Home Ec students learn basic skills; Spanish students enjoy the language Raising a family involves more than just knowing how to diaper a baby or how to manage a checkbook. Teacher Linda Sobba makes that apparent to her students when they enroll in Family Living. Sobba said, “Most kids are going to leave school and at some time, even- tually, they will begin to form a family. 1 encourage students to take it as seniors because when they graduate everything they learned seems more realistic to them.” Besides Family Living, Sobba also teaches Home Ec I, Advanced Home Ec, and Skills for Single Living. These classes basically teach the same tilings, yet, each is geared toward a different group of individuals. Home Ec I teaches the basics of sewing, cooking, and child care while Adv. Home Ec teaches more of the specifics. Skills for Single Living is designed to help those who will be living on their own, either at college or elsewhere, to develop some skills needed to survive. Family Living is based more on getting married and raising a family. Spanish Class Students in Spanish learn vocabu- lary, grammar, and plain conversation by using text books, work books, and songs. Reasons for taking the class varied from the desire to learn or at least study a second language to the advan- tages of being able to speak Spanish in some areas to just having nothing else to take that hour. Instructor Wilbur Hogg tried to make learning another language exci- ting and fun by singing songs and dancing around the room. His class was one of the few where the students learned while their teac- her exercised. “I didn’t like to sew, but I liked to cook. I learned a lot and I like Mrs. Sobba.” Dawn Hazen, freshman 18 by Stacy Shields
