INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION Technical training ranges from architecture to electronics ln my experience with it, I would say that we have one of the finest auto departments in the city. The teachers are among the best, commented Sophomore Woody Eggeling. The in- dustrial education department offered a wide variety of courses designed to give students a strong background in whatever field they chose. The only complaint that I have is that, for a co-educational school, they should have a girls' locker room in the auto shop. I have to dress in a closet, said Junior Ami Ferber. The enrollment for girls in the department was up ap- proximately 7'Zi from last year. ln- IOZACURRICULUM dustrial Education Department Chair- man Lee Hubbard commented that the girls seem to do as well, if not better. attimes than the boys. Mr. Hubbard stressed that the depart- ment was more technical than most people think. He added that the courses were highly upgraded and that they attempted to give occupational di- rections to the student's life. Mr. Hub- bard stated, We have put in modern innovations and have upgraded the course contents. I think students enjoy the courses and tend to be a more in- dependent person because of it.

HOME ECONOMICS New child care course offers instruction, training Child care is really interesting be- cause it helps you formulate your ideas about how you are going to raise your own children, commented Junior Sara Levin about the new course. Child care was offered to juniors and seniors who were interested in becoming aides in kindergartens after graduation. Home living was a co-ed class that dealt with family life, child develop- ment, consumer education, housing, in- terior design, family finance, food preparation, and meal management. lt was only in its second year ot exist- ence but it grew in popularity. The class is very informative and you learn a lot about family life and how to improve your own family relations, saidaseniorgirl. Said a freshman girl about her foods class, I think it's fun-I enjoy the cooking and everything, but I didn't realize there was so much that went into planning and cooking an entire 104 ACADEMICS: CURRI CU LUM meal. Home ec. 1 involved one semes- ter each of cooking and sewing. Foods and sewing were the two classes with the heaviest enrollment in the home economics department. Sewing is really great: I've learned so much already. I don't know how I got by sewing like I did before, a sopho- more girl commented. Mrs. Nancy Lynch, home economics de- partment head, stressed her desire for the students to get a better under- standing of their responsibilities in family living so they can live most successfully today and in the future. Mrs. Lynch commented that the courses were geared to the students-what they wanted to do. She stated that at the end of the year the students were asked to evaluate the courses, and state what they wanted most from the classes. In this way, the student's goal was truly being met.
