THE VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT

In a day and age when vocational training has gained such importance, Mead can be justly proud of its
homemaking department and its agricultural department. Operating under the Smith-Hughes plan, we have some
of the best equipped class rooms in Nebraska. Take a look at the pictures below, and you'll see what we mean
by practical training.

HoME EcoNoMICS I & II
If you like pretty clothes on a m1mmum budget, here's
the class for you.

MISS MARIAN McNAUGHT

HoME EcoNOMICS III
Here's a class where the girls learn how to cook
and why they have failures as all good cooks. even
the best, occasionally do. Remember this, cooks
are made, not born. Why not take the first step in
the art of good cooking-meet Miss McNaught.

AGRICULTURE
In a farming community-in an environment where our MR. NORMAN GUSTAFSON
livelihood depends upon the soil, no high school class comes
closer to filling the actual needs of a community than agri-
culture. Mr. Gustafson, instructor of the course, also .owns
and operates his own farm.
