Science is important in our everyday lives, and there are many vocational op- portunities for young peo- ph in the sdennic and technical fields. i . 1 Richard Tuhb Science Science Students Displal' Variety Cf Reactions Spewing test tuhes and onnoxious odors are occupational hazards of the chemistry class. Gripes, however, have been heard from pupils not en- rolled in science. Mr. Tuhb is really trying to give us a peek into a scientists crystal ball. Luckily for Mr. Tuhb's nerves, the science work is done in the classroom. Biology and chemistry students shift their brains into high gear to solve problems and questions that plague a scientific education. They are look- ing forward to a course in physics next year. Oh, we just study everything, was the reaction or' the freshmen when the were questioned concerning their studies in general science. Actually this was no exaggeration, as the freshmen combine biology, meteorology,chemistry, hotany, geology, physics, entomology, a study of the planets, and the other various sciences into one fascinating course under the direction of Mr. Tu b 1 P ffl- ern ll' ,si

Nell Walker Home Economics Home economics. This subiect provides excellent preparation for making a home and for becoming a better parent. lt also encourages some girls who have a special interest in the field to get further training so that they may become dietitians, food experts, interior decorators, or teachers of home economics. ln some schools general homcmalqmg is taught in each year of high school. lt includes instruction in budgeting an income, decorating a home, selecting and making clothing, spending wisely, caring for children, planning well-balanced meals, getting along well with members of the family, caring for household equipment, and other problems of housing and family living. Ninth grade girls make Christmas prese HOME ECONOMICS Many girls do not take advantage of the home economics classes because they say that they can learn to sew and cook at home. This may be true, but there are a great many scientific facts and new techniques taught in the foods and clothing courses that the average girl never learns at home. Aside from the practical everyday value of these subjects, there are many vocations for both boys and girls who are especially interested in the field of home economics. Among them are: Baker Home-demonstrations Caterer agent Chef Hotel manager Cleaner ana dyer Interior decorator Cook Laundry worker Demonstrator for Maid manufacturers Milliner Designer Research worker Diet expert Seamstress Dietitian Tailor Dressmaker Teacher of home economic Food administrator Food expert Tearoom manager Other specialists in this field are experts who prepare budgets and menus for average families on different incomes, do rest-arcli work, and prepare bulletins for the government: lioiiie economists who test foods and recipes, write sales book lets and give radio talks for food industries: and commercial food managers or business managers in charge of restaurants. tafeterias, hospital kitchens, recreation clubs, resorts, camps. stliool lunch rooms, college dining halls, prisons, asylums. and other institutions. ts
