Homemaking girls Study practical arts This year, as in others. Home Economics provided experience in all areas of homemkaking to meet the needs of the individual and family. Child Care, Foods, Home and Family Living, Housing and Home Furnish- ings, and Sewing were offered courses in this field. Skills such as tailoring garments and preparing ho- liday refreshments were acquired. The girls also learned the importance of the time management fac- tor, and how to select china, silverware, and glassware. A number of different speakers visited the home- making department, including Mrs. Eileen Odgen from the Kansas Gas and Electric Company. Both boys and girls participated in the Home and Family Living course. Each year there has been an in- crease in the number of boys enrolled. In the last two years there were only two boys enrolled in the course, but this year there were 22 male participants in Home and Family Living. Senior Becky Root gains valuable experience in cooking by prepar- ing quick breads. Senior Theresa Thimm works to complete her sewing project by measuring the accuracy of her pattern.

Skills developed in SE industrial arts To train for better use of leisure time, is the goal of the Industrial Arts Department, according to Mr. Ralph Schaude, department head. Students learned the basics of the course and then began to produce fine finished products. In architectural design, students drew up a model of a house and then in the woodworking classes assem- bled a model of it. In auto mechanics, students worked on cars pro- vided by the Board of Education. When the cars were in running condition, they were allowed to work on their own cars. Other courses this year included Auto Informa- tion, Mechanical Drawing, Metals, and Plastics. Mr. Corwin Vanderford was a new addition to the teaching staff of the Industrial Arts. He instructed stu- dents in metals and plastics. Senior Brian Savoy uses his manual skills in an industrial arts class. Mr. James Deckinger, MS. Mr. Bill Lantz, M.S. Mr. William Draut, M.A. Mr. H. M.
