Vx v xv .yi 'a N. W... Mrs. Winn's sixth period students, Carla Bibbs and Donna Graham, prepare hamburgers as their portion of the meal that completed the final cooking project. K l Test Tubes And Measuring Cups What are students conjuring up in sci- ence and home-making courses? Proper food habits, safe kitchen procedures, and sanitary practices topped the list as Home Economics classes began another school year. Through studies and participation in many labs, students were able to apply the four basic food groups to preparing bal- anced meals. Perfect taste was not a re- quirement since the future homemakers were only tested on preparation and organi- zation. Second semester was devoted to consumer workshops which included price and performance of small appliances. ln addition, the classes prepared foods from several different cultures. Chemistry students, also using rec- ipes carried out various experiments. By lab procedures ranging from glass-bending to making oxygen, students completed their course in chemistry. ln addition to observing microscopic creatures, biology students dissected animals, a new encoun- ter. Physics classes learned through actual experimentation the momentum golf balls and baseballs. In order to find this answer, the students played golf and baseball. Through careful procedures the home-eco- nomics and science classes learned, by participation, some of the characteristics of life. Home Economics And Sciencef63

Finely Tuned: Engines The sounding of the whistle . . . the laps around the gym . . . the state of near un- consciousness all a part of physical education This department takes great strides in coordinating physical and mental ability and gives the student a thorough knowledge of various recreational sports. During P.E. classes, students' minds may be at rest, but their bodies as a whole are put into action with the strenuous exer- cises vital to the building of stronger per- sons. This physical development is basic to good mental health and forms an essen- tial part of a well-rounded education. While the students in P.E. are tuning their body engines, auto-mechanic stu- dents are busy tuning car engines. ln this course, young men work at a vocation which will benefit them in the future. With the knowledge gained in the auto-mechan- And Bodies ics classes, students are able to get jobs in garages, gasoline service stations, or ser- vice departments tuning cars. They be- come skilled in making car repairs by working under the supervision of an exper- ienced mechanic. With the skills learned in school, students gain extra confidence in working alone.
