 Marie B. Conrow A.M. Supervisor Home Economics Department Head Evangeline Darago B.S. Pearle Peterson, B.S. Merry Christmas also means eating 1 say our Home Eco- nomics students. The delightful aroma which filled our corridors at Christmas time originated in the cookies baked by PAHS enthusiasts. Among these were Lillian Nimetz and Margaret Movanni who are about to put a fresh batch into the oven. an d the om em a Tantalizing aromas issuing from behind oven doors and exquisitely styled creations emerging from bolts of material and tissue paper patterns were the satisfying results of our efforts to become pro- ficient homemakers. Future fashion designers and dietitians among us remember how Mrs. Rubin patiently supervised our awkward attempts to thread a sewing machine—how Miss Peterson forgave our first clumsy culinary endeavors. Few of us will forget the stimulat- ing experiences these practical courses offered. The nimble fingers of Delores Pasternak, Bernice Sodowski, and Betty Corbin ply diligently over sewing projects.

lAJe became sbi (U in era George Seaman B.S.Ed. Department Head Henry W. Dane Albert Huntress Supervisor Manual M.Ed. Arts Above, Joseph Maklary and Alvin Bia- lecki do handwork on aluminum. Below, Mr. Huntress gives metalwork students a lecture and demonstration. It takes skilled fingers to build a door, and—thanks to the Manual Arts Depart- ment—many craftsmen are being de- veloped each year. Creative students were enabled to channel their talents in wood- work and metalwork. Signs of the printing classes were evident everywhere. Doubtless, the school owes a great deal to its photog- raphy students without whose help the Periscope” and the Annual could not have been successful. America needs skilled craftsmen, and PAHS is trying to hejp fulfill that need. The signs advertising social and academic affairs of our school are done on a large scale by the classes in printing. Here, Ronald Molnar operates the power press.

l Yju iic and the dine -dirts Music seeped through mony doors of PAHS. The Music Appreciation classes offered Mozart, the .Swing Band presented Gershwin. Our Band played an important role in almost every assembly and was an encouraging force at sports and civic events. The talents of our budding musi- cians under capable direction became apparent at the recitals of our excellent orchestra. This, plus the contribution of our outstanding choruses, helped make our high school years most enrichening. The carolling of Tracy Beyers, Kathleen Zajan- schowsky, Nancy Churko, Irene Kauffman and all the other members of the Selective Chorus made the Christmas Assmbly a musical success. Nancy Churko, Joan Thorik, Mr. Hudak, Maryonne Hari, Wallace Cavonaugh, Richard Adametz, Michael Bosie, and Thomas Koubek strike up a merry melody.
