HOME EC NEW AND IMPROVED This year, Home Economics is a department unto itself. Mrs. Tomita defined the purpose of Home Economics to prepare the students for decision making roles in the areas of family and child de- velopment. Classes in housing and interiors, foods and nutrition, clothing and textiles, and family finance and management are among those offered . A new teacher joined the department this year. Mrs. Hajewski, an art major from Cal. State JMorthridge, taught a class in creative stitchery. The Home Economics department played an im- ' portant role in preparation for the future by teach- ( ing the metric system and all its ramifications as an intregral part of its programs. Books have been written about it, movies drama- tize it and pre-sixteen year-olds place it on a pedestal and worship it... What is it? None other than that peculiar American yearn for driving. Helping us to obtain that precious piece of paper called a California Driver License, is Mr. Al- Kuraishi. i 1. Mr. J. Al-Kuraishi 2. Mrs. C. Tucker 3. Mrs. K. Hajewski 4. Mrs. C. Tomita Jtt

Language skills are imparative in any job that entails public relations. Improvements in the language department keep teaching methods up to date from year to year. Such an improvement is Honors French II taught by Mrs. Pearlman.
