S lgfan jufure app? omeaf Bonnie Hall, Nancy Cox, and Sally Skillman learn the art of cooking. Our Home Economics Department includes various courses in cooking and sewing. The food courses are in- structed by Miss Jesse Bodem and the sewing by Mrs. Doris Butler. Our Home Economics Club began its activities last fall by holding an initiation for our thirty-three new members. Membership is open to all girls who have had one semester of a high school home economics course of cooking or sew- ing, and who are willing to participate in club activities. The purpose of our club is to draw together girls with an interest in home economics and to give them an oppor- tunity to work and learn more about homemaking. Carrying out an annual custom, we held our faculty Christmas tea the . week before Christmas. The foods classes prepared the refreshments for this event and our club officers served it. This year we also held a Christmas Candy Carnival for our members. Each member was presented with mistletoe corsages and received recipes for various types of candies and cookies. Another project, sponsored jointly by our Home Eco- nomics and Future Farmers Clubs, was the planting of six tulip beds in the courtyard between the library and the student center. In addition to our regular meetings with demonstrations on various home economic subjects and contributing to UNICEF, we annually attend the Indian- apolis Home Show. Ruth Anne Kennedy presides as president, Sheila Ann Roberts as vice-president, and Judy Branson as secretary- treasurer. Miss Jesse Bodcm sponsors the group.

Our Commerce Department teaches every skill a person would need when entering the business world. In first year typing we learn the fundamental typing skillsg in second year typing we are drilled for speed and accuracy. Shorthand is based on this same process, learning the basic skills the first year and practicing them the second. Our teacher gives dictation on both old and new transcrip- tion material to build these skills. Our advanced shorthand classes receive the same drill, but at a greater speed. In our bookkeeping, business English, and general busi- ness courses we learn filing, bookkeeping, business termino- logy, business arithmetic, letter writing, and commercial geography. Our office girls are chosen according to their ability from the first and second year commerce classes to help Goldie Craige and Mr. Clay. For Mr. Clay the girls type letters and help him with other office work. The girls who help Goldie collect attendance slips, make a report of them, answer thc telephone, run errands and deliver messages. 23 mist Q-1 eaffl Llrilllefirf SLE FA Sue Barnhorst, Mary Helen Bowlby, Ann Staats and Mary Kay Lambert are improving typing accuracy and speed in commerce class.

Oh, I see says Mike McCalip as Miss XVilliams gives him an idea for an art project. Happy Holidays! This cheery snowman appeared in the showcase to brighten those oftentimes dreary December days. Lfdrf .ggfuclenfa me Creafiue jadnb Students exercised their creative talents in Miss NVilliams' art classes. This year she taught 100 students in her six classes. The beginning students practiced free hand drawing on live models. The lettering classes realized that the style must be appropriate to the product as they lettered posters and place cards. Vocational as well as domestic interests were satisfied as the layout and color scheme of a house were planned in the interior decorating course. Then in dress design class, the students learned the flattery of line and color combination in clothing. Design class was a planning ground for applied design class, and also a source of many SHS displays. First the pupils created unique designs, then they reproduced the designs on cerzunics, rugs, and baskets. Sue Ramsey watches as Fred Thomas creates an original design in advanced design class.
