22 Homemaking students set goals Homemaking students acquired skills and knowledge necessary for feeding a family and managing a home wisely. Emphasis was also placed on child care and development and becoming a wise consumer. Home and Family Living classes included per- sonality and character development, clarification of students' values, male and female roles in society, dating and mate selection, and problems in parenting and family life. One activity enjoyed by students in Home and Family Living classes was a mock semi-formal wedding including a reception. I enjoyed Home and Family class, it was one of the best classes l've taken, commented Jim- my Elston, senior. Each student was also required to set a per- sonal goal and make plans to reach that goal. Students evaluated these results. This process helped students to gain self-confidence and undertake challenges in the future, stated Mrs. Betty Brawley, homemaking teacher. Xu . AcademicsfHomecoming .

E271 Bi-lingual imagination, stresses communication Imagination! That's what foreign language teachers used to make their classes more interesting and alive. Sherman High offers Latin, Spanish, and French. Each language has a club to add to the learning pro- cess. l like Spanishg it's more interesting than I thought it would be, said Karen Fogle, sophomore. Regardless of what language an SHS student par- ticipated in, it.increased his or her knowledge of com- munication. l've enjoyed Latin because it has helped me to enlarge my vocabulary and l've learned where all of our words came from, commented Kim Buck- ingham, senior. Because SHS is affluent in all aspects of academics, it has developed bi-lingual endeavors. The Foreign Language department cared for the needs of college bound students and students who were tired of plain English. ln addition to the study of grammar, the students were encouraged to study the lifestyles of these respective languages. Language not only reflects com- munication, but a viable, real way of life. AcademicsfForeign Language 21

Industrial arts strengthens imagination The Sherman High School industrial Arts department has the reputation for turning out ex- cellent students who enjoy drawing intricate blue prints for houses, cabinets, or just about anything. Industrial Arts students rely on imagination for their drawings. HI enjoy drafting, it is helping me pursue my career as an architect, stated John Pritchett, junior. Woodworking students learn basic furniture construction, and General Metals introduces students to making sketches, learning proper use of hand tools, and reading drawings. Drafting has been thoroughly enjoyable. I have pro- gressively acquired drafting skills, commented Ricky Dunn, senior. Mechanical Drafting gives students an understanding of the basics of drafting. Students learn to visualize in three dimensions, to develop and strengthen their technical imagination, to think precisely, and to read and write the language of industry. They also gain experience in making working drawings. ii is hiss, Academicsflndustrial Arts 3
