Home Economics Teaches Students Nutrition Mrs. Moe a former teacher at Palmer High School, came to Coronado this year to teach students the importance of Home Economics, having to do with the foods department. The purpose for home economics is to teach boys and girls the principles of food management, to emphasis on nutritional values, and to teach students how to care for their clothing and how to select the right type of clothes that fit the students best. Groups of students, not more than five, are given packets which tell them what to cook. The purpose of the packets are to teach students how to read instructions.

Art Department Begins Exciting New Program A revised Art program provided many different classes for students to choose from. Classes were set up in pairs, with a different type of class each semester. Photography, offered for the first time at Coronado, was very popular. Freehand drawing, jewelry, ceramics, ap- plied crafts, Commercial Art and Special Studies in Art were also offered. Students showed enthusiasm for the new program by a significant increase in enrollment. Classes were more in depth and specialized than in pre- vious years. The program stressed art as related to other school subjects and personal satisfaction in one's work. Mr. Robert Shernick and Mr. Skip Mundy worked as a team, pooling their skills and knowledge to teach the various courses. Dave Gillion developes skill at the potters wheel. Art students discuss the fine points of photography. Chris Smith concentrates on knots in macrame. Mr. Mundy assists Steph Luehring in freehand drawing
