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.

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.
