' 95fIndustr1al Arts Co-Ed Industrial Arts Classes Enhanced By Two-Hour Block Whether preparing for a job in an industry or factory, improving already acquired skills for use at work, or just learning the A to Z of home-centered mechanics, industrial arts students had their choice of areas to work in. Both male and female students were enrolled in courses from auto mechanics, metals, woodworking and welding, to the more sedentary studies of drafting and graph- ics. The two-hour block classes during fi if I the third nine-weeks were a help in the various lab courses as they provided more work time and eliminated the problem of minutes occupied by the getting out and putting away of sup- plies. We try to make this as real an in- dustrial experience as possible and also to help students in the pursuit of hob- bies by putting them in exploratory sit- uationsf' said Mr. Birckhead, Industri- al Arts Coordinator.

97 f Home Economics Home Ec. Curriculum Expanded A Chicken Cook-Off? What's That? . . . Oh no, you mean someone's going to eat this? . . . Half a cup? I thought it called for twice that much . . . The culinary skills of Foods 3 classes were put to the test as a panel of teach- ers was called upon to taste and judge student-prepared chicken recipes. The winner received a five-dollar gift certi- licate from Wendy's. Two new courses, which had not been offered for several years, expanded the Home Ec. curriculum. Housing and Home Furnishings, taught by Mrs. Ka- ren Bullard, instructed students in the art of interior design, while Miss Kris- tin Eveland's Foods 4 class studied more advanced cooking techniques. Besides learning about clothing con- struction, Clothing Management classes undertook a bit of decorating work as Clothing I classes designed bul- letin boards, and Clothing 2 and 3 were responsible for the display case outside the sewing room. Guest speakers on such subjects as cake decorating and hair-styling high- lighted the year for members of HERO QHome Economics Related Occupa- tionsj Club. Other activities included a luncheon at Applegate's for the instal- lation ognew club officers, an Employ- er-Employee Banquet for all Cooperat- ive Ed. classes in Wichita, and making Halloween party favors for a day care center.
