HOME ECONOMICS When the scent of hot bread or pizza fills the halls, every- one knows what room it’s coming from and the crowds begin to form around the Home Economics and Family Living room doors. But, contrary to popular belief, cooking is not all you do in these classes. You learn to survive in a world that you might be alone in someday, and you also learn how to relate to people. Your classmates become a second family. A very close family. Family Living and Home Economics can be very useful classes. Since most students either get married or move out of the home, these classes are a big help in making a home of your own. So, if your life-long ambition has been to be a famous chef, or a world renowned dress de- signer, then maybe Family Living or Home Ec. is what you’ve been waiting for. Top: 1.

Alexander is full of polyglots. Hey, what’s a polyglot?? Have you seen any running around lately? Well, I’ll tell you one thing, if you eavesdrop on Mrs. Rauschenberg’s Spanish and French classes or maybe Mrs. Kaldis’ Latin class or even an English class or two, you will find out what a polyglot is. Actually we only have a few polyglots here at school. Two of these are Mrs. Rauschenberg and Mrs. Kaldis. This gives you a hint of what a polyglot is. For those of you who still don’t know what a polyglot is, I will now solve the mystery. A polyglot is, one who is versed in many languages. Parlez-vous Francais? Whether you do or don’t doesn’t really matter, in the lan- guage room at Alexander High. You can learn everything from regular verbs to sentence structure. Top: 1. Cynthia Kaldis, Latin. 2.

VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRIAL ARTS It seems that our goodwill ambassadors of Alex are the members of Vo. Ag. and Ind. Arts classes. This year the Industrial Arts class made special equipment for handicapped students at Shade along with providing the seniors with steps at their gradu- ation. Not to be outdone by this generosity, the Vocational Agriculture class made a bus shelter for Spreading Oaks Trailer Court and a teetertotter and sandbox for the Albany Junior High. Top: 1.
