While teachers drudged through the complications of House Bill 72, students continued to broaden their learning. unssuMnssA The oronriQ of fresh baked cokes, pies or biscuits permeores the room Everyone is onxious to tosfe their finished product. Other than the bokings and sewing known os the basics in home economics there ore many other sides to it. Interior design, home and family living, and bochelor core courses ore some of those available The only problem sometimes is that the enrollment is low in some coses so they ore dropped, home ec teacher Priscillo Moy said. Once the bosics ore learned then more difficult projects are attempted, like pastries or breads We got to leorn how to decorate cokes. It was great fun! Iris Umonzor said. Usuolly we srort out with something easy that they hove prepored before. Something real basic. Cookies ore the best basics, Susan Doepner said. Students had many reasons for signing up for ony one of the home ec classes. I thought if was going to be really in- teresting, and it was except for all the book work the first semester, Iris Umonzor said. On the other hand, More guys ought to take it because of the amount of girls in each doss. Doepner sold However a few minor pro- blems did flourish throughout the year.

i iO With a new advisor and a fairly inexperienced staff, tlie publications ran smoother than expected. In rhe amber haze of rhe dorkroom, o photographer pulled on 8 x10 sheet of prin- ting paper out of the drawer, while o reporter pounded endlessly on the dorkroom door shouting, Aren ' t my pic- tures ready yet? Through all of the choos in- volved in publications, the staffs spent many hours setting up in- terviews, writing stories end laying out spreads. The com- bination of having o new teacher ond o fairly inex- perienced staff posed o few problems as deadlines arrived. The Safari deadlines come so fast we could barely keep up, Karen Hurt said. Confronting the seemingly in- surmountable tasks set before them, the Regit staff faced the challenge. In February at Son Jacinto Junior College, new photographers Ken Dyrn and John Putz received 1st ond 2nd respectively for feature photos, while Audrey King ploced 1st in the general column division for her controversial editorial on the stereotypical football player. In March, their hard work was reworded when the Regit received the award of Distinguished Merit from the IL- PC at Austin. With pressure for the comple- tion of the yeorbook mounting near the end of the year, the Safari staff felt the tension rise. They were relieved however when the first proofs come back from the publisher, confi- dent that the results of their hord work would be good. It looked Q lot better than pected. I was reolly pleased, co-editor Gino Kinslow said about the first proofs Time to Relax. After the Safaris first Ttial One?
