Home Economics Amigo Foods Featured The home economics department worked with a goal of preparing students for independence after high school. Department chair person Jeanne Lough was helped by Pauline Madden, and Miss. Kendrick in instructing classes ranging from basic foods through clothing, child rearing, and other future planning classes. These classes helped those who participated with the practical knowledge and skills that they can use in their adult lives. Special activities included a full course meal prepared by the advanced foods classes and served to faculty members and parents of those taking the class. The meal consisted of snack foods, a variety of green salads, homemade chips and dips and a fruit punch. A pinata, which was broken by Mr. Jim Walker, added to the Spanish flavor of the affair. Enrollment was up in home economics, due, in part to the increased number of freshman taking basic foods. 1. Cheryl Trube works on her dishes in foods. 2.

Physical Education Fobert’s Skills Add Depth The students who enrolled in the various P.E. courses got a variety of subjects ranging from gymnastics to weightlifting skills. Serving as instructors of these programs were: Kathy Voves, Jim Chaney, Sherry Fobert and Ron August. The four year high school brought an eight period day, shorter classes, less shower time and a lot of freshman to the 1 school. Still they added youth, excitement and strength to the athletic program; and caused greater emphasis on safety and a clear knowledge of the sport. 2 5 1.

Industrial Arts Donated Equipment, A Plus Again the industrial arts department continued successful in several ways. The transition to a four-year high school increased students enrolled in these classes which were offered to both boys and girls. The classes were expanded in content to encourage the girls to sign up. New classes added during the year were: Woods IV-(a fourth year class in woodworking for advanced students), and in Drafting there were: Restructured Blueprint Reading and Technical Illustration (both specialty classes for people with drawing experience). The closure of Academy Junior High enabled the department to gain some equipment. They were given a drill press, a table saw, a tractor, drafting machines, templates and drawing sets. The students who enrolled in these classes were able to -j learn a number of vocational skills, which had practical application. 1 William Cunningham puts some last minute touches on his furniture project. 2.
