PRACTICAL ARTS Mr. Dale Larson and Mr. Paul Pence HE The good smells and the unearthly grinding noises heard from the halls are evidence that the Practical Arts Department is hard at work. In the Home Economics section, girls and this year boys, are being taught basic skills in Managing a home and are getting experience outside the classroom with trips to a clothing factory and Woodward and Lothrop’s China, Glassware, and Silverware Department. The industrial arts section trains boys in the basics of woodworking, metal working and printing; | preparing them for future job opportunities in the craft trades. ede Dorion 21

One of the most dynamic and important areas of study today, important not only to high school students but to every American as well, is in the field of Social Studies. As our world grows smaller it becomes even more necessary for everyone to better understand and know about other cultures as well as his own. The Social Studies Depart- ment is attempting to do this by offering a variety of courses designed with this in mind—World Civilization, American Civilization, Modern History, Geography, Econ- omics, Sociology, U.S. History, U.S. Government, World History and Ancient and Medieval History.
