7a 'J Jfamemakwut Planning menus to comply with government restrictions and cooking vegetables in new ways are some of the tasks performed in the foods laboratory by Union's future homemakers. Youthful seamstresses are taught through wise planning and buying how to dress well on bal- anced budgetg while problems of personality, grooming, social poise, and etiquette confront personal regimen classes. Thus do girls at Union seek the feminine arts in addition to their intellectual and cultural interests.

7 fmMe'7a1w1 Coffee tables, lamp bases, base-ball bats, feeding troughs, and service boards! These are only a few of the varied articles made by Mr. Marckwardtls woodshop classes. A new service honor roll board was made by these classes when over 1,000 names filled the other board to overflowing. Mechanical drawing classes are unusually large this year because of student desire to get technical training for the army, navy, and factory. Metal work, machine shop, auto mechanics, electricity, and Printing! also train for the times. Right - Turner, MR. GEORGE GUY Below-MR. ERNEST VREELAND, MR. ROY CHAMBERLAIN. MR. CHARLES RAVER. MR.

Znqlidfr., fbedalle, 1' - - Interpretations of American democracy were featured by Miss Perschbacher, chairman of the English department, and her fellow English teachers this past year. Miss Perschbacher feels that if students of today are to promote world democracy after the war, they should thoroughly under- stand the beliefs and freedoms they will be called upon to practice. Bible narrative, a study of the Bible from the literary standpoint, was resumed this year, for the the first time since Reverend Reuben S. Smith's retirement in 1935. Miss Smallidge, English teacher, reorganized the class this year. With frequent debates and short daily hymn sings to stimulate student interest, the course proved worthwhile. The art of clear expression and the joy of good reading occupy all junior and senior high classes. Left -- MISS OLGA PERSCHBACHER Below-MISS LURA SIPE.
