This helps to supple- ment the classroom instruction on farm production, marketing and related areas. A student may, in the course of four years, take up to six units in agriculture including two units dealing with farm machinery, tractors, plumbing, electricity, farm structures and welding. The program is offered to any student interested in farming or related fields x ff' , ' 5255:-s' A K, --'i '- 'yi 4 -'if T if 9 4 - 1 . fe.. such as marketing, processing, machinery sales and service, feed and fertilizer dis- tribution, teaching, conservation, state and federal agricultural departments and farm co-ops. Of the employed people in the United States, about 4O'Za are engaged in agri- cultural work. About one-third are in farming and the remaining two-thirds in related fields. All of these people should have a good background in agriculture. Here at M.H.S., the agricultural program is well-equipped to provide this service. Don't look so puzzled, Tom. 23

Catherine Bartlett You can be sure, . . . if it's Westinghouse. Home Econom1cs The work of the home eco- nomics department is reflected to us now and will continue to be reflected in the future. Mrs. Bartlett heads the department. The homemaking sequence is designed primarily to prepare youth for the responsibilities of homemakers. The homemaker is the one who must organize, plan, and guide the family in their activities. She must be an expert in human relations and management and have under- standing and skill in meeting and solving problems. Today's home- maker has responsibilities differ- ent from those of the past. Well- planned preparation and contin- ued help for the homemakers are needed. To meet the demands of the everchanging times, this depart- ment offers such courses as home nursing, child care, interior dec- orating and community living. These courses will all help the student prepare for the time when she will be a homemaker. 22 Pre-heat the oven at 450 . Z- 4 14409 Q PM 'E '9 X1 I. als-gf 'aid
