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.

-1 gi. W'B' -- A, ,dad 23 This year-perhaps sensing the energy Q shortage-Old Man Winter was lax. April showers and warm May breezes eharacteriz ed a 1974 January. Students missed pre-Christmas school parties because of a surprise snow that lingered a full week. These days added to the ridiculed seven-day vacation pro- posed made most pupils Qand teachersj jubilant. One bright spot on the winter scene, possibly because of its novelty, was re- gistration. Confused and confident, dissappointed and satisfied, students rushed about to have schedules filled and approved. Pre-occupation with exams, final grades, and new courses gave way in mid- january to enthusiasm for the Whirlie basketball and wrestling teams. However, the inevitable winter slump crept through Grimsley halls, permeated classrooms, and infected intellects in epidemic propor- tions, and even V alentine's Day awakened few. Only Spring could cure the malady.
