BRENDA Bates and Debbie Grasso put teacher’s instruc- tions to practical use by making a new dress from a pattern. HOMEMAKING intern, Miss McLaine, and Shirley Wilson watch as a choice piece of meat is cut and pre- pared for freezing. Home Economics Course Changes with Space Age Stirrin’ andStitchin' are not the only things that constitute the home economics classes. Realizing that many homemakers have dif- ficulty in working out budgets, Mrs. Shaw incorporated a study of money management to help girls learn how to select food, clothing, and home furnishings. Because many girls had an interest in baby sitting, a course was taught in the care of children and what to do in case of an emergency. The study of different cuts of meat was accentuated with a visit to Sewell's Ranch to watch the slaughter, preparation, and packaging of meat for market. Girls also learned how to prepare wholesome menus, using good sense in economics and thrift, by a trip to the Thriftway Food Store. Films on various home ec. subjects also helped stimu- late the course. This year the home economics classes were fortunate in having as an intern, Miss McLaine, a homemaking major from F.S.U., who helped Mrs. Shaw teach classes. MRS. SHAW explains the nutritional value of certain vegetables and how to spend money wisely in buying some. MRS. RUTH SHAW teaches home economics at Umatilla High School.

Ag Boys Beautify School with Plants and Shrubs Without the help of the agriculture depart- HEWEL Enfinger uses a vice to glue two boards together.

Since the end of last year, the ag boys have started to grow plants and trees around the school’s sign and buildings. Ag periods were used to unplant, transport, and replant these shrubs and trees. Beginning ag boys received instructions in working in the greenhouse. They learned how to pot, plant, and care for the many varieties of flowers growing in it. Classroom instruction was also given on the types of fertilizers and the care of orange trees. Advanced ag boys learned how to use the tractor and the shop power equipment. Many agriculture periods were used to help get U.H.S.'s new football field ready for next year's football games. MR. JACK MIL- LICAN teaches the U.H.S. agri- culture courses. AGRICULTURE boys have played a major role in beautify- ing the school grounds by planting trees, shrubs, and flowers. 28
