HOME ECONOMICS, LI BRA R Y, FRENCH, CLASS AIDES Knitting Added to Home Economics Skills In addition to learning how to cook a balanced breakfast and make desserts, freshmen and sophomore home econo- mics classes learned the basics of cro- cheting and knitting. The advanced girls sewed two garments of their choice, learned cake decorating, advanced food pieparation, and made needlepoint tapestries. All classes participated in a unit on child care. All senior girls participated in the Betty Crocker test given annually at P.H.S. The test was designed to see who of the girls had the most general knowledge of home economics cookery. Curt Warner was the only student who, with librarian Burdette Nicklaus, was responsible for keeping the library in top condition. Curt Kept the card file in order and put books back in their slots after students had finished with them. French I and II classes, taught by Mr. Nicklaus, learned not only to speak French, but to use it grammatically cor- rect. They learned by translating sen- tences and speaking the language.

HI-POWER, PHOTOGRAPHY Students Capture Events of the Year in Words and Pictures Journalism students, with LeaAnna Hendon, editor, changed the general for- mat of the bi-monthly newspaper, the Hi Power In the past news was grouped on each page according to its section. A new look was given to the cover of the newspaper with a new name plate de- signed by Janie Blondcll. With the new format the paper showed more improve- ment in reporting and organization of news events. Many of the students in the class lacked the needed typing skills to publish a newspaper. They made up this disadvantage by their enthusiastic reporting. The success of the paper was due to the hard work of the members of the class and the leadership of their ad- visor, Robert Beitcl. Many memorable and historic events of this school year were captured in pic- tures by Pete Nightingale’s photography class. The students covered every event from club meetings to the state basket- ball championship in Baker. The stu- dents learned to develop and to care for their own negatives and to process them into clear, sharp proofs for the use of the annual and journalism classes.
