2), 'iuer (Education DRIVER EDUCATION Driver Education!............Where’s the car? These students are studying theory. The machines are a means of testing visual acuity, depth per- ception, hand steadiness, braking distance, and reaction time. The theory of driving must be studied before the pupils actually get behind the wheel of a car. With Gerald Miller behind the wheel and Mr. Matthew beside him, a part of the class are viewing the measuring of Gerald’s reaction time and his braking distance. What if Gerald’s re- action time is slow? Will he be denied a driver’s license? This may be the thought of many a class member as he nervously awaits his turn. “Now watch for the red light; then brake!” orders Mr. Matthew to James Gehris as Bernice Luckenbill operates the signals of the machine that tests reaction time and braking distance. Waiting for their turn are: Marvin Kulp, Earl Bond, and Frederick McQuate. This knowledge should aid the pupils to be drivers with good judgment, a requisite especially in times of emergencies. “Line the cars side by side!” directs Mr. Matthew to Jane Klopfenstein as she prepares to start the depth perception test. In this test Jane must line up the cars until she thinks they are side by side. What was your score, Jane? Results of this test can be most thought-provoking to anyone who already drives a car.

 Art 11 The class is making mobiles and studying monochromatic heads. A mobile such as you see hanging from the window must be handled with care. The purpose of the head study is to show the proportion of the eyes, ears, etc., to the head. Besides this work pupils engaged in elementary ceramics. MUSIC 9 Mr. Berger looks on, or should we say lis- tens?, while a group of Ninth grade boys, accom- panied by Kay Pfautz, sings one of their favorite songs. What is it, however, the boys are singing? Everyone seems to be enjoying the meter and the message of the lyric. Besides singing the Ninth grade music class also listens to classical records. MUSIC 7 A group of Seventh grade girls sings “Ciri- biribin”, accompanied by Eileen Tobias. With classes such as this, these pupils should become good senior chorus members in the future. Sing, girls! There is relaxation in this harmonious deed. Singing is one art in which all people do the same thing at the same time. ART 9 It should be easy for these students to cos- tume a play for an assembly. Some pupils are painting costumes with water colors, while others are doing sketching. Mrs. Kohl is keeping a scrutinizing eye on them as they do this work. More close observation is necessary when it’s time to clean up at the end of a period. Seventeen

 JJ omema HOMEMAKING 11-12 “Is this a knitted or a purled stitch?” Such a query introduces Homemaking. These Eleventh and Twelfth grade girls had approximately one month to knit a sweater or a pair of anklets. The girls enjoyed the art of knitting after they had passed the complicated step of learning how. HOMEMAKING 10 Even though we live in a machine age, these girls take an unusual interest in learning to knit. Of course Mrs. Ritter was always willing to correct that stitch that had been purled instead of knitted. This group made sweaters, shawls, or socks. We’ll be waiting to see the girls don their finished products. We’ve seen baby socks and booties being made. Who’ll wear these? HOMEMAKING 8 Here are four girls stenciling on their own scarfs. The girls chose their own designs; such as, flowers, leaves, or monograms. We don’t recall seeing these lassies wear the finished product. Wasn’t their work of displaying quality? Oh, a few more years and they may be able to surpass all of us in this fine art. HOMEMAKING 7 “Easy now; you missed a spot. There; now you have it!” is the thought of Mrs. Ritter as she conducts her daily Homemaking 7 class. Here you see Seventh grade girls learning the art of manicuring as Mrs. Ritter looks on. “But, re- member, girls, it is not polite to do this in public,” warns Mrs. Ritter. Nineteen
