In Preparing For Future Jobs And Homemaking The practical arts department of Marion High School assists many students in prepar- ing for future occupations and homemaking by its extensive coverage in these fields of study. Drafting, electronics, printing, and many other subjects give assistance and background to students. Many students take part in on- the-job training which helps them to further their education in the specific field in which they are interested for the future. Homemaking may be learned by Marion High girls through the various subjects avail- able. The techniques of sewing and proper selection of materials are taught by clothing classes. Future homemakers learn the funda- mentals of cooking, housekeeping, and the proper care of children through their studies.
