If EXPLANATION of the operation of a power saw is being given by Mr. Richard Vogt to boys in his industrial Foundations for Future By showing them how to use basic woodworking tools Mr. Richard Vogt may have turned seventh and eighth grade boys into do-it- yourself enthusiasts. Upon graduation girls who have learned office practice, shorthand, and bookkeeping from Mr. Rex Lantz have little trouble finding a job. These girls gained practical experience by keeping school ac- counts, typing and mimeographing outlines and exams for faculty members, and making out report cards for the principal's office. Miss Carol Embick and Mrs. Judith Douglas both taught typing. Eighth-grade English Hlled out Miss Embick's teaching schedule, and she spent hours in the direction and production of the fall class play, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

WATCHING to see that Shirley Factor does not make a mistake while compiling accounts Vocational Subjects Form Although more and more students have entered into college pre- paratory courses, home economics, business education, and indus- trial arts departments still hold important places in the curriculum. That the Soviet Union is incorporating these departments in the new Russian education program emphasizes this fact.

Methods of giving a bed bath and making a bed with a patient in it were demonstrated to Miss Nacci's students by school nurse Mary Peat. Learning how to make a perfect pizza pie was one of the favorite tasks performed in Mrs. Hambleton's cooking class.

Time for Throngs and Timely Talk Much of today's student life and activities linds its beginnings in the roaring twenties. People had fought the war to end wars and were free to settle down to the task of living. Clubs such as Hi-Y, Tri-Hi-Y, GAA, and National Honor Society were organized. Before the band and orchestra were formed in 1926, the glee club under the tutelage of Professor E. Heath and Miss Madge Mossman boomed with 135 voices. It was destined to continue to grow later as Mrs. Earl Watson assumed its directorship. Host of Golden Daf- fodils remains still in the minds of her former singers. Several lasting traditions originated in this flapper age. The school newspaper Signal replaced in 1923 the Beacon, a combination liter- ary and news publication. The style show was originally the yearly function of the Home Economics Club, later called Future Homemakers, which began in 1928. Flourishing for a time were a radio club for hams and a de- bating team which competed against schools like Fostoria. Assemblies consisted of school talent: Mr. P. J. Garcia and a col- lection of Spanish records, plays, violin solos, a puppet show. Among outside groups putting on programs were the Swiss Bell Ringers and Mr.,T. Brooks Fletcher, a psychoanalyst.
