Pattern for Progress Students taking practical arts courses gained knowledge and vocational experience as they developed such skills as cooking, sewing, mechanical drawing, and print shop work. Among the yeaHs activities in the Home Economics De- partment was a cookie sale during the lunch periods before Christmas vacation. Providing the Home Economics teachers with plenty of headaches and the neighboring classes with a blend of surprising aromas, was a special fifth period foods class for senior boys. Senior Susan Edmondson was the years outstanding homemaker from Harrison to be awarded the Betty CroCker Homemaking Award. The Industrial Arts department, consisting of graphic arts, metal shop, wood shop, electricity, and drawing classes, trains boys to work expertly with their hands. Special recog- nition goes to Mr. Bill Mace and his printing class who do make up work for THE PROPHET, and to Mr. Dennis Crowe who has initiated many department and school improvements.
