4afmuaaJ A foreword, like an introduction should be brief. I would much prefer you readers to iudge this book by your own observations rather than by my statements. We have chosen Lights for our theme this year because of the abundance of elec- tricity made with nearby water power. North of SHS is The Bonneville Power Plant, one of the most powerful substations in the entire Northwest. It has been the aim of the Twelfth volume of the Kla-Ta-Wa to bring together and to make available in compact form a picture and word review of events at Snohomish High during the past school year.

clean in ' CERAMICS With the assistance of Joe Clayton, instruc- tor, the ceramics class made many beautiful pieces of pottery. These pieces included vases, bowls, planters, cookie iars, table ornaments and other items. To make a piece of pottery, a mold was made and allowed to set for one and a half to two months. The mold was then filled with clay and fired. When removed in two or three days, the pottery was painted almost any color. ART If you want to learn about art, take a class from Mr, Roberts. The beginner's classes con- sisted of exploration into the different fields of art, such as commercial, industrial, com- munity, and graphic where basic designs were stressed in each field of study. The advanced class gave one an opportunity to continue to develop interests and talent as well as ex- amine new materials and techniques. The show case near the office was used by the art students for gaining experience in window- display work and was changed every two weeks. BIOLOGY Another interesting class at Snohomish High School was biology, under the direction of Skipper Steve Smith. Among the things taught were the parts of fish, animals, and human anatomy. Over a hundred insects were identified during the year. Wild flowers were collected in the spring, and a highlight of the course was a trip on the Sea Scouts' Ship, the Ranger, spent on the Sound with a hot sun over head. Thus ended another year of biolo- QY- HOME EC The Boys' Home Economics class had two sections this year taught by Miss Moore and Mrs. Condell. The boys in these classes en- ioyed one semester of cooking and one semes- ter of sewing. For sewing most of the boys made long-sleeved wool shirts, or vests, or short-sleeved cotton shirts. The care and se- lection of clothes and also boy-girl relation- ships were units studied. In cooking, the boys learned to prepare different kinds of food along with appropriate meal planning and table etiquette. At the end of the year a trip was taken to the Pilchuck River where the boys cooked a meal over an open fire. PAGE FIVE
