Teaching education majors found valu- able information in SNEA, their professional organization. Linda Helm, sponsor, said, The club sought to take its members be- yond the classroom learning by having guest speakers discuss the advantages of teaching and problems that would be faced in the world of education. As has been a tradition with SNEA, the organization gave out the 'The Big Apple Award' to the teacher who the students con- sidered to be the best faculty member. Classics was in its second year of suc- cess. The club, which offered students mod- eling skills, modeled at area businesses and the Old Hickory Mall along with a very big modeling exhibition for the annual Asso- ciates Fashion Show. Sherry DePriest, one of the coordinators, said, Classics was a great opportunity for students to visit area businesses and offer them a talent. Julie Curry was the other coordinator. The Home Economics Association acquainted students with professional ca- reers and activities related to those careers, Today's home economist is interested in helping individuals and families to manage their time, money, resources and people in order to have happier, more productive homes. HEA is affiliated with the national and state Home Economics Associations. HEA is active in Washington and national officers of HEA are frequently consulted about the im- pact on families of some legislation.
