carefully shakes powdered enamel on a copper disk while Joyce Roberts
uses a file to smooth down the edges of a copper piece which will be a
pretty earring.

girfs help boys learn to cook, boys help girls learn about files, wrenches
and house plans.

Since Oregon's Centennial celebration is uppermost in the minds of everyone, McLoughlin Junior High school themed a recent
homemaking class style show to the "Past and the Present." Girls who have been enrolled in sewing the past semester modeled clothing
which they made, and others wore dresses from days gone by or heirloom gowns which ( are treasured possessions. The setting con
trasted a stagecoach, which provided transportation one hundred years ago, with a rocket, symbol of today's space age.
Today's pictures taken at Central Point Junior High school are indicative of a new trend in teaching procedures. At stated intervals
during the school year boys in shop work and girls taking homemaking trade classes. Boys join the girls to learn a little about kitchens,
table etiquette and proper manners; girls go to the shop rooms and take lessons in crafts or learn how to put a new washer in a
kitchen faucet, aided by boys in the class.

The dress modeled here by Cheryl Linn was worn by the late Martha A. Barnum for her wedding
day April 6, 1862 in Winona, Minn. Of grey alpaca, the dress is worn over a bustle and lined
throughout with very fine sateen. The trim is bands of blue alpaca and pure silk; rosettes and
buttonholes were hand worked. Marilyn Harwood modeled her balloon party frock of blue-green
paisley disciplined cotton, and Julie Latham wore a dark orange, cotton tweed empire type dress
trimmed with pal green bow. Julie's headache band and shoes were also pale green.
