Home Economics Class Biology Class English Class 'IO -L Top: Students in a foods class start preparing a dinner in the new home economics kitchen. Middle: a biology group prepares some ag-ar-agar solutions. Below: a senior English group listens to Macbeth on records. Helen LaBeur is getting ready to play another disc. EPTEMBER 13, 1949, arrived and 568 students tripped out to start classes where they had left oft last Iune. We say 'lett off because this year's sections all had met the last week of last year tor Orientation Days - days when students met their new teachers and ac- tually began the work of the new year. Such days were an innovation that made for a smooth beginning of 1949-50. Among the new courses open to students this year were those in family relations, consumer education, salesmanship, and junior science. Continued was the popular course in Driver Education. In the junior division fgrades 7, 8, and 9l core type of instruction was instituted. Various subjects such as English and history were correlated to a certain extent as they were taught by the same teachers to the same students. It is expected that such instruction Will. be retained but intensified. In the senior division tgrades lO, ll, and l2l socialized procedure making use of committee Work, field trips, projects, panels, and such, was emphasized. Of special interest to the division was the obtaining of a home across from the Fallsington building as a Horne Eco- nomics cottage. Both boys and girls were utilized in repairing, furnishing, and decorating the home. It is also expected that the full time program in shop and home-making, newly introduced into the Yardley building this year, will continue, CUBISM-the breaking down of a surface into geometric shapes--served as the inspiration for the opposite artistic study. The subject depicted is a young girl seated at a desk. Looking closely, you will see how the girl's face and clothing, the desk, and the background have been reduced to their cubistic forms to make a pleasing design.
