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.

Drafting, Electronics, Vo. Tech. Technical Skills Promote Creative Endeavors ... and we want a two-car garage, and a fireplace, and . . .” After completing three years of drafting, the students were prepared for drawing architectural sketches and floor plans for the consumer and the constructor. Through the use of their table drafting ma- chines, overhead projector, a printer for copying sketches, and the guidance of Mr. William Jones, the industrious students learned the ap- plications of drafting sketches and drawings in dimensions. While first year students were in- troduced to the basic fundamentals, second year pupils built on their first year knowledge by sketching sections and internal views and fea- tures. Third year students acquired a knowledge of architectural drafting and design, while fourth year pupils achieved more technical, ad- vanced individual work. With the aid of better equipment, the elec- tronics classes, headed by Mr. Charles Brown, gained valuable knowledge through difficult projects such as building five-watt amplifiers, transistor radios, and a neon tester. In conjunc- tion with Thomas Nelson Community College, mechanically-minded boys were taught the skills of automobile mechanics, radio techni- cians, T. V. repairmen, and other industrious and useful jobs.
