Learning To Be Economical As inflation increases, Home Economics becomes more impor- tant. This is one department where students can immediately use the things they learn. Making their own clothes, planning inex- pensive but nutritous meals, and learning how to be independant of their parents are just a few of the things taught. Home Economics even puts students in life-like situations. For instance, in the Human Growth and Development classes, stu- dents potted tiny plants in hollow egg shells. These were consid- ered their babies. Students were instructed to treat these as they would real babies. This department teaches students and lets them have some fun at the same time. ,, ,.,.

anagin I ll The Business Department involves much more than just learning how to type. And it's not just for the girl whose lifelong ambition is to be a secretary. This depart- ment prepares students for many careers, and it also helps them in high school. The classes vary from learning how to diagram sentences to bookkeeping. So next time a student is trying to take down notes as fast as his teacher talks, or typing a term paper by the hunt and peck method, he'll wish he had checked into the business department. Business courses, such as typing and accounting, would be beneficial to every- one. -- Patricia Crites is 1 2 'iv 4 l-21 Peggy Jones learns how to glue a stencil, and Karen Mur- phy and Tammy Castlebury run it off. 31 Eva Forbes, Dee Pruitt, Robin Denncy, Cheryl Hardin, and Kim Martin practice typing dictation. 41 Debbie Murdock gets a little extra height while practicing speed on the adding machine. 51 Jamie McGuire makes transparencies on a Thermo Fax copier. 61 Gordon Blackwell gives a class presentation from the Courier Democrat. 46fBusmess A .f'2t't:!1v1-. ff' ,- ,, 'gr 5 L I'-U 7' ' I I 'Z . vp . .. , 7 D.: .

tudents Prepare For utside World The workstudy groups at Russellville High School offered job opportunities for students who wanted more out of their day than just going to school. Distributive Education Careers of America CDECA1, Co- ordinated Career Education CCCE1, and the Work-Study pro- gram helped students prepare for the outside world of work. Students who participated in these programs not only had the benefit of receiving an education, but also had the opportunity to earn a salary. Participants attended classes three or four periods a day and then went to their occupations. The work we do in CCE is fun, and I also like my job at Wal1a-Burger. - Cindy Laymon My job helps to prepare me for future jobs. - Gene Jamison KDECAI l1 Teresa Freeman reassembles a dummy at Bealls. 21 CCE kitchen worker Kenneth Wooten maintained several jobs, including serving student lunches. 31 Officer Ron Mainhart from the Russellville Police Department explains job safety to DECA students. 41 Many students studied job opportunities during Career-Awareness Lab. 51 Serving customers is Tammy Trumpp's main pur- pose working at West-Gibson's.
