Cooking, Sewing Offer Fun and Experience Making a new dress or learning to prepare a turkey with all the trimmings in the Home Economics classes helped students to become independent and self-reliant. Students learned to be economical and at the same time to sew in a style that suited their personal tastes. The sewing classes taught the pupils how to choose, fit, cut and sew everything from aprons to dresses. The sweet flavorful aroma of baking pics and a cooking pot roast appealed to many students. Instructions in seasoning of meats and different types of potatoes were taught in the cooking classes. academics 29

Student Teachers Benefit by Doing Cadet teaching was a valuable experience for those students who taught this year whether their tasks were as simple as taking children to recess or as hard as working with handicapped children. Seniors who were interested in becoming teachers, assisted teachers in elementary and junior high schools. Students taught everything from second grade read- ing to junior high gym classes. The future teachers worked four days a week. Friday was their planning day when they shared their ex- periences and new techniques in teaching. Above: One of the many jobs senior Jim Lucas has as a cadet teacher at Longfellow School is helping second graders in their reading. Below: Helping this handi- capped boy to paint is a delightful task for senior Nancy Rubenstein, a cadet teacher at Durant-Turri Mott. 28 academics
