With new ideas in mind, Mrs. Linda Bartlett, the new home economics teacher, taught more than just basic clothing and toods projects. Having the students mal e Christmas tree ornaments was one of her changes. The girls home ec class was involved in a joint project with the art students in making stained glass cookie orna- ments for CC ' s tree downtown. Mrs. Bartlett arranged for a guest speaker from the Indiana Gas Company to come in and talk to the boys as well as the girls. They learned all the advantages of gas appliances. After her talk, the classes spent time cleaning the ranges. The boys home economics classes used the first half of the year to learn the basics of sewing. They then put their talents to work by making their own shirts. Basic foods were on the menu for the second semester as they learned nutrition and how to prepare easy meals. The girls home ec classes learned cooking the first semester and sewing the latter part of the year. The girls got to pick out their own patterns and material. And for the second year in a row, Kathy Campbell took on the job of making her own prom dress. Other popular items were shirts and skirts made in popular materials. Even with a low food budget, the students weren ' t too limited in their choice of foods. The third year girls home ec class cooked their own lunch on one occasion. For the home ec department, the year was a success- ful one, complete with changes. Tony Reuzenaar admires the finished product of his first sewing efforts.
