In Life

A s people walked in the upstairs hall of the
9-10 building, the smell of something
cooking made everyone's mouth water.
This was a foods class, just one of many classes
offered in Home Economics.
For students who decided they wanted to learn
skills in the kitchen, Home Ec offered a wide variety
of choices. In Introduction to Foods and Intermedi-
ate Foods, students learned how to use appliances,
understand good nutrition and prepare a wide
selection of foods.
Juniors and seniors who mastered the skills of
basic food preparation, were able to further their
skills with Specialty Foods and Independent Study
classes. Students prepared foods such as pastas,
jellies, tortillas and eclairs in Specialty foods.
Independent Study students were able to assist
other students in preparing foods and also keep
records of the progress of these students.
Since cooking wasn't for everyone, some
students decided to take a class in clothing. Classes
such as Introduction to Clothing and Intermediate
Clothing taught students to be familiar with fabrics
and even construct their own garments.
For a more in depth study of clothing, some
students took Advanced Fabrics and Independent
Study of Clothing. Students studied and applied
advanced techniques in construction of garments
and helped beginning students.
Other classes offered in Home Economics were
Adult Living and Child Development. Adult Living
helped seniors become familiar with what makes a
good marriage work and the stress some marriages
undergo. In Child Development, juniors and seniors
learned how to care for children under six years of
age.
Wherever interests were, the Home Economics
department had a class for it.
