For most students at Green Mountain High School upon hearing Home Econi- mics think of a class of girls learning or perfecting their cooking skills. Well lets set the record straight. Home Economics is not only cooking classes filled with girls. Now more than ever, guys are taking a variety of Home Ec. classes. Home Eco- nomics classes include the traditional be- ginning and advanced cooking classes, sewing and knitting classes, and the occu- pations classes. There is also child devel- opment and health ed. classes and mar- riage and family living. Part of the reason more guys are taking more Home Ec. courses is the teachers are making the classes more applicable to males. Popular classes for guys are Contemporary Living and Independent Living. It's not too bad, is it? Of course not! Especially with the courses offered here at Green Mountain. This year's reading program caters to each individual's needs. The Building Reading course is designed to build up skills in reading and learning.The advanced Reading is for the college bound student. It offers skills in speed reading and taking notes to pre- pare you for future classes. When asked what her idea of what the ideal student is, Ms.Leinaweaver replied, The student that learns experimentally from the beginning of the course to the end. The teachers this year were Ms. Leinaweaver and Ms.Couture. Both teachers felt that the reading program was a worthwhile program because of the students that participated. Home Ec. Paraphanalia.

The music section of Green Mountain is one of the most varied and active. There are a wide variety of bands, includ- ing Wind ensemble, Concert Band, Spec- trum Jazz Band, Symphonic Band, Marching Band. Besides the band groups, there are the vocal music with Shadows of the Mountain, or just Shadows, Con- cert Choir, Vocal Minority, Images and Advanced Womens Choir. Along with these groups is the Orchestra. Some high points in the music department were when the Marching Band went to the state tournament and brought home fourth place. When asked if they had a good time all of my sources agreed they had. One Sophomore said, I enjoyed the competitiveness of the advancement. When you move up you really feel good. This year in the Art department of Green Mountain many interesting and imaginative projects were found to be of an excellent quality. Some of these pro- jects, by the students of our school, were paintings, sculptures, drawings, and pot- tery. Also, the classes offered range from four classes of drawing and painting to only one or two of sculpting. Other objects of art around the school are primarily around the library. These are the Corvette, done last year, the Me- dieval wall and others. ln addition to these the Jungle wall in the science de- partment was painted several years ago. No one has to be an artist in order to take an art class. They just have to have moti- vation to do their very best and be proud of it. Although there are some extremely good art students who take their work very seriously. An artist's hands at work. Toby Rockley plays the piano. Dave Henderson, hard at work in Art Class. Academics 59
