Clockwise arrangement of the books made it much easier for students to locate needed books and periodicals. Characterizing the many moods and events that took place in this past school year, the library’s bulletin boards and display case exhibited a colorful change of scenery for weary students. Carpeted floors, acoustical tiles, and refinished tables all helped to create an air of refine- ment seldom found in school libraries. One great accomplishment during the foregoing year was the use of name tags for library assistants.

1 i Home Economics Brawn Power Finds Place in Kitchen “Abolish dishwashing forever!” Such was the feeling before and after depart- ment head Mrs. Effie Hoyle announced that the new dishwasher would be used on special occasions such as buffet dinners and P.T.A. teas. Chairs and tables refinished by previous seniors gave a flavor of home to the new multi-purpose room. Two sep- arate sewing rooms and five unit kitchens were added features for the classes. All of the home ec students were indoc- trinated in cooking, sewing, child care, per- sonal grooming, house plans, and home nursing. The co-ed senior classes were given special home ownership seminars in which speakers were invited to come. Guided tours through special furniture and interior decorating studios captured the students interest. Entirely different this year was a special class offered to those boys and girls who wanted to enter a busi- ness field connected with such items as alterations or food services. 28
