Home Economics Every girl hopes to one day be the perfect wife and mother. Nothing can give a more beneficial back- ground in the basic homemaking skills than a course in home economics. Besides the fundamentals of cook- ing, sewing, and child care, a student is offered such subjects as interior decorating, furniture refinishing, proper dressing, and good grooming, Since this de- partment has the important chore of preparing our fu- ture homemakers, it holds many benefits for our students. Some future farmers discuss the mechanics of farm machinery with Mr. Core. ,, ,L llllll ii 'Wa' A home economics class learns some facts about the various types of furniture. Agriculture Better farmers has been set as the goal for our students enrolled in the Vocational Agriculture course. Every day these boys strive to reach this goal by par- ticipating in activities and studies that will give them the background to one day be competent farmers. The well run and productive farm is truly the backbone of our nation. The boys are taught about the soil and how to enrich it, farm machinery, the crops they will raise and reap, the care of farm animals, and the many other things essential to successful farm opera- tion. Our future farmers have always placed very high in competition and showmanship, and We are sure that this is a testimonial to the usefulness of this course.

Science In this rocket age, science has become of utmost im- portance to our society. It is with respect for this ever- pressing need that Shawnee has developed an even larger and more advanced science and math program. Our stu- dents are encouraged to obtain a vast knowledge in this field and to exert their minds in putting this knowledge to good use. They are provided with facilities in which they may experiment in trying to explain the questions and theories that are presented to them. Thus, our students are being induced to take an active part in our striving for a better world. u u swf' J l nz c.'s1'ri1v'c' 5 -5 5 'i 5' 5 ns s. v lg mm. 5 'll 5 ll 5 B: Cl ld Ml Yu W I 'I 'L 'w E I rf In -- 1.

Art In an effort to encourage more creativeness among our young people, the Art Department of Shawnee has supplied both the supervision and facilities needed to enable the students to undertake many projects. A sense of accomplishment is probably the greatest asset of this course. Throughout the year, the classes engage in such activities as oil painting, clay work, basket weaving, wood carving, mosaics, and jeweh'y-making. The boys in shop work on one of their many projects. An art student places the finishing touches on his painting. Industrial Arts Students may use this vocational course to prepare for a career in various fields or may acquire a skill just for their own per- sonal enjoyment. Attractive and worth- while projects are undertaken every year by each boy in order to acquaint him with the machinery and the actual assem- bling of his project. Besides the actual shop course, mechanical drawing is pro- vided for those who wish to take it. This gives the boys a background in the read- ing and drawing of blueprints.
