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

36 Students Learn To Drive With New Ford Maverick; New Melodies Harmonize In Music Appreciation Although the price of gas has gone up and the speed limit down, Drivers’ Ed. is still a popular course. A new Ford Maverick came completely equipped with anti-airpollution devices and asix-cylinder engine which used as much space and gas as their old eight-cylinder car. International directional signs proved easier to follow while the drivers cut down on trying to read the signs and kept their eyes on the road. Music Appreciation had a successful second year with a class of twenty-one students. Along with repeats of last year Mr. Dante Pilegi tried some newapproaches, among them the teaching of music theory and four part harmony. Chords and chord structure also played a part in the curriculum. Some of the musically talented students, as well as Mr. Pilegi, brightened up the class by performing on occasion. 1 Student driver Diane Farwell painstakingly begins her first drive. 2 With utmost concen- tration, Paula Hodecker expands her design. 3 New Intenational Signs aid in safe driving. 4 Becoming aware of the parts of the engine aids new drivers. 5 Accuracy is important in Michael Pantuosco’s work. 6 Checking the basic design, Jeff Angers verifies his draw- ing. 7 ‘‘This is what we call a triplet,’’ explains Mr. Pilegi. 8 Stereo enhances the students’ appreciation for music. 9 Senior Matt Wolff diligently prepares his drawing. 10 Mistakes are quickly taken care of by Basic Tech stu- dents.
