In home economics, girls learned to run a home effi- ciently. Other than just learning to cook, girls in the foods classes planned nutritious and attractive meals. Clothing classes helped students learn how to combine textiles, color, and design. Successful careers are the aim of the business educa- tion department. Shorthand, office procedures, account- ing, typing and salesmanship prepare students for fu- ture secretarial jobs. Office occupations and distributive education put this training to work as the student spends each afternoon in a local firm. The industrial arts wing was completed this year, with final installation of equipment late in October. One of the important additions was the cabinetmaking shop, which housed the building trades program. New to the curriculum, this program is a two-year course for junior and senior boys. Weather permitting, the boys spend three hours each day building a house. The program is designed to aid the boys in developing a craft trade as a vocation.
