To give students practical knowledge about various domestic subjects-from the care of children to cooking nutri- tious meals-is the main objective of the Home Economics Department. Besides basic courses, specialized courses in clothing and foods are offered. Many girls enjoy working with the kindergarten children in Child Development and Child Care Services classes. A specially designed Home Eco- nomics course is also offered for in- terested boys. By teaching them basic concepts of cooking, sewing, and child care, this course proves helpful to many boys. Interpersonal Relationships is a popular course open to both boys and girls. In it, students learn to deal with every- day family situations. One of the high- lights of the course is a mock wedding, designed to prepare students for future planning. Adequate preparation for assuming the duties of caring for a home and family is important for success in later life, and the Home Economics teachers seek to teach students these vital skills. fAbove leftl Some kids say the darnest things. lA have righ tl An interesting instructor and curious children make a happy learning experience.

Besides the neces- . sary drudgery of vocabulary lists and gram- mar drills, practice conversations, reading stories and experiencing the culture of each particular country added zest to for- eign language courses. Five levels of French and Spanish and three of Latin were taught. Students in the lower levels struggled with the basics of their chosen language, while those who reached the upper levels enjoyed the literature of noted for- eign authors. When difficult material brings forth complaints, teachers brightly respond, Can you imagine the trouble the foreigners have learning Englishfp'
