Home Economics Speakers, The Highlight Of The Year Approximately one-eighth of the students en- rolled in home economics courses were male. This change came about slowly in the past few years. Students realized that home ec. was not just for females anymore. The sewing and child development classes enjoyed a variety of speakers. Amber Fronk and Wilma Markee spoke on skin care, Joe Mazza and Mark Stern from Children’s Services spoke on child abuse, and Barbara Tenneson came from UCC to tell students about the pro- grams in home economics offred there. Sanitation and safety were topics of study and discussion in Foods I and Foods 11. Foods I students discovered the joys of microwave cooking. Second year students completed a unit on preservation of foods which involved canning, jams, drying fruit, and freezing tech- niques. A unique and popular class. International Foods was involved with two dissimilar cultures in the first quarter, Italy and China. In this unit they prepared pasta and wontons! ▼ A representative of the one-eighth of the male stu- dents in home ec. classes.

Rules Improve Attendance ▼ “Only fifty more repetitions, and I’ll be finished” groans an exhausted Sheri Fraelich, during a severe workout in her sixth period conditioning class. a The mastery of a soccer ball is demonstrated by Bart Wilson as he baffles his opponent by skillfully maneuvering the ball from beneath his feet. In keeping with academic classes in which students earn points for grades, the physical education department implemented a new sys- tem. Students had the opportunity to earn ten points a day — one for being present, three for being prompt, and six for participation. At the end of the semester, points were totaled and grades were based on a strict ten per cent scale. This new system allowed for an afternoon make-up session on Tuesdays after school. Many activities were offered for this time (ten- nis and frisbee football, for example.) One new teacher, Mr. Garry Swanson, for- merly a biology teacher, replaced Mr. Don Se- verson, who retired in 1983. Mr. Swanson was also appointed head of the P.E. department.
