Home Economics, Industrial Education help development of practical skills . . ome Economics and ln- H dustrial Education play , , an important role in stu- dents' lives by develop- ing skills, many of which are needed to perform everyday tasks in the working world. Home economics students de- signed many new accessories, in- cluding individually-designed pil- lows and quilts, wonderful jogging suits and summer blaz- ers. Other events included enter- ing national contests related to clothing construction. Seniors Lisa Bielick and Linda Foote qualified for the Make It With Wool contest, which was held at Macomb. Their backgrounds in sewing in home economics courses helped them to succeed in the contest. New to the department' this year is Miss Sue Schnackenberg, who is now teaching Child De- velopment and Family Life. She -wwf if Wg is .. V', , - enjoys the class and the actions of her students. The feedback from the stu- dents is exciting and fulfilling to me. Their interest and enthusi- asm in the subject is mutually challenging 'and motivating, commented Schnackenberg. Mrs. Janet Rothwell, instruc- tional supervisor, also feels the program is special. Child De- velopment classes have been do- ing especially exciting projects and activities. The nursery school sponsored twice a year is a special event, stated Roth- well. Rothwell concludes, Home Economics is becoming an even more important field as individ- uals in our society become, out of necessity, more concerned with conserving family resources and improving family and per- sonal relationships within their own livesf' Industrial Education When students take all course work within a program, they de- velop considerable knowledge as well as technical skills relative to the area. In some situations, job entry skills are developed, and in other instances the stu- dent needs advanced training. For the first time at Glen- brook South High School, a pho- tography class was added to the industrial education curriculum. The course came about when the decision was made to drop the Graphic Arts course due to the lack of student interest, along with lack of a qualified teacher. Photography, taught by Mr. Ed Baker, fIfS Driver's Educa- tionl, is planning for a full pro- gram. A photography course was recommended several years ago, but it was turned down. Mr. Barry Pearson planned to in- clude a photography unit in the Graphic Arts course for the 1979-80 school year, but his de- parture was one reason for dropping Graphic Arts. This course is offered to soph- omores, juniors and seniors. Freshmengcan take the course if they are enrolled in Industrial Arts 163. Students taking the course are required to have an MICHAEL PEDERSON STUDIES his negatives on a light table in the graphic arts shop. adjustable camera for use in the course due to the size of the darkroom there is a limit of 12 students for each class. Photography 161 was a course offered first semester and dealing with black and white photography and full lab exper- ience. Photography 262, taught during second semester, was a continuation of the black and white photography plus intro- duction to color photography. The disadvantage of the course at this time is that we do not have adequate facilities, stated Baker. ln the future we are planning to enlarge the photo darkroom. Due to the interest of the stu- dents in this class, the course shall be offered next year, ac- cording to Baker. The Audio Visual Depart- ment, a branch of the Instruc- tional Materials Center provided many conveniences for GBS teachers and students. Under the supervision of Mr. Len Sid- er, the A.V. Department offered photographic, photocopying and offset printing among its many services. Home Economics, lndustrial Education 8: Audio Visualf
