 Is this how it’s done? Mr. Schroeder and Don Scanlon The industrial arts courses were set up on a partially required and partially elective basis this past year. An industrial arts semester course which covered metal, wood, plastics, graphic arts, and leather was required of all seventh grade boys. Eighth graders were also required to take a semester course that covered drawing, electricity, wood, and graphic arts. Beginning in grade nine, the courses were offered as electives on a full year basis. 'Ilie freshmen boys worked diligently at drawing and woodwork the entire year. They drew the plans of their projects to scale and then later built the projects which ranged from lawn ornaments to indoor furniture. Sophomore boys were offered general metals which covered bench and sheet metal work, lathe work, arc welding, oxyacctylcnc welding, forging and foundry work, and also a course in mechanical drawing. The juniors were offered Printing I, mechanical drawing, machine drawing, and electricity shop. Printing II. advanced metalwork, or machine drawing were available to interested senior boys. “Really want to take this apart?

 Take care that you don’t stitch your fingers. Mrs. LaVahn and Karen Chermak Training Grounds For Future We look so pleased because we soon get to taste ’em.” Miss King. Gwen Jencks. and Michaela Dynan Page Twenty-Four Homemakers and Artisans Home Me. was a required subject of all girls in grades seven and eight and was also offered as an elective to senior high girls interested in the basic skills of efficiently running a home. Mrs. orccn LcVahn and Miss Man-King taught their classes both sewing and cooking, therefore. a switch of teachers was not necessary at the end of the first semester. Miss King taught the junior high sections with the help of Miss Peterson who taught one section of the seventh graders. Seventh grade girls began their sewing unit by learning the parts of the sewing machine, the principles involved in material selection, and proper pressing techniques. Miss King agreed that her objective was to teach the girls to coordinate their hands in both sewing and cooking. Mrs. LcVahn taught the senior lngh sections with the addition of one junior high section. The girls learned how to make meals both interesting and nutritious. Ibc classes worked on preparing one course at a time until they were able to prepare a full meal at the end of each unit. The more advanced classes made articles of clothing for themselves each time tackling something more difficult than the time before. The eventual goal was to introduce tailoring to the girls who had the skill and desire to learn this aspect of sewing. In the spring the classes sponsored a stvlc show where they modeled the clothing that they made in class during the year. Senior high home ec did not consist of merely cooking and sewing as main may have thought. It did consist of home and family living, home planning, and home furnishing including: color schemes, design, cost, and the durability of certain furnishings.

Emphasison Individual Sports 'Hie importance of physical education is being stressed more and more each day by the powers of the world. 'Hie Olympic games have emphasized the fact that the world not only watches the scientific and cultural advancements that the nations arc making, but it also keeps an eye on the advances in athletics and physical education. For this reason alone, physical education plays an important part in the school curriculum. The physical education department has five main objectives. 'Ibc first is to develop physical fitness, power, endurance. balance, and stamina. The second is sportsmanship where the need and respect of rules, responsibility and consideration of others is learned. Third, the skills of knowing how to play different games were taught so that they could be used in later life for recreation. Fourth, the plying skills such as safe-landing, dodging, proper lifting, and good safety rules were exercised. Last, but not least, was the acquisition of good health habits where fine health ideals and attitudes were learned. The main difference between the girls’ and boss’ departments was that the girls started out in junior high with team sports and then advanced later to the individual sports that they might later enjoy, such as, badminton, trampoline, tennis, golf, and archery, while the boys played the same team sports all the way through. The seventh graders were initiated into the previously taught six-year course in physical education by starting to play ficldball. vollcvball, basketball, and badminton for the girls sports while the boys learned apparatus, tumbling, wrestling, basketball, and skating skills. In the eighth grade the schedule was much the same with the addition of soccer for the girls and archery for the boys. The seventh and eighth graders were this year divided C’mon now.
