 Our young people dream of future happy home life The mothers of teen-age girls and boys are finally able to take a breather in their daily routine of cooking for the family. The teenagers themselves arc donning the chef hats and aprons and are busy at work in the kitchen preparing that special dish, just-so. This time they are on their own, not being supervised by Miss Mar- garet Stevens, Lansdowne-Aldan High School practical arts teacher. The students were taught this culinary art in the fully equipped cooking room, experimenting with various dishes and techniques. When eyes are glued to patterns, and busy lingers are snipping into materials, and the whirr of the sewing machine is heard, one can be sure that our coeds are in the midst of creating some beautiful fashions. Being shown special skills by Mrs. Helen Stephens, these seamstresses sewed suits, blouses, dresses, and even baby clothes. In addition to the sewing and cooking, our young ladies learn to be the graceful mistresses ol their luture homes. Being able to set correct and stylish tables, knowing how to prepare sumptuous meals, and being able to run a home economically the girls of today, it is hoped, are developing into the efficient and charming women of tomorrow. i.

Arms on the intricacies oj a modern projector Our youth are cooperative and work hard The typical teenager in our school is no slouch. I le realizes that a person has to prepare carefully to accomplish a worthwhile goal. Life is not just a haphazard process, he learns. In our school, boys and girls spend several hours each day both in school and at home study- ing, writing notes and papers, answering ques- tions, and memorizing significant information. For some, this comes easy; for others, the pull is hard. Yet, future as well as momentary re- wards push many of our students into feverish activity during the school year. One of the proud praises that can be sung of our school is the cooperation of its youngsters. Without their giving of time and effort, many of the activities which are so important to growing adolescents would never reach the pay-oft. Newspaper headlines may captivate the eye with its blare of juvenile delinquency. However, our youngsters are for the most part hard workers, honest, sincere, and cooperative. We feel that they are typical American youth.
