A good mechanic always has his hands cut up! Mr. MocDonold returns with student driver Sheila Cronin ofter facing the perils of the Long Island Expresswoy. PRACTICAL TRAINING While third-lunch-shift girls made the trek to the gymnasium, hunger pangs increased because ot the delicious odors emanating from the home economics room, where something good was always brewing. Under the sole supervision of Mrs. Madsen, students learned the tactics of getting to a man through his stomach—with nutritious, well-balanced meals, of course. From the sewing room came the latest in feminine fashions, as future homemakers learned everything from inserting a gusset to applying sequins. Along with these techniques came discussions about etiquette and family living. Whether girls planned to marry or pursue a career, our courses in home economics prepared them for future responsibilities. On the other end of the distaff side were boys who aspired to the manual arts. Schreiber was well equipped to help them in this pursuit. Mechanical drawing classes offered the talented an opportunity to explore the worlds of architecture and design, while would-be printers learned the significance of 8 point metro and futura medium. Members of the other shops, including wood, metal, and machine, built everything from a screw driver to an automobile engine.

SKILLS CLASSES STRESS While hopeful underclassmen prayed for the quick arrival of L Day ' Schreiber s driver ed. teachers took their lives into their hands by taming what might otherwise be potential highway-delinquent seniors. Aside from teaching the operation of both standard and automatic cars, these gallant knights made students aware that there is more to the automobile than a new paint job, and conveyed pointers about traffic laws, behavior during an emergency, and the buying of insurance. Schreiber's instructors left nothing to be desired, as students eagerly anticipated their weekly lessons behind the wheel The clicking of keys and the ringing of bells characterized our school's busy typing room. Touch typing was taught not only to students planning a clerical career, but also to those who were interested in improving their skill in this useful, practical subject. Another necessity to students who wished to enter the white collar world was business arithmetic. This course offered the fundamentals needed for a successful career in many phases of the vast business world. 26 Mr. Brown assists on interested future secretary.

Well known throughout the community for their melodious sounds, Schreiber's music deportment has been a source of much enjoyment and pride. The band, orchestra, and chorus, directed by Messrs. Christopher, Rusack, and Doughty, re- spectively, gave separate concerts during the year, and com- bined harmoniously for the annual Christmas concert. They also provided the vocal and orchestral backgrounds for the fall musical, performed in the Memorial Day parade, and recorded concerts for presentation over NBC radio. Our music department is one which has earned its fine reputation for high quality performances in competition, and is a valuable contribution to Schreiber's extra-curricular life Who would have thought that we would be given the oppor- tunity to gaze at the work of future Van Goghs and Rembrandts while eating our lunch! No one but Miss Rooney and her industrious art classes. We also owe them thanks for many beautiful showcases around our halls and for lovely holiday decorations Our art classes certainly made our high school a more beautfiul place to live and work in.
