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.
