Teens For Future Jobs Girls and even a few guys around the Dome pre- pare to become future homemakers in the Home Eco- nomics Department. In food classes the students learn how to make their meals nutritious as well as pleas- ing to the eye and to the palate. After preparing their meals, the girls arrange the tables in formal or infor- mal settings, as the occasion calls for, and then sit down to partake of the feast. Students in clothing classes make all types of cloth- ing from party dresses to pajamas. In doing this they learn not only about materials but also about the techniques of sewing. After completing their project, the gitls put on a style show for the PTA to exhibit what they have accomplished. Both sewing and food classes aid students in pre- paring for the days when they will be homemakers. This study also provides, in many cases, a basis for further vocational training.

de implements. Vocation Instruction And Home Economy Train Flying sparks and the smell of sawdust are com- mon sights and smells around the various industrial arts classes at the Dome. In these classes, including ; wood, drawing, and metal, boys learn to handle tools and design all sorts of things from lamps to office buildings. In wood classes the boys choose a special project on which they work the whole semes- ter. Metal classes are assigned a semester project to work on which will acquaint them with all of the various types of machines. Drawing classes give the boys an understanding of the principles of mechan- ical drawing. From these drawing tables come basic plans for all shop projects. These manual arts courses give the boys a back- ground in using tools and machines which should be of aid to them if they choose to enter a field involving manual skills after high school. Whether they enter this type of profession or not, these courses are designed to be helpful in solving every- day problems which may arise at anytime. 28

The home, school, and library are common haunts of the studious Redskin. At school an academic at- mosphere is provided by study hall, honor study hall, the library, and occasionally students can be seen studying at the information desk. Honor study hall has been revised this year. Student Council has gen- eral supervision of all the honor study hills, with one member in charge of each period. This system not only gives the opportunity to practice self-discipline, but also acts as an incentive for underclassmen who may work for admission. The regular study hall, under the direction of Mrs. Coomey and Mr. Becker, provides students with a place to study :s well as to find a break in the day ' s classroom activity. The libraries, both public and school, enabh students working on term papers or other special reports to make us; of various types of reference material as well as to secure books for re- laxation and enjoyment. Industrious North Siders may find sanctuary for study purposes at home. Here the studious laborer may, if he wishes, refresh himself from time to time with a nourishing snack. Redskins Seek Various Tn the informal atmosphere of the cafeteria, honor study hall members study their lessons and relax with friends. 30
