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.

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.

WARREN C. BARRY Boston St. Teacher's B.S. JAMES MERCER East Carolina B.S. WATCH YOUR FlNGERS ! Mr. Shears proves his point. The Industrial Arts Department is an important part of the school program. Its purpose is to give the student a background in the various types of work which are the basis of American industry. It also helps the student make a better choice of a career for himself. Several courses are offered in the Industrial Arts De- partment, but mechanical drawing is basic to all. This subiect teaches the student how to show an exact pic- ture of an obiect for which a written description would be inadequate. The making of useful articles from wood is one of the oldest crafts as well as one of today's prominent industries. This important craft is taught in woodshop. Many varied projects, from the simplest kind of woodworking to the most complex, are produced. Metal shop is a similiar course designed to teach the most recent methods of producing useful metal obiects. GEE, DAD! IT'S A WULITZER! Mr. Mercer shows the boys the finer points of woodworking.
