Home Economic To create a blouse, a pair of slacks, or even a semi-formal dress from a straight piece of cloth is the fun and function of a homemaking course. The fact that the leg of at slack and a sleeve of a blouse don't get stitched in a switch can be attributed to Mrs. Smiths mstructlons. ln the homemaking department the primary goal is to build an enduring, intelligent, satisfying family life, now as well as in the future. The blueprint for such living is drawn by helping the student acquire knowledge and develop skills and problem solving ability in the areas of family, foods, clothing, health, and safety. Selection, use, and care of household equipmentg housing and home decora- tion, child care and development, family relationships, wise management of time and energy are also discussed during the year. sy: K b s K 5' '1 - g g w t y i'lt i Pri- to e s stis me r 1 4'i3zF37aa5i' fc t s Billye Glover Barbara Maddox Beryl Parker Frances Smith Katherine Whitaker
