Earlville High School 1950 Yearbook (Earlville, NY) - Full Access

ART DEPARTmEnT :f HE Art Department functions in many school activities. Whenever we are in need of posters, invita– tions to parties, back stage scenery for plays, designs and decorations for school parties, an<;l programs, our first thought and last resource is the art department. In the grades, Mrs. Walker is responsible for seasonal projects. Her "Opportunity Class" does vari– ous types of handwork. The Craft Class works with plastics, hooked rugs, knitting, block prints and ele– mentary weaving. A class in Representation does work in pastels , making of posters, and work for school publications, such as our yearbook. There is also a class in Mechanical Drawing which is taught geomet– ric constructions, orthographic projections, and isometric drawings. HOmEmAKinG DEPARTmEnT q HE eighth grade homemaking class started a club called the "Smart Cookies." This name was suggested by a class member. The club gave a party for the Industrial Arts class of seventh and eighth grade boys. They also had a good time studying table manners. The girls enjoyed choosing teams and playing a game to see which team could think of more "Do's" and "Don'ts" in table etiquette. Several girls enjoyed serving at the dinners which have been held in our school for cQUnty school groups. The girls learned a great deal about table setting and serving. The class in Interior Design hopes to improve the appearance of the homemaking center hy putting ~heir new ideas into practice. 47
