Both the drafting and sewing departments have been relatively obscure until recent years. With Miss Muiner and Mrs. Simonitsh heading their respective departments, they are slowly coming into the limelight at St. Marys. The sewing class undertook some interesting projects. Besides just sewing for themselves, some of the students made clothes for the dolls the student council delivered to families along with food and other toys. They also made curtains for the girls lockerroom. Senior Susan Boutross won second place in the 'Meet Marie' con- test sponsored by Butterick Patterns. Miss Muiner brought with her a third dimension to drafting. This was the construction of kites that her Drafting 1 students attempted to fly on the football field. The weather co-operated but some of the kites didn't. The room doubled as a kitchen when wax was melted for candles that were made. Drafting II spent most of the year designing houses. Miss Muiner might have been new, but her voice and step were familiar to any student who frequented the pop and candy machines.
