Popular All-Male Class Offered HOME ECONOMICS For the first time in this school's history a B°ys Food I class was offered second semester to 11 would-be chefs, and taught by Mrs. Jackie Gwinn. Preserving, canning, yeast breads and regional foods were featured in Foods 11, while cake decorating, barbecuing and foreign foods occupied advanced Foods III classes. Home economics classes, tauqht by Mrs. Mary Ann Johnson (clothing) and Mrs. Gwinn (foods), moved into three new rooms (during the year), and both were extremely pleased. Child care, home furnishings, family living and clothing (four levels of achievement) classes were taught by Mrs. Johnson with the help of student teachers Natalie Luna and Debbie Shackleford. The homemaking area was divided into three basic institutional modules, with a storage room and restroom, provided as well. Ceiling-to-floor cabinets and cupboards as well as a washer, dryer and refrigerator were provided.

Cliff Berger demonstrates the way o drawing can torn out when a drafting machine is used in Technical Drawing class. Understanding Basic Design TECHNICAL DRAWING To set up an atmosphere in class that would allow students to improve their skills and to become aware of their potential in the field of drafting was the main goal of technical drawing instructor Mr. David Breeden. Mr. Breeden, an eight year veteran at DHS, offered six levels of drawing ranging from Basic Drawing I to Technical Drawing IV. As usual, emphasis was placed on one-to-one instruction with an abundance of open-ended assignments allowing students (depending on their abilities) to complete a varied work load. Unlike previous years, his current subject matter leaned more toward an understanding of basic design. Approximately 10 per cent of the Dallas High student body took some class in technical drawing. These courses were designed to help students learn to work independently on projects, follow instruction carefully and think on their own. Taking o coraful compass reading fully occupies tech drawing student Bruce Marshall. Jim Brown shows his proficiency in using the air brush on a drawing of a sphere in Tech Drawing III.

Office Type Atmosphere Created CAREER EDUCATION The career education department moved to a new location during the year. The new classrooms provided an office-like atmosphere which was of great benefit to the students enrolled in this department's classes. These classes included Office Practice, Stenography, Accounting, Business Law, Diversified Occupations, Typing and Marketing. The classes were taught by Mrs. Nancy Warner, Mrs. Sally Stouder, Mr. Shawn Mosley and Mr. Ed Caillier. Students also benefited from the addition of new equipment to the department, including new calculators, typewriters and adding machines. In secretarial-oriented classes, the students worked with simulations (actual business functions including such tasks as checkwriting) in the classroom. They provided different tasks for the practicing secretaries every day, just like being on the job. Individuals all worked on the same activity at the same time. Units on supply and demand, balancing budgets and the effects of the open market on business were presented in accounting classes to help enrollees better understand the business world.
