Home Economics learn about careers In the Home-Ec department, the Bachelor Living class looked at careers for men in the home economics fields. They had four guest speakers. Gary Simmons, owner of Great Bend Floral; Ralph Cotton, owner of Alpine Ovens; Leon Cox, former Daylight Doughnut man; and Rick Cummings, director of food service at CKMC, all spoke to the class about their careers and how they got started. The family living class also had a guest speaker. A florist from Larry’s Garden Center in Great Bend gave a talk and demonstration on ways to use flowers and plants in wed- dings. The class also visited Gunn's Bridal Shop where they looked at and tried on wedding dresses. On April 8, all the home-ec students attended the Barton County Home Economics Day held at the Barton County Community College. Home Economics Day consisted of several different kinds of workshops with contests and judging following the workshops. Four students brought back medals. Theresa Peintner won third in macrame and third in tatting. Fiancee Dannebohm received first in Flan- ellgraph story telling, Patty Peintner got second in model- ing and third in clothing construction, and Cathy Petz won third in modeling.

Driver’s Ed. “A thrill “We Driver’s Ed teachers don't have to go to Worlds of Fun to get a thrill ride. We get our thrill ride every day riding with the students. These were the comments of Mr. George Whitmer, Driver's Ed instructor, who teaches this class along with Mr. Lyle Sanborn. This year Mr. Sanborn is teaching Driver's Ed for the first time in several years. Driver's Ed is set up as a semester course where on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays 5 or 6 students drive while the rest of the group attends Mr. Wilbur Hogg's freshman speech class. On Tuesdays and Thursdays the class meets for lectures and films on driving. Field trips also were an important part of the class, according to Mr. Whitmer. He said that his students took the highways, blacktops, and sand and dirt roads to such exotic places as Chase, Raymond, Sylvia, Great Bend, Chaflin, and downtown Ellinwood. He said these field trips were made in two automobiles equipped with dual brakes, dual mirrors, and Driver Education signs on top. The signs served as a warning to other drivers. Mr. George Whitmer looks tense as he prepares himself for another day on the road. The Driver's Ed. class relaxes while Mr. Whitmer prepares a film promoting good driving habits. Driver's Ed. Students practice backing up in an alley before trying it on the streets. Mr. Lyle Sanborn and Brian Nordstedt inspect the exterior of the car before taking another trip.
