Elective Classes for Tomorrow Home Economics and Agriculture Stress Ingenuity Whether it was the stench of an unwashed animal or the aroma of a fresh baked cake, the home eco- nomics and agriculture departments were always working to better their future. As Lara Ferry explained, Im going to be a child psychologist, and the child development class was a great experience for me because we were able to work with chidren and not just sit and listen to some- one else talk about them. Plus we learned a bt about the actual raising of a child through the ctass. Along with Lara Ferry, Mrs. Chader commented on her creative foods class by saying, Since I had tons of males in my three classes, there was never a dull moment, especially in the kitchen. Along with home economics, agriculture was also used as a tool for the future. Shelley Kenyon, an agriculture student, took the first step in preparing for her future by taking an agriculture class. When asked why she chose an agriculture ctass, Shelley respond- ed by saying, I chose agriculture because I thought it would be fun to leam how to raise and show ani- mals. Plus through the class we were able to get involved in things related to agriculture such as Future Farmers of America. Kara Lancaster also commented on her agricul- ture class by saying, I realy enjoyed the class be- cause we were able to plant a garden and raise an animal of our choice. Design by Kirsten Bednorz.
