Dual DRIVER EDUCATION Practical Arts Prepare Us for Life Work In preparing for their futures, many students participate in the practical arts. These courses in- clude those in the mechanical, agricultural, home- making, or artistic fields, and drivers' training. Shop classes give boys the opportunity to de- velop mechanical and building skills, while stresse ing the quality of workmanship. The Ag department helps young men to become modern farmers. Girls planning a career in home economics may take courses in which they learn skills of sewing, cooking, and family living. Those going into the business world may take courses designed to teach typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and business law. Students interested in art or those who enioy it as a hobby learn the various techniques and medi- ums of expression. Drivers' training is a course taken by many students in order that they may become the safe and skillful drivers of the future.
