ART Marketing course aids selling ability The art department, headed by Mr. Dick Voll, offered a large variety of cour- ses to expand students' skills in the arts. Through art students creatively express- ed their ideas and emotions. Since most art courses lasted only a half year, stu- dents were able to explore different branches of this media. The courses available were hand crafts, sculpturing, calligraphy, painting, art marketing, and other facets of art. For the business minded art student, art marketing was continued this year, taught by Mrs. Margaret Montag. In this course students learned how to sell their own creative items. The department added a new course called Mash and Mix to keep up with modern trends in art. s-Q I ' 1, X 4 Barb Risberg and Mary Anne Leuschel complete final process of bookbinding.

HOME ECONOMICS Bachelor LIIVITIQ gains popularity The home economics department start- ed an interesting experiment this year. It was called the capsule system, in which learning was based on the individ- ual rather than a group. The system proved to be very advantageous for stu- dents and will be continued. Bachelor Living became so popular this year, that another class had to be added. All home economics classes put on a Christmas Boutique for the first time, where they displayed and sold candies, cakes, quilts, and various other items made by the students. Contests which determined the winner of the Betty Crocker Homemaker Award and the Crisco Homemaker Award were won by two seniors for their outstanding ability this year. lVlrs. Pansy Nofziger coordinated a program for students to get out into the community to learn about child develop- ment. Although they had limited time, they worked with nursery school and kindergarten children. Sewing classes were also well attended. They didn't use as many individual cap- sules as the food classes did, but many girls went into advanced sewing. One of the home economic depart- ment's main goals was to include both boys and girls, at which they succeeded beyond expectancy. Nlrs.
