Indoor and Outdoor Fun Home economics was the in- doors art of clothing, foods, and child development, while physical education was sim- ply the outdoors art of exercise. Clothing was taken on a semes- ter basis. This course taught sew- ing techniques and how to work with different fabrics. Foods, also, was taken by semesters and ex- plored learning how to prepare, cook, and bake foods. The third home economics course, child devlopment, examined children and how to deal with them. This course enabled a person to under- stand himself better, and students discussed positive reinforcement and human relationships. Child development, helps to prepare for leaving home, going to school, and to survive! said Mrs. S. Myer, clothing and child development in- structor. Physical education helped to keep the body fit for surviving, too. P.E. was a requirement of students for two years. Tennis and baseball were just a few of the many sports played. Estancia had another P.E. program called Adaptive P.E. This program was for students who had a physical condition that prevent- ed them from participating in regu- lar P.E. Adaptive P.E. has very good facilities and trained instuc- tors, said Ms. L. Brabander. Home economics and P.E. were simply two subject courses but were filled with much to offer. 1.

Industrial Arts teachers Mr. Waters, Mr. Conway, Mr. Cutforth, Mr. Matthews, and Mr. Hobbs. The Making Of A Career The sanding of wood, the grinding of metal, and the gentle stroke of a brush: these were actions made by stu- dents who were lucky enough to enroll in an art or an industrial art class. Woodshop, photography, art, electronics, and power me- chanics were just a few of the classes in these two departments. When asked, what he liked about teaching art, Mr. Smith, an art teacher, said, It ' s hard to put a name on the reason why I like teaching. For some students these classes did not stop after a semester. Some found out that they liked it anr iHPt it might mean a career jomeday. Mow would one use in- dustrial art skills in a career? Mark Kirsch said, If I wanted to be a carpenter, I already have the be- ginning skills pertaining to carpen- try. Would he consider a career in industrial arts? would serious be interested in a job in carpentry. I learned how to create objects like furniture and other useful items. To some people ' s surprise, not only jobs such as doctors, lawyers, or executives help our economy, but also jobs like steelworkers, electricians, painters, artists, and designers.
