AIDS FOR FUTURE FAMILY LIFE Homemaking in this day and age requires a neat balance with homemakers often in career jobs outside the home or taking part in a wide variety of civic and social affairs. Home- makers need to be excellent budgetcers, skilled decorators, and marvelous cooks, to name only a few of their accomplishments. Classes in all areas of homemaking, cooking, sewing, child Care, decorating are conducted in a businesslike but informal atmosphere. Here, it is possible to eat or wear a successful lesson! MRS.

PREPARATION FOR THE FUTURE With an eye to the times and the profits available in the bminess world, the Commercial Department offers courses to prepare their students to take jobs soon after they graduate. Emphasis is placed upon the basis of a good education in English, science, and mathematics, Courses in bookkeeping, typing, shorthand, general business, business communications, and law provide an adequate back- ground for future uses Distributive Education is a vocational course, but it is also a part of the business education picture. A number of changes took place this year in the teaching personnel. Miss Eola Gunstream, long head of the department, retired at mid-year, and Mrs. Mable Swanzy became acting chairman. MISS 1301.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS AIDS VOCATIONS Industrial Arts courses taught at Jefferson include Printing I and 11. Metal Shop I and II, Wood Shop I and II, General Drafting and Architectural Drafting. All of these courses draw Capacity classes every hour in the day. Interest in these subjects, along with many others, is expected to step up sharply as the new Vocational High School is built. Print shop classes enjoyed the luxury of an air-condi- tioned shop during the past year, a rarity in this school built to be cooled by cross ventilation and natural Gulf Coast breezes, However, student projects in other classes were turned out in great volume and with excellence.
