ec course modernized Sounds of buzzing saws, sizzling food, and pounding ham¬ mers served as a reminder to the student body that the home economics and industrial arts departments were hard at work. The conventional home economics class was modernized with new trends in food preparation and sewing by Mrs. Jane Gwinn, Mrs. Winifred Bryant, and Mrs. Patsy Worrell. The eleven complete kitchens and twenty-seven sewing ma¬ chines were used by students in courses adapted to the pre-cooked foods and ready-made clothes of modern society. The advanced cooking class specialized in fancy and foreign foods. As well as serving all faculty and senior teas, future homemakers catered for area clubs and organizations. High values and goals for adulthood were instilled in students in the family living class. The construction of a gable-roofed barn by Mr. Morris Smith’s building trades class marked the largest structure the daily three-hour class has completed. Drafting, machine shop, auto mechanics, and building trades fill the five work areas of the Industrial Trades Department. Mike Douglas extricates a ball joint from a 1957 Cadillac. A face mask is mandatory for welders. Machine shop student Larry Reddin works skillfully on a drill press. - •
