Girls Study in Home Ec. Lab To prepare for a home and family, home economics students study all fa- cets of home management: meal prep- aration, clothing construction, child care, home furnishings, appliances, and flower-arranging. They also take units on personality and grooming. In a well-equipped kitchen and laundry, girls put into practice the knowledge they have acquired in class. Home Ec. I students plan and prepare a complete meal and make one outfit. Girls enrolled in Home Ec. II classes concentrate on the fine points of cook- ing and sewing, study interior decor- ation, and take other advanced courses in home management.

Mrs. Rowan attended Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and received her B.S. in homemaking education from Georgia Southern College. She teaches Homemaking II, economics, and U.S. history. MRS. W.

Business Classes Strive Practice makes perfect! That is the fond hope of teachers and students in the commercial department. Typing classes learn the mechanics of the typewriter and the fine points of letter and manuscript typing. They work for speedy, accurate transcriptions. Speed is also an important factor to shorthand students as they take dicta- tion and then transcribe what they have written into good English. Business English is required of those choosing the complete commercial pro- gram. Many also elect business arith- metic and bookkeeping. In distributive co-operative training and distributive education, two on-the- job programs, students learn about the actual production and marketing of products. These students leave for their jobs at the end of fourth period. Typing I and Shorthand I instructor, MISS SARAH DEAN ADAMS, earned her A.B. in English from VSC and her M.Ed. at the University of Georgia. MR. W. E. GLENN and MR. JAMES P. HORN take a coffee- break during their free period. Mr. Glenn received his B.S. Ed. and M.S.Ed. in distributive education from the Univer- sity of Georgia. He later attended Georgia Southern and Penn State. Mr. Horn received his B.S. in social studies from Troy State College and his M.S. in school administration from Auburn University. Mr. Horn teaches DCT classes. 26
