TIUVINI' W ITII TIIII TIIIIIS Bachelor living is designed to enable a man to survive in a woman's world. The course is open to both male and female students, however, Mrs, Lewis pref- ers all-male classes, since it is sometimes a repetition of what the girls have already learned. Bachelor living teaches the individual skills which help a person to become inde- pendent. Food and nutrition are taught, and basic sewing. Students also learn about grooming, consumer skills, apart- ment living and finances. The course has been offered in the school system for several years but men have only recently begun to accept it, since now more and more women have their own careers, and the duties that have traditionally fallen to women are now being shared. The class is open, loose, and very infor- mal. Comments of students are enthusias- tic - they feel it serves a real purpose in their lives. lt runs for one semester. ADVANCED COMP. Composition has taken on a new look at Friendly. Exceptional student interest and ability necessitated extremely large advanced composition classes. To accom- moderate the group, Miss Beaver and Mrs. White have ioined forces to teach inter- ested iuniors and seniors. Sizes rangeo from twenty-six students in class to sixty six. The program progressed well, an according to the teachers demonstrate that students at Friendly are able to accep new methods and adiust well and that they are willing to cooperate. 5 Team teaching and double classes make use of the sliding classroom doors.
