So. to help students become familiar with these areas. the school offers home economics courses for students to sign up and take as semester classes. Boys as well as girls seem to enjoy' tak- ing these courses. Mrs. Delores Watkins. a teacher in the department said. The first semester that the course housing and homecrafts was offered. my' class was all boys except for five girls. The old wives' tale that cooking and sewing and other home talents are just for the women is nothing but an old tale. The department received four new Viking sewing machines to start the year off. Joining the new machines came a new instructor to the department. Mrs. Grace Cowell. She's a former student of Apache Juction herself. Now she teaches in the foods and clothing department. I really' enjoy' teaching. the students here seem so eager to learn. said Mrs. Cowell. They' would like to expand in courses being offered. but that's something that will come in the future. The picture that the future holds for the home economics department looks very' bright and promis- ing. ll PREP.-XRING BlSCL'lTS in Home Economics. Debbie Fitch.
