Standing: Mr. Brown, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Hughes. 3ijt(i Period: Sfiop, Home Gc. Art, Bind, 3o reign Language Homemaking and Industrial Arts have been grouped together in the annual only for purposes of organizing the book - not because these two departments are operating under a single head. In order to appreciate the work being done, and the practical learning that takes place in these two departments, a person has to visit the classes. Both departments are well equipped, and both are staffed by competent, well trained teachers. It ' s probably true that in no other two departments in school will there be found as much enthusiasm on the part of the students in classes as in the home economics and shop departments. In order to keep the class pictures in the same section of the annual with the staff members, home economics and shop pictures appear together on the following pages. 92

s y£ The picture above shows students at work in o ie of the two main school shops. The instructor in this shop is Mr. Hughes, and most jobs done here are concerned with wood- working. Boys learn correct use of a number of power tools as well as hand tools. Mrs. Orr, one of the homemaking teachers demon- strates childcare for future homemakers in one of her classes. All phases of homemaking are included in the courses in home economics at Junior High. The picture below catches two home economics girls checking the oven to see what ' s cookin ' . The home economics students have the benefits of using modern, efficient equipment, and the purpose is to learn to use it to the best possible advantage. Mr. Brown watches two of his students, (below) as they check electrical equipment in the shop. The use of test- ing meters and other devices is one of many valuable lessons learned as the boys go through these shop experiences. R ■ ■ M 1 « r i
