HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics rooms in the high school create a warm, domestic atmosphere. The spaci- ous kitchens are often the source of tantalizing odors which waft through the halls. Learning to cook and sew is not the only goal in Home Economics. The course is designed to give a complete picture of the responsibilities faced by any homemaker. Mrs. Wagner and Mrs. Arthur convey the principles of homemaking in order that the girls will be fully prepared for their future positions as wives and mothers. Mrs. Wagner and Mrs. Arthur have the peril- ous duty of sampling the cooking products of the Home Economics students. P -j ' H2? ' m£ ' ' ■ 1 m ' HW— ' ; : ' 1 .

BUSINESS A prime example of the expanding curriculum at W.H.S. is the Commercial Arts Department. This year Office Practice, General Business, Business Law, and Business English were added to the curriculum. The typing students punch away at the keys, and the shorthand students attempt to transcribe their mysterious scribblings. The business teachers are kept busy directing this flow of en- ergy as their contribution to the effici- ency of the secretaries of tomorrow. In addition to helping her students shorten their hands and keep their books, Mrs. Bunce must cope with the annual staff as faculty yearbook advisor. LIBRARY Miss Pesta ' s efforts in typing class result in more efficient typing and calloused finger- tips. The comparatively new Westerville High School library is thriving and growing. The stock of books and periodicals is constantly enlarged. The focal points of each year are the paper-backed book fairs which make available a wealth of books in inexpensive editions. Presiding over the library is head librarian, Miss Elizabeth Passmore. Miss Passmore has her own incomparable style of maintaining silence in the library: Lover-boy, are you in here to study or talk? or, more bluntly, Sweetie, shut up!

DRIVER EDUCATION Another sport coached by Mr. J. William Sadler is driver education. The student drivers finish this course either whole or holy. The course is composed of instruc- tion in traffic laws and in the mechanics and operation of an automobile. Students taking this course usually take driver education for one semester and world geography the other. PHYSICAL EDUCATION They said it couldn ' t be done. Boys ' and Girls ' phy- sical education classes have both been conducted at the same time on the same floor this past year. Mr. Sadler kept his boys in line while Mrs. Gantz and Mrs. Forman made their girls toe the mark. The Physical Education program has become more intensified this year as it fol- lowed President Kennedy ' s physical fitness program. . . .. | k HBI 1 k -- ' r MM m ■?■ ■ ;:■ Mmmm The board of education supplies Mr. Sadler with tranquilizers for his Driver Education classes.
