LIBRARY New Social Studies Library Benefits Students LIBRARY Science was a course tak- en by a limited number of our students. They learned how to use the library to its full advantage and at the same time gave aid to Miss Curry, librarian. Recognizing the need for students to have a quiet place to study, our school library remained open three evenings a week. Besides the school library, a new social studies library was located in the new addition. This library was available to all students and proved to be especially helpful when term-paper time came a- round. The social studies library was one of the many new features of the new addition. Library aides Linda Dillon and Jim Brewer are seen at one of their many jobs. The library is used as a quiet place for study by these LHS athletes. 25

HOME ECONOMICS Spring Show is Highlight of Tear From dirty pots and pans, dish pan hands and burned fingers, come the homemakers of tomorrow. FOODS classes were taught at the sophomore and advanced levels. Much attention was given to the planning and preparation of well-balanced meals. The advanced classes experimented with cook- ing foreign foods. Highlights of the year were a field trip to the kitchen of the Lawrence hospital and the spring show. At this time the foods classes prepared the refreshments which were served to the guests. FAMILY LIVING was taught one hour this year. This course included such areas as home life, interior decorating, planning a house, and budget work. The girls de- parted from class routine to take a trip to a local department store. CLOTHING students worked on the age- old female problem of never having anything to wear. The classes were concerned with helping the girls with such problems as how to select fabrics and how to be well-dressed in addition to instructing them in sewing skills. The main feature of the year was the annual spring fashion show. At this time the girls had a chance to model their fash- ions in public. In addition, many of their products were displayed in hall showcases during the year. From a confusion of needles, material, patterns and thread, come many of the most fashionable clothes seen in the LHS halls. 26
