Tomorrow ' s Homemakers Make Smart Suits TAKING TEMPERATURE and pulse arc only two of the tech- niques Mary Signorino and Cheryl Shutes learn in home nursing. CHOICE TOMATOES are carefully packed in jars by Foods I students Mary Knoblock and Jeanie Nelson. Home economics girls learned practical skills in their classes this year and then rushed home to test new recipes on their families or to dream of redec- orating their rooms. Using a variety of cookers and the latest methods, foods students canned peaches, beans, corn, and to- matoes. Later they used these foods in preparing at- tractive meals for the diners in classes and in the tea- rooin. Besides canning fruits and vegetables, they made delicious jams and jellies. Since many families have freezers, the girls learned to freeze strawberries. Charlotte Bragg Foods Shirley Marks Mary Nicholson Rcta Whiteneck Foods Clothing Clothing r% ( ■kii 26

IN PHYSICS I Paul Konanz, Rill Miller, and George Gcist adjust weights on a meter stick to measure parallel forces. To better prepare pre-nursing students for their careers, the Mathematics Department added a new class to its curriculum, applied math. The two se- mester course reviewed elementary math, algebra, and the metric system. Freshmen either reviewed their arithmetic in gen- eral math or learned to use equations in algebra. Ad- vanced algebra pupils worked with quadratic equa- tions and logarithms, while others in geometry studied theorems proved by the ancient Greeks, Euclid and Pythagoras. Some seniors took trigonometry, where they found the sizes of angles of triangles by using sines, cosines, and tangents. Senior math gave them a preview of college math. Students on a trade course took Trade Mathematics I and II. In this course boys solved algebra, geometry, and some trigonometry problems. Various local in- dustries contributed these problems. BEAMING, Mr. Roy Broman was glad to be back teaching the second semester. His absence was due to a knee Injury.
