Switch" was the main topic of
conversation among the Vocational
Economics girls and the Vocational
Agricultural boys as they eX-
changed places again this year, at
Northern High School. The switch
started December 2 and lasted I'M
til December l6.
The boys were occupying the
foods laboratory making cakes,
pies, candy, cookies, and some
days preparing a full balanced
meal.
The ten days they were actively
engaged in the foods laboratory
they set up the following sched-
ule:
-Four days-cooking; two days
art work (color harmony. Each
boy must know what color socks
and tie to wear with any particu-
lar colored suit.
One day laundry; each boy
must learn to operate the washing
machine and the clothes dryer. One
day-sewing; each boy must learn
to sew on buttons and operate the
sewing machine. One day-demon-
stration by Katherine Close of the
Potomac Edison Company. One
day-combined all the ideas which
they learned in foods and prepared
a final well balanced meal.
Cooks Are Gentlemen"
Says Miss Speicher, one of the
boys Core teachers, with the
tantalizing aromas produced by the
senior boys, I feel that some good
work must have been done. Oh,
the pies, the cakes, spaghetti and
meat balls, how good they smelled.'
"They make us think of Robert
Burton who said, Cookery has be-
come an art, a noble science; cooks
are gentlemen said Miss SPEECH

SchooI Band
 Needs Instruments

Instruments are needed by the Palmer High School to build in- terest in the music department. While it is possible that the school board may be able to help in acquiring some of the instru- ments, the thought has occurred that there are probably good many band instruments that are still usable-tucked away, un- ussl, in the community.
 If there are any instrument owners in the community who would like to donate their unused instruments to the school it could be big boost in building music . department of which the com munity will be proud. Lee Plumb ley, band master, is eager to be- gin building new band material, and the instruments will be put to good use. Let's look around in the closets and attic and see what's in that box or case. All ; type horrs and drums are needed.
