Home Ec. Provides Challenging Experiences The goals of home economics are to provide instruction and challenging experiences that promote a positive self-image, satisfying relation- ships and useful techniques, explains Mrs. Ruby Blews. Encouragement of students to get into home economics related occupations is also involved. I feel that I have truly benefited from the home economics classes at EHS, remarks Kelly Kriszamer. senior. I am now taking fundamental clothing. This is an advanced sewing class in which clothing and textiles is a prerequisite. Some of the other courses offered are: child care services, family living, and child development. Through these courses. careers such as childhood TX? education, dietetics, child psychology and coun- seling are opened to the students. Many activities are involved in the program. Participants are involved in students helping at community kindergartens, field trips to area businesses, fashion displays, plus community involvement through Future Homemakers of America. Appliances for school class activities such as cooking andbaking are supplied. Through a special school plan, new gas ranges have been placed in the department by the City of Pensacola, Mrs. Blews explains. We obtain new electric ranges. refrigerators, washers, dryers and freezers each year.
