The sewing classes made dresses, jump- ers, sleeveless dresses, skirts and blouses. The cooking classes planned menus for break- fast, lunches and dinners. Later these meals were prepared. Classes were held on methods of canning, etiquette and good grooming. These classes proved to be very profitable and interesting.

Ill GAINING EXPERIENCE IN THE ARTS -fl A show of vivid imagination. DRAMATICS Last year the Dramatics Club, sponsored by Miss LaSalle, was organized to provide for its members opportunities to develop poise and self-assurance and to improve oral ability. lt has helped to benefit the school and com- munity and develop the students' knowledge in dramatics. Although it was a large group, everyone was given a chance for improving their expressions. lmitations, skits, charades, magazine reports and a talk on dramatics by a guest speaker, Mrs. McCutcheon, who is a professional in the line of dramatics, were given during several of the club meetings. One skit that was enjoyed by everyone was about the typical teen-ager, which was put on for the club group. Variety shows were also given by the Dramatics Club. i EMU' X ,il lbs.

ART The purpose of last year's Junior and Senior Art Clubs, sponsored by Mr. McGeary, was to give the students experience in working with a variety of craft materials, to teach the basic fundamentals of design and color, and to instill in the students an appreciation of art. They learned how to operate the equipment that was used in making crafts and at the same time were gaining experience in work- ing together as a group. The many different school and individual projects that were made by them certainly proved to be worth the effort that was put into them. Mr. McGeary took his Art Club to the Carnegie Museum on a field trip to see the different phases of art in a show called the Scandinavian Show. li if
