Home Projects Stimulate Creativity Mrs. Ruth Brooks and Miss Shirley Henkle led home economics students on field trips to food stores, furniture outlets, and garment factories. A trip to Bonanza proved to be enjoyable as well as educational. There the students learned how food was prepared in large quantities. After a tour they enjoyed lunch as an extra bonus. Students in home economics classes also learned about the successful management of the home. Mimeographed sheets were handed out regularly with instructions on the simplest, most thorough way to do household tasks. Many students sharpened their abilities to co-ordinate colors when Miss Henkle distributed pictures of rooms to be colored. Sewing proved to be a tedious task when students constructed their first garments. The fitting and cutting of patterns and sewing of exact seams and hemlines were skills to be mastered. For students wishing to pursue their studies in specific areas, advanced courses were offered. wr if 1 A field trip to Bonanza by Home EC students, leads to a better understanding on proper preparation of meats. 21 V. - 4 ' Q x - Qi av mm fe if 'V f ,Q Q t 1 . .

Music Theory Course lnducted Into SHS Curriculum ln the art department this year, SHS was once again fortunate to have the talents of Mrs. Cynthia Sequino. ln an informal class atmosphere, she gave students an opportunity to express themselves through sculpture, painting, and collages. The class also donated time and talent to make posters and signs publicizing school events. Music theory replaced last yearis music appreciation course with Mr. Ken Rudd, band director, as instructor. Through this study students became acquainted with the basics and mechanics of performing music. Students drilled in timing and precision in order to emerge from the course as more accomplished musicians. Noticing a white spot on the canvas, Mrs. Sequino suggests to Pam Keever that more paint be applied. im ,fi .W A Concentrating on the completion of her card- board-string design, Rachel Grubb puts the finishing touches on her project. Individual study and comprehension are the guidelines by which John Stroud and Chuck Dearman learn the techniques involved in music. 28 - Academics
