-l ooks CJZQHM-Bl ow ou're cookin' hen I think of Home Ec, cooking and girls pop into my head, said Lisa Baldridge, junior. Stereotyped was one way to describe vocational classes, since in most students' minds they were designed for either males or females, not both. 1980, however, brought boys into Home Ec and girls into drafting. lt is really a shame that Home Ec is so stereotyped, said Mrs. Virginia Neill, Home Ec teacher. ' 'Home Ec is not just cooking and sewing. Iwould really love to see more boys take it. I took Adult Living because when you become an adult it helps you understand what is going to happen to you, said Chuck Allen, senior. lt helps you know what to do when it does happen. Drafting was another of the stereotyped classes. Traditionally engineers and architects had been men, but that was no longer the case in 1980. I took Drafting because I want to become an engineer, said Kyla Holder, junior. lt's a refreshing change from the every day classes. With ERA and Women's Lib changing the way people thought, traditionally male or female classes were becoming coed. Although working a jigsaw and slaving over a hot stove didn't sound appealing to most students, some thought these classes were worthwhile. Perfection counts. Paying attention to details is important to Ken Thomas, who works on an exploded pictorial in Engineering Drafting. A 'W Br ig. ., A I . One of the few. Getting to eat all the good food at helping to prepare it is one of the advantages of being one of the few boys in Home Ec, says Greg Neal. 182 Academics!0rganizations

Each student spent a week making pottery, and most found that the clay reminded them of mud. Pottery is more fun than a lot of the things we do in art, said David Andrews, junior. It feels like making cold, clammy mudpiesf' While pottery was an individual effort art students worked together on several projects. They painted a Patriot and lettered Home of the Patriots on the gym wall and painted a Patriot on the circle in the center of the teachers' parking lot. At Halloween, the Pen and Brush Club helped with the KAAY Haunted House by designing and furnishing one of the rooms. I took art because I like to draw, said sophomore Brenda Tyra. I can express myself better on paper in a class, than I can on my own. Others took art because it was a nice break from themes and equations. Art was fun! S-T-E-A-D-Y.
