-v fl Girls Gain Child Care Experience Home Economics Recent additions to Franklin's home economies curriculum indicated a new focus on career education and personal expression. Girls taking the Child Care Cluster gained on-the-job training by working in local nursery schools and day-care centers. Other girls could choose the conventional full-year classes, or newer, more specialized courses such as Candle Making and Creative Stitchery. To supplement the expanded curriculum, the Home Economics Department submitted a five-year plan for new facilities to the school board. Mrs. Ruby Sewright, department chairman, mentioned an inside - outside playroom for pre-school children, larger sewing rooms, and better cooking facilities as the most urgent needs. C49 Academics 29

French, German, and Spanish, however, attracted enough students to justify offering a four- year sequence in each. When asked what has happened to bring on this apparent disinterest in languages, Miss Dorothy Grant replied, 'll simply don't know. One probable reason she gave was the elimination of college language requirements. C27 28 Academics r' ill Carol Olsen recites her Spanish into her headset.
