Mary Perisho, B.S. HOME The young homemakers of Paris High get real train- ing for home life situations. Miss Perisho teaches the first and second year home living classes: Miss Hend- ricks, the first and third. They ore also the instructors for the Red Cross Home Nursing Course conducted each year, which is open to any girl in Paris High School. At the beginning of the course students learn to help with family meals. Later, the girls are trusted to pre- pare breakfasts and lunches alone. The problems of rationing and the point system are thoroughly explored. The components of a balanced meal and foods neces- sary to our health are studied. Every meal must be both appetizing and nutritious. Equipment in the model kitchens is the best. On some days half of the class prepares a meal, and the others are the guests. This brings in serving eti- quette. and other social deportment. The home eco- nomics girls prepared and served a G.A.A. dinner and a tea this year. In the clothing classes, clothes appropriate for cer- tain occasions and how to wear them are discussed as the actual production of garments progresses. Patterns, styles, and materials are popular topics, too. Posture is continually stressed, and experimentation in make-up and hair styling are introduced during the year. In the advanced third year class, nutrition, interior decorating, home nursing and home management are taken up. Nutrition requires a good deal of intensive concentration, but the girls really know their proteins, HOME EC CLUB FIRST ROW: Sexton. Alexander. Woss. L. Gibson. M. Krobel. Mist Perisho. G. Gibson.

D. H. Hamilton, B.S. AGRICULTURE Boys who want to become farmers can take a total of four courses in agriculture during their yeors of high school. Agriculture I is the study of the soil and the production of the various crops with the best possible results. Agriculture II has to do with balancing of ra- tions for live-stock and the feeding requirements for the different types of animals. In agriculture III Mr. Ham- ilton instructs the boys in the repairs of implements and horness and in farm management. Agriculture IV is a special course which is a summary of materials, crops, and onimols in which the individual hos special interest. Mr. Hamilton is also the adviser for the chapter of the Future Formers of America. The Paris chapter is made up of thirty-eight boys, and the F.F.A., as a whole, is the second largest boy organization in the world. In the F.F.A. each boy is required to give a talk on some phase of farm work, at least once a year. This additional club work has proved very beneficial not only in stimulated interests in agriculture, but in becoming better acquainted with students of similar interests. F. F. A.
