TALENTS SHOW AS SOME SEW AND OTHERS SKETCH Janet Miller, Shelby Randolph, and Mary Tomlinson begin the Clothing lll dresses they will model in the style show. Flashing needles, tantalizing odors, clever room arrangements characterize the home economics department. Presenting a style show and tilling the display windows with eye-catching exhibits enable sewing, foods, and home management classes to advertise their skills and at the same time suggest to practical-minded boys the domes- tic qualities which every housewife needs. A shapeless lump of clay becomes a work of ceramic beauty in the hands of an imaginative and creative art stude-wt. Many moods and emotions can be expressed through proper balance, color combinations, and the stroke ot a pencil or brush, but art is not just painting and drawing, Each student tries his skill in finger painting, oils, charcoal, or clay and makes use of the kiln and potter's wheel. Although re- quired only on the home economics course, art may be elected by all other students. Miss Healey Miss Rhinesperger Mrs. Webster Miss Hull
