Vocational SHOP and HOME EC Offer both A valuable curriculum of pract- ical arts offered at Western includes home economics, metal and wood shops, mechanical drawing, and in- dustrial arts. Junior high girls and senior high electives, who take Home Econom- ics, study food preparation and serving, nutrition, interior decorat- ing, and child care. Emphasis is also placed on sewing garments and needlework. Thus girls receive in- sight into household management. Mrs. Camille Cambier is depart- ment chairman. The Industrial Arts program, headed by Mr. Daniel Rowe, gives not only valuable theory but also many hours of practical experience. Junior high students, taking metal and wood shop, make many useful home articles. More difficult projects, such as cabinet making, are achieved by the electives. JY MECHANICAL DRAWING students learn many new and valuable skills. George Rush, Bob Longo, and Paul Richards consult with Mr. LaPerriere before beginning a new project. 42

Expanded Library Highly indicative of the academic goals pursued at Western is the In- structional Materials Center located in the newly expanded library, under the direction of Mr. Michael Minich and Mrs. Mary Alice Saf- ford. Channeling all subject matter into a single source for supple- mentary research and independent study, the library continues to ex- pand its role in the educational process. Over 3,000 students use the library every month with an average circulation of ninety books per day. The additional shelving has provided space for many new books. The periodical supply, film and record sources, audio-visual, and conference facilities heighten the library's prestige. Mrs. SalTord's forty-nine li- brary aides and Mr. Minich's highly trained group of AVA boys have given invaluable service throughout the year. INDEPENDENT STUDY in the quiet of the AVA Room helped Sharon Lemasters pre- view a filmstrip for her report on the California Gold Rush. IB l ll Y I li, inn C MRS. SAFFORD explains the correct way to catalog books to student librarians, Barbara Poff and Marcia Schuffert. 44 SPLICING FILMS isn't easy, but with the help of Mr. Minich, Bill Hoppa was able to return the film to class within minutes.
