ef-JH.. ART MR. HARRY ROBERTSON The strange objects seen behind the doors of our Art Department are created by students in the two art courses now available. In the first year the student is instructed in the basic fundamentals of sketching in pencil, India ink, and charcoal, and working with pastels and water colors. Near the end of this ele- mentary course they work with copper enameling, jewelry and linoleum blocks. In the second year they advance to three-dimensional projects including pot- tery, mobiles, and wire and tooth pick sculptures. Out- side activities are assigned to supplement the class work.

Home Ee educating, for curry-clay lioingf' HO E ECO O IC MRS. RAYMOND PERRY To prepare a dish tit for a kingv-that is what the girls in the foods labs are learning to do-Without knocking the budget all out of kilter either, for along with the preparation and cooking of a dish comes a discussion on the buying of the ingredients. This is but part of the training given in the Home Economics Department. Another facet is found in the cloth- ing section where the emphasis is upon the selection of pat- tern and material, the details of cutting, sewing and finishing a garment-be it shorts or evening dress. Yes, here they sew a fine seamf' Nor must we neglect Family Living which stresses the art of getting along with family and friends. Yes, this is quite a department!

Mechanical drawing, and the wood, metal, and auto shops give students an opportunity to work with their hands as well as their minds. Here, in this voca- tional wing, creative minds are allowed to wander- the results are often pleasing to both the maker and the observor. In the woodsliop carpentry training is available to those who plan to make it a trade or hobby. Many useful objects are cut for ornamental and practical purposes in metal shop while in the auto shop the individual can tinker with engines to his heart,s content. MR. RAYMOND MOORE -'TF ' --as l A
