Baking Someone Happ Adult living lasts for many years, so all schools try to prepare both young men and young women for this period. Lapel offers six years of classes designed for preparation for family living. The seventh graders learn the basics of cooking, followed by sewing for eighth graders. Interpersonal Relations and Consumer Buying are available for fresh- man. Home Management, Beginning Foods, and Clothing are choices for sophomores. juniors can have Child De- velopment and Advanced Clothing. The final choices for the seniors are Family Living and Advanced Foods. Each year the students in Advanced Foods prepare a Christmas dinner and an Easter dinner and serve it with the proper etiquette. Usually the principal and assistant principal are the honored guests. These classes help the students see that there is much to learn about adult life and everyday occurrences and then help them learn these things. Caylyn Hodge and Kim lackson lick out the bowl after making a cake, while Dawn Adams cleans off the counter. Brenda Barnes, Edie Fisher, Carol King, and Lisa Asbury find it hard to study and talk at the same time. lwaal 50 Home Economics

'i.,,.-ff Read For The 9 To Life V 'N ,J ..... 11 Q x I ,gif N. as Here at Lapel we are fortunate to have not one but two business teachers. Mrs. Sigler teaches consumer economics, business law, and general business. Mrs. Howenstine teaches Typing I and II, shorthand, and bookkeeping. These courses prepare students for a wide range of opportunities in the business field. ln the secretarial field, typing, dic- tation, and shorthand combine to be a major asset, and with the help of the school offices the girls have a great chance to work with and to improve their skills in these areas. In the offices they also learn how to file, run errands, and answer the six multi-line phones. The bookkeepers are preparing for ca- reers in the accounting field while the 52 Business economics and business classes help the students understand the financial work- ings both in companies and in homes. In starting this year off, the shorthand, Typ- ing Il, and accounting classes enjoyed a field trip to Ball State University in Mun- cie. They took a tour of the campus and the new business college which was just built last year. They also looked through some of the available classes being taught. Representatives from different business colleges came to talk to the stu- dents about what each of their colleges offer and what the students can expect after they are out of high school. Through all this they become well pre- pared for a very profitable future. Mrs. Howenstine helps Tammy Drews solve her accounting problems, while Dottie Tackett and Tammy Coffee work on their projects. l Iii.-0. I 4 . W nil' 1 . 7' TFNKN - v r 1 f x rl , W
