This life may include marriage, child-raising and homemaking. lt may be the life of a woman who wants to pursue any of the almost limitless careers in the field of home economics. Besides the obvious career opportunities, there are thousands of related fields such as interior decora- tion, physical therapy, technical journalism or so- cial welfare work. Home economics in high school is an excellent beginning for any life's work a woman may choose. Cecelia Fye, clothing and design instructor, is new to the home economics staff but not to the department. Miss Fye was a student teacher in Mqgon City during the Spring Qf 1961.

BULL'S-EYE-Perhaps Bette Kedrock is telling Bonnie Dougan, Maid Marian could never top this. Teachers stress techniques ot indoor, outdoor sports William Tell might find it amusing if he hap- pened to pass by in the fall when the girls' phys- ical education classes are participating in archery. At the same time, despite the chills, the boys' classes are playing football. A quarter of bowling gives both boys and girls an opportunity to learn basic bowling techniques and to develop bowling skill. Basketball, wrestling and volleyball are the in- door sports for the boys. Girls participate in bas- ketball, volleyball and recreational activities such as ping pong, shuttleboard and trampoline. In the spring both boys and girls play softball outside.

Last year the metals classes of Mason City High School were the only ones in Iowa to have a weld- ing tester. This year the metalworking classes are again fortunate. They are receiving specialized equipment worth about Sl2,000 through a tech- nician's program at the junior college. With such growth the Industrial Arts Department will continue to fulfill its aim of giving the stu- dent, through practical experience, a background to aid him in his future work. FIRED UP 1 Curtis Trebil, a junior, displays his skill at weld- ing with an oxy-acetylene torch.
