Interest remained high in the Bachelor Foods course as it became a semester course this year. Males as well as females learned to prepare a variety of foods ranging from hors d'oeuvres to dessert, including some “‘snack ’ foods. In these days of high food prices, meal planning became an important asset to a cook’s talents. Emphasis was placed on low cost — high nutrition foods. Consumer Economecs, a newly instituted semester course, taught the importance of comparison shopping. Quality was emphasized in the search for lower food prices. A major project this year was the preparation of a well-balanced spaghetti dinner for people involved in Model Senate. High clothing prices forced people to take up home sewing to enlarge their wardrobes. In an effort to equip themselves with necessary skills, students turned to Sr. Barbara Gumpright’s sewing classes. Any student who demonstrated the basic skills normally taught in Clothing | was able to begin with Clothing Il in an experimental program this year. Advanced clothing students worked on the techniques involved in tailoring coats. All seven classes worked on a project for Springfield’s Bi-centennial celebration. 34
