the food preparation class students learn how to prepare a well balanced meal. The advanced shorthand students learn office practices and how to transcribe letters. Learn- ing how to repair a sewing machine is as im- portant as knowing how to use one in the sew- ing classes. In machine shop they learn to make parts for machines and tools.
