Commercial Mis The Commercial Arts Department, another relatively new department at R. H. S., has made great advances since its beginning. Linder the instruction of Mr. Kolva, students in the depart- ment have learned quite a bit in the courses offered. Since very few of the students intend to further their formal education after graduation, the commercial arts prepares the more conscien- tious students to go out and secure employment along that line of work. The courses offer stu- dents enlightenment on the type of work they plan to do and gives them information regard- ing various positions for which they may apply. Lost time is never found again. —Franklin

Juture Momemakers of America We are the future homemakers of America; we face the future with warm courage and high hopes, for we have the clear consciousness of seeking old and precious values; for we are build- ers of homes, homes for America's future, homes where living will be the expression of everything that is good and fair, homes where truth, love, security, and faith will be results, not dreams. We are the future homemakers of America. We face the future with warm courage and high hopes. The above is the creed recited by each girl when she becomes affiliated with the Future Homemakers of America, a national organiza- tion. As an integral part of the program of home economics in schools, the association offers ar opportunity for the development of the pupils initiative in planning and carrying out activities related to the art of homemaking. The purpose of the organization includes an appreciation of the satisfaction of homemaking, an emphasis on the importance of home mem- bership, a promotion of international good will, and to foster the development of creative lead- ership in home and community life. Under the supervision of its advisor, Miss Camilletti, the Robertsdale future homemakers sponsored such activities as hot lunches, a Valen- tine's Day Dance, Thanksgiving, and Christmas parties. Club membership includes sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Officers are Alice Swope, president, Marga- ret Heath, vice-president, and Leah Corbin, secre- tary-treasurer.

Judus tria I Arts One of our fast growing departments is the Industrial Arts where our boys can show off their ingenuity. Walking into this department when classes are going on, is like walking into a huge industrial plant, for everybody is work- ing as though it were an assembly line. The students are taught the principles of mechanical drawing, blue print reading, drafting, and other subjects pertaining to the arts. Guided by the instructor, Mr. Black, each student selects a project which he must com- plete in order to make the grade. His grade level determines what project the student undertakes. If the student is very industrious, he may turn out two or more projects. Several seniors have completed such pieces as coffee tables, gun cabinets, and kitchen cabinets. The department ordinarily holds open house in the spring. There the boys display their crafts of which they are quite proud. It isn't so much knowing a whole lot, as knowing a little and how to use it that counts. —Steffens
