That was our les- son today in Home Economics. I sure do enjoy the class. l can't wait till we learn to make dressing table cov- ers and things for our homes. Last week at the state convention we saw some demonstrations. We girls surely learn a lot of new things at the big meetings. A girl can take Home Economics for six years at school. It is required in seventh and eighth grades and is an elective subject for tour years of Senior High. In the Senior year it's really different. The class is all discussion. Home Nursing, First Aid, Family Relations, Child Care, Good Nutrition, and other sub- jects pertaining to homemaking are studied.

What may happen tomorrow? We're not so crazy about studying history but neither are we sure that we want history to repeat itselt. In our social studies classes we gain background information on which to build for ourselves a better world. We begin as kids in seventh and eighth grades in the core curriculum which combines our Eng- lish and Social Studies. As Freshmen we get an Standing: Miss Jones, Miss Kline, Mr, Freeman, Mr. Schwa Panellafli ifilnclicates head of department. insight into problems faced by those who govern and are governed. We turn back the clock to ancient and medieval civilizations in the lOth grade. The study of United States history oc- cupies our Junior year as we gain a new appre- ciation of the American way of life. We climax our studies with a review of present day problems. The good old days that Dad talks about will never return, but the more we learn about them, the more confidently we can face the future. n.

We ,l!eL,1 Buda! Me fvwzfawi fbaz AGRICULTURE I've learned some swell ideas on how we can make more money from our cows. l know I haven't been farming tor twenty years like Dad has, but there are all sorts of new methods. We've been learning them in Agricul- ture classes at school. Just anyone can't take Agriculture. You have to live on a farm or work there so you can get practical experience. At school we have the farm shop where we learn to take care of tools and machinery. A large number ot veterans are study- ing Agriculture under the job training program. Mr. Ward and Mr. Gensicke visit them on their own farms and the veterans attend night classes. Our school has the best agriculture pro- gram of the suburban schools and the largest in the state. The Ag Department witness a herd classification sponsored by the Na- tional Holstein Association, Mr. McDowell examines a buckrake built by one of the veterans in their training program.
