Home Economics Home Economics is more than just cooking and sewing. It is a course in good living. The Home Economist must have a basic knowledge of science, mathematics, and history. She must be artistic and must he orderly and efficient as a secretary. If the girls taking Foods from Miss Peterson should bake a cake that falls, they can tell you which chemical reaction caused the failure. The fundamentals of Art are applied in Miss Holley's Clothing classes, and her students learn that being well-dressed in- volves more than the ability to sew on buttons. Senior boys have the opportunity to develop culinary skills in the Boy’s Cooking Class. Al- though Miss Peterson doesn’t produce many pros- pective chefs, her boys do gain an appreciation of the work involved in feeding them three meals a day. Industrial Arts A complete training in vocational skills—this is what is offered to all mechanically inclined students of VHS. In the auto mechanics shop can be found many modern-day Henry Fords trying to find out what makes a car tick. Future printers can be found in the print shop turning out the “Star” as well as programs, charts, tickets and other school printing. Also in the shops are courses in woodworking, machine shops for future machinists, and a drafting course for future draftsmen and engi- neers. These courses are first studied when the boys are in Junior High, where they are given a “get-acquainted” course in each of the shops to help them choose the one of most interest. Commercial Students who take business courses are familiar with words like “It is the duty of man to do me a turn.” They constantly hear “tabular stops set; machines at double spacing.” During the typing course, each student tries to bring his speed up to a fast rate. Timed speed tests are taken, and the rate is put on a chart. Shorthand students are kept busy learning the brief forms, special forms, and others. Later, dictation and transcription are attempted, re- sulting in students trying to get their “60” award. The office practice class learns to operate mimeo- graph, mimeoscope, ediphone. and adding ma- chines.
