Art Develops Appreciation and Provides Pleasure Art courses at North give the students an opportun- ity to express themselves and to enjoy the work of fellow students. Students paint, make sketches, and try their hand at sculpturing and making jewelry. In the Indus- trial Arts class, students enjoy designing and drafting. Training in the art field can lead to outstanding vocations in commercial art, advertising, and numerous other areas. Even if the students do not enter into one of these areas, training in art helps them develop an ap- preciation of good art.

Home Economics and Agriculture are two of the vocational subjects offered to the students at North. In Home Economics girls learn to plan and prepare well- balanced and appetizing meals and to sew. Agriculture offers boys a chance to learn about farming and other agricultural careers. Many hobbies develop from these courses. These boys also become familiar with tools used for sawing, sanding and planing. Home Economics and Agriculture classes teach prac- tical skills and offer chances to apply knowledge gained. Mrs. Ross and a group of her Home Economics girls made mints for the coming holiday season.
