The Home Economics Department This year there were sixty girls enrolled in our Home Economics classes. From these courses the girls acquire knowledge concerning everyday living. Our foods project was actually put into practice by the serving of hot lunches to students who ate dinner at school. The study of beautification of the home was carried out by redecoration of the kitchen in the Home Economics department. The Junior and Senior Home Economics class accomplished this by painting the furniture and making new curtains. In the spring the girls had a style show in which they modeled all the clothing made during the year. Besides the regular classes during the school year, students were required to take a specific project during the summer months. This may be sewing, baking, cooking, or anything which they feel will be of special benefit to them. Thereby students get extra practice in some phase of this work. Miss Sutherland, who has charge of the regular classes, also supervises this summer work. Agriculture There are forty-five students enrolled in the vocational agricultural classes of 1943-44. Each year the department accomplishes the following units of work: The Freshmen cull poultry, test milk, learn farm program planning, feeding and care of poultry, and take some work in plant husbandry. The Sophomores judge livestock, take a course in feeds and feeding, and also study landscaping, farm mechanics, orchards and small fruits. Animal husbandry constitutes another part of their work. The combined Junior and Senior classes alternate each year with the study of dairy cattle management, farm records, farm buildings, shop work, farm machinery, tractors and engines, and conservation. Mr. Rowe deserves much credit for the good work he does in promoting the interests of the Agriculture Department. His department is something of which West Salem can be proud. Pep Band The Pep Band is an organization planned for the purpose of giving inspiration to the boys playing on the basketball team. This band plays during the quarter and half of the game and at the pep meetings held every Friday afternoon. To those who participated in playing, we wish to express our appreciation.
