Mrs. Nancy Rosenhalm provided direction for the cadets, while they exemplified leadership to their students. I he cadet program included research and notebook work along with practical classroom application. The various classroom situations ranged from reading stories and demonstrating soccer and wrestling to giving spelling tests and preparing bulletin hoards. The youngsters developed relationships with the cadets in the form of friendships as well as mutual admiration.

Absorbed in her task, Marci Friesen, awaits tbc needed ingredient from Lucy Peters. Searching for the needed recipe is Lynn Lacey in Mrs. Gwinn’s co-ed home-ec class. HOME ECONOMICS Foreign Cookery Home Economics, taught by Mrs. Jacquelyn Gwinn and Mrs. Shirley Hardy, moved towards an elective program by changing its class structure. The family life class was divided into two semesters, a change over previous years, and one alteration in the foods classes was the removal of the prerequisite for F oods II. Some of the many dishes prepared in the class included: salads, fondant, doughnuts and foreign cookery. F'ormals, coats and challenging dresses were typical of the one semester special projects required of the girls in sewing. The class members kept up with the latest fashions with their hot-pants designs. Dating, child care and marriage were among the units taught in the Family Life class. In many cases the home-ec classes proved to be a valuable asset for students, as they could apply course work to their home, family and environment.
