Rosemary Wooley acts as Kathye Zeigler’s victim in health class as the girls practice the back- pressure-arm-lift method of artificial respiration. The vocational department has a complete curriculum. In home economics girls, or boys, too, if they wish, learn to perfect the skills of sew- ing, cooking, child care, home nursing, and interior decorating. In agriculture classes practical knowledge about farming is learned and is frequently practiced. Shop classes give boys a chance to study about drawing, making, and assembling articles. Health and safety classes are required, but may be substituted by two years in home economics.

Driver's education classes are conducted to help improve the safety conditions on our nation's highways by training alert, watchful, and safe drivers. All these subjects offer practical ex- perience while learning specific skills. Miss Snider, driver's education instructor, shows Diana Heald the proper way to shift gears. 15
