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.

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.

The courses provide a knowledge in the op- eration of various tools and machines, and teach an ap- preciation for the techniques of industry. Pupils also learn safety habits and methods of organization which might aid them in any vocation. The class week is divided between textbook study and practical application. Drafting, also called mechanical drawing, is recom- mended for those planning careers in engineering or any other technological field. After the basic exploratory course, in which pupils may advance at individual speeds, students may enroll in Engineering Drawing and Architec- tural Drawing. Mr. Strawn, the instructor, hopes that Architectural Drawing may be expanded from the detailed planning of buildings to their actual construction. Advanced VVo0dworking and Furniture Making, also taught by Mr, Strawn, give experience to anyone contem- plating a vocation in carpentry or cabinet making. VVood- working is also a good hobby for one who likes to work with his hands. Students turn out several and varied pieces of furniture. Mr. Davies' students learn to operate an array of fore- boding machines in metal shop class after a few weeks of instruction. This course emphasizes coordination in handl- ing the tools, and could serve as preparation for a trade, These boys develop skills in wood working.
