 JJome Economics Home Economics at Benton is classified as vocational. This means that the school must meet vocational requirements for classes since we receive funding for the program. This money must be spent according to the requirements. The teachers, Miss Vicki Rains, department chairperson, and Mrs. Cathie King have certification beyond a regular teaching degree. Every five years a term of evaluators inspect the program. This was done this March. Above: Jennifer Gould takes part in wardrobe planning. Below: Lisa Newberry and Kim Winborn show a display in housing and design. Classes other than those pictured include: World Foods which deals with foreign foods and culture. Con- sumer Education and Management teaches buying skills. Since almost everyone buys, it benefits all. Home Nursing and Health teaches how the human body works, the care and treatment during illness and first aid. Students taking Advanced Clothing learn the principles of design, tex- tiles, and construction techniques. Personal Culture teaches grooming, selecting clothes and an orientation to the world of work. Contemporary Living deals with menu planning and simple sewing repair. All areas of home economics are covered in mini units. These are two rooms, one with six kitchen units and one with 14 sewing units. 16 Home Economics
