In shop class the boys work on various projects under Mr. Heller ' s direction. From Home Economics to Business to Shop were three steps of education provided for Leo students. During the first semester the Home Economics class- es studied food preparations, buying foods, and serv- ing meals. Sewing was studied during the second semester. The 7th grade worked in the area of needlecraft while some of the other classes did a fabric study and learned how to read patterns. The advanced class worked on wool suits. Aiding in the total development of a student of Business, Mrs. Mumma and Mr. Getting guided the students through shorthand, typing, business math, and clerical office practice. Along with the text, each student was given training in posture, poise, and personality, plus the arts of mimeographs, thermofax, stencils and ledgers. Leading the boys in the shop, Mr. Heller gave his time, skills, and patience in the finer points of manual art, automobiles, and wood construction pro- jects. Machine know-how and safety were stressed as the boys learned to use the shop ' s tools. Vocational Art Students The 7th grade Home Economics tried their hand at knitting while Mrs. Harrah helped Pam Hobson. During a demonstration for the Home Economics class, Robin Timmerman styled Susan Howard ' s hair. 20

Mr. Piatt, instructing his Driver Education class in the mechanics of using a car. The senior high art students studied fine art and commercial art. The classes gave reports of fine art and modern art. A study of different artists and their works was also undertaken. Mr. Freeze assumed Mrs. Rees ' duties in the second semester. The Jun- ior High studied color theory for water colors by making value charts and color wheels. Last year the drafting class was instructed in draw- ing machine parts and reading blue prints by Mr. Divelbiss. Their chief goal was to furth er their knowledge for a career in drafting. The health classes made reports and posters on the Dody systems. They became better acquainted with the functions of the body. They also studied nu- trition and better health habits. Mr. Oetting ' s first aid class studied the fundamentals of emergency medical care and the hazards which cause the need for this care. The goal of driver ' s education was to prepare stu- dents for driving by stressing reaction time, emotional maturity, use of good judgement, and physical fit- ness. The effects of alcohol on the body, and thus on driving, were emphasized. Safety Steps Mrs. Nelson ' s 7th grade Health class listened while Yvette Wolfe gave her report. Here Diana Henry is shown applying a bandage to Dick Minnick while the class watched her procedure. 22
