These classes teach you survival in the world outside of school. -Chantel Kovarik Add One More to the List! Enrollment grows bv C Schumaker and H Burch The explosion of student enroll- ment in Home Economics and in Industrial Technology resem- bled the population growth of an underdeveloped country. Because the number of students enrolled in these classes tripled over the past year, a new teacher, Karen Jacobson, was added to the department to work with Ellen Fleming in Home Economics. The cause of this sharp increase was attributed, in part, to the new requirement that the Class of 1988 and classes that follow must gain one and one half credits in these courses. Home Economics is a course designed to prepare both boys and girls for the future by teaching the cooking and sewing skills. Industrial technology includes such subjects as photography, graphic arts and industrial drafting. The school board believes that the students should have skills for a living. Home Economics and Industrial Technolo- gy include teaching some of these skills, explained Fleming. As part of their grade in the foods classes, students prepared and served a Thanksgiving Dinner to senior citizens. Not only are we learning how to cook but we ' re having fun and helping others at the same time, stated freshman Kristina Komives, a student of Jacobson ' s food class. Some other classes offered by Home Economics were Single Survival, Basic Interior Design, and Clothing and Fashion Design. Taking these classes are a real worthwhile experience, because once I ' m out on my own I ' ll know everything from cooking to managing my money, said senior Chantel Kovarik.

It ' s the same in high school. Every fall when students sign up for classes, the ones they must write down first are the required classes. Those classes are math, gym, social studies, science, and English. But, for the Classes of 1988 and 1989, there was another requirement tacked onto the traditional, academic requirements for graduation: one and a half credits of fine practical arts. This means the student needs V2 credit of fine arts such as ceramics, band, choir, or drama, and V2 credit of practical arts such as business, home economics, or industrial technology. For the last V2 credit, the student can choose from the fine or practical arts. With the increase in requirements, there is an expectation of positive and negative responses. On one side, sopho- more Jon Burleigh said, I feel it ' s good for some because they will take classes they wouldn ' t normally take. But, sophomore Debbie Evangelista added I don ' t agree with it. It ' s pointless because we all had to take it in junior high, so we shouldn ' t be forced to take it again. Students also worry about having the time for a new requirement. As sophomore Tom Dawson explained, It may take time away from those who want to take some non-academic classes. Drama teacher Paul Colbrooke remarked that the require- ment isn ' t so demanding. It depends on the kid. Some can absorb the weight. Students and faculty share some opinions on the requirement and they clash on others, but the one they all agree upon is that six requirements is enough for now! ACADEMICS 145
