The home is the center of the universe, within its portals man finds food, clothing, and rest for his weary bones. Though the purpose of the home remains the same throughout the ages, its appearance has changed somewhat radically since Forty- niners trod the earth. The advent of compulsory education took girls from the home and placed them in institu- tions of learning. The maching age compen- sated for their increasing absence from the home front with myriad time-and-labor-saving devices to make housekeeping easier. Now education faces a new challenge. Even as it prepares women for careers in busi- ness, it must not neglect preparing them for their fundamental careers as wives and mothers. At SBHS, instructors have seen in compulsory education an excellent opportunity to teach girls not only the basic steps in making a house a home that occupied so much of their ancestors' lives, but also the advantages of modern hygienic, dietetic, and mechanical discoveries for making cleaner, brighter, and happier world. r ' 7 l . . em, .

Regardless of the program in which the boys chose to enroll, they had at their disposal shops which were equipped tor all needs. The auto shop was tiiled with would-be mechanics who had desires to overhaul carburetors, reline brake drums, repair ignitions, or even rebuild engines trom top to bottom. Greasy hands were inevitable, but agood washing never hurt anyone, not even a Card City auto worker. Future engineers were situated in the mechanical draw- ing room where their dratting boards were always in use, students began the course by making detailed drawings ot simple machinery, whereas they later tried designing cars ot tomorrow. Some boys chose the wood shop classes where they dwelt among the sawdust, sandpaper, and bent nails. Their projects ranged from corner shelves and bongo drums, to playhouses. Printer's devils flourished in the SBHS print shop and, using some ot the tinest equipment available, students man- aged to run ott about 2,000 school newspapers per week, they also worked on ticket and poster jobs tor various campus organizations.
