The Art Department of Lee High School has endeavored to instill in its three hundred students a realization of the rewards and challenges that an understanding of the arts can bring to each individual. ln these singular methods, Mr. Benedict, Mrs. Gardner and Mrs. Hull have taught that art has reflected the evolution of all cultures, that the elements of art can be both enjoyable and fulfilling, and that art is an integral part of our lives. This active department sponsored the visit to the Guggenheim Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The department sponsored the First Annual Art Show in affiliation with the Art Guild, another important branch of an effective and often underrated department.

Making the home a happy and comfortable place to live is an art and a science. That is the reason for teaching homemaking at Lee. Homemaking draws knowledge from many fields, including problems. Instruction is made personal for students by teaching them how to dress becomingly, eat properly, care for their homes, and live happily with their families. Such skills as cooking, sewing, caring for the sick, and children, and budgeting of time, money and energy are emphasized. Homemaking offers the student much assistance in personality development. It teaches the importance of good citizenship and of taking an active part in social and civic affairs. Taking a homemaking course enables the student to become a better member of his family and thus a better citizen of the world. BARBARA GOTT Univ. of Louisville B.S.
