Are you tired of merely blending into the background at parties? If so, take one of the interesting new courses offered by the Home Economics Department. The days when a home economics course encompassed little more than simple clothes construction and design are long past. Such varied subjects as child care, personality development, and family relations are all carefully considered in the course called Family Living. Other new courses such as Clothing and Wardrobe Con¬ struction are planned to aid a girl in quest of a new, attractive appearance and personality. With such an abundance of charm as is exhibited bv mem- bers of any one of these courses, Woburn High males had best be on their guard! Miss Dunbury’s class seems enjoyable. 13

World History Sophomore Class Advisor Key Club Advisor TOMORROW’S VOTE IN THE MAKING There is no subject matter more pertinent to the understanding of the vast, complex world in which we live than Social Studies. Why? Because every problem that plagues our society is a consequence of some past historical event. In view of this fact, Woburn High offers Ancient History, World Geography, and American History as a prerequisite to the senior-year Problems of Democracy course. In this course all the aspects of our democratic system are analyzed in depth, to afford each student true insight into and con¬ sequent understanding of our way of government. Likewise, no subject matter offers as many diversified applications in later life as Social Stud¬ ies. Who knows? The memory of a political issue expounded in an American History or a P.O.D. class might well determine in future years the party that you belong to, the newspaper that you read, or even the vote that you cast. 12

Students have been very impressed with the new library, which has books, magazines, pamphlets, and periodicals galore. A reference room, a large reading room, and two conference rooms are part of the new library. Naturally, the students can now study or do research work in an atmosphere conducive to con¬ centrated mental activity. Our library, under the efficient direction of Miss Helen Sheeran, has a twofold purpose: to supply the immediate needs of the stu¬ dent body and to stimulate a desire for continuing education in later life through the use of libraries.
