xpand tudent Interest and Knowledge This year the English Depart- ment familiarized students with literature, writing, and speaking. In sophomore classes, students studied English literature for a se- mester and spent the second se- mester mastering the lively art of speaking. Juniors, on general and aca- demic curriculums, explored the evolvement of American litera- ture through the decades. Making movies, performing plays, and writing research papers helped seniors to expand their knowledge of English. A one-semester composition class was offered for those who wished to improve their writing skills. Upper right-English assignments sometimes got a little com- plicated, as sophomore Greg Jones discovered. Here, he lis- tens attentively as Mrs. Howlett explains the exercise just one more time. Mrs. McCoy, during her three year stay at CHS, taught both general and academic English classes and instituted a one- semester composition course. Unfortunately, at the com- pletion of this year's first six weeks grading period, Mrs. Mc- Coy retired due to poor health.

Home Economics Emphasize Clreativit . reg? s Ei Above-One of the consequences of Boys' Home Ec. is eating your own cooking. Allen Plunkett, Roger Booher, and Tim Ramie don't seem to object, though, as they devour Dennis Robertson's food along with their own. Below-The girls spend their time learning to prepare more elegant foods. Paula Johnson and Bev Conway fix a fondue, very popular among students. Home economics is not only cooking and sewing-at CHS it is more. The main emphasis is on creativity and teaching students to be better buyers and managers. Marital problems, home nursing, and nutrition are covered in the home economics curriculum. Girls sewed and knitted clothing articles of their choice and tested new recipes throughout the year. The CHS Home Ec. Department did not ignore the boys. The one semester class for boys covered ironing, mending, and the selec- tion of proper clothing, as well as the preparation of well-balanced meals. Just what Bob Peterman always wanted to do-fix shrimp for a grade.
