In the food division they learned how to create tempting, well-balanced meals. Film strips illustrated the many variations possible for common dishes. The girls in this branch were also shown how to save time at housekeeping. The creative sewing course enabled many to make modish clothes from plain materials. They mastered the sewing machine and its numerous attachments while perfecting their artistic talents. Their achieve- ments were displayed at the annual Home Eco- nomics Fashion Show.

The faculty of our Manual Arts Department trains the hands of students to become proficient in the crafts. The well-carved frame for our canvas was made in our Manual Arjs Department. In the workshops students had the joy of learning to design and create articles with their own hands. Our printers developed techniques which could be compared to the work of professionals. Without the co-operation of the Photography Department the Periscope and Annual would not have been able to capture memorable school events. The entire school benefited by the efforts of this department. Dave Thomas’ skilled fingers add final touches to his project. The woodwork students developed their creative talents and produced many beautiful and useful things. Albert Huntress Adviser, Angling Club David Lapp M.Ed. Thomas J.

Janderup On Leave John V. Seaman A.M. in Mu.Ed. Adviser, Keyboard, Glee and Record Collectors Clubs Music was the soft tone that gave a touch of refinement to our canvas. In Music Appreciation class we listened with pleasure to the works of the old masters and analyzed them, while in Swing Band assemblies we swayed and clapped our hands to the modern beat of the State Street Kentons. From the music and band rooms came well prepared artists. Mr. Seaman's theory courses provided a solid foundation for our more talented musicians; Mr. Hudak’s instrument lessons were the basis of a fine orchestra. The recitals and concerts given by the Music Department were the final proof of the program's worth. Students of a music theory class enrich their musical background as Eleanor Tallarico explains the development of a composition by Wagner. Forest Corley, A.B. Band, Orchestra
