HOME EC CLASS The home ec classes have been busy this year. Every girl has her individual project. Though not so much is heard about embroidery, knitting, crocheting and painting, all rank high in keeping the interest of the girls. The two required semester projects are just a start for most. It ' s not all girls in home ec, the boys do their share in the kitchen. SHOP The shop class is an organized class. Each period has its general foreman who supervises the machines, takes attendance, and is in charge of safety and first aid. An assistant foreman is in charge of materials and and checking work. Work is individual except on projects Here we see a typical example of the boys f or sc hool. in mechanical drawing.

STUDY HALL Most students have at least one study hall a day. This is a place where they can go for literature and study op¬ portunities. Different teachers are on duty each period. Mr. Roland Scott is the librarian and is very willing to help each student find material. OFFICE PRACTICE Office practice is a course taken by junior and senior girls. It prepares them for office work. TYPING CLASS One of the most beneficial subjects taught by Mr. George Ham is typing. There are two years of it and one who progresses rapidly can become a Vari-T ypist. There are three classes of first year typists and two classes of second year. These classes hand in budgets at certain times. OFFICE Mrs. Anita Osburn, our secretary, and Mr. R. J. Brannock are busy preparing the monthly reports. 6
