These courses teach the girls to plan well-balanced meals, to assemble and make wardrobes, to decorate a home, and to properly care for children. The food classes plan and prepare nutritious, as well as appetizing meals. The clothing classes study the design and color of textiles, in addition to the actual material itself. All of the subjects in this field are elective. Boys, too, have an extensive choice of study in industrial arts. In these courses they have the opportunities to either draw and design ma- chines and tools or use them in actual vocation training. They may also choose to develop skills in such fields as metals, woodworking, welding, auto mechanics, drafting, and a new course of electronics which was added this year. Being able to express one,s self in a confident manner and learning to be sensitive and aware of objects having individual beauty and taste are main objectives of the art classes. Crafts courses do their work in leather, metal, wood, glass, and plastics, while the pottery classes work with clay and ceramics. Classes doing more ad- vanced work concentrate on three-dimensional construction and printing in addition to tech- niques of advertising, illustration and sculpture.
