Home Economics Cooking Up Ideas by Tracy Steffen The Home Economic Department has expanded yet one step further this year. Among their various classes they included a Life Skills course instructed by janet Iler. This course taught handicapped stu- dents basic nutrition and food preparation. The ob- jective of this course was to prepare these students for independent living. Aside from Life Skills, other classes taught by Iler were Introductory, Inter- mediate, and Exploratory Foods. Exploratory Foods, which was previously known as Bachelor Foods, was designed for the senior, male students with no previous foods course. Sharon Anderson taught Introductory Foods, Child Development, Special Home Economics, and Family Life. Family Life was also taught by Blythe Barber as well as Explora- tory Foods and Home Man- agement. One of the major projects in the Family Life course required the students to individually prepare either for marriage or single liv- ing. A Bridal Fair was held for those who chose the marriage project and repre- sentatives from local busin- esses assisted the students. The department felt the need to interest more males in the offered courses, especially Family Life. The department felt it was a course which was valu- able to every student, regardless of whether they intend to marry or remain single, said Ian Welbes. Welbes, the department chairperson, taught Inter- mediate, Advanced, Semin- ar, and IndependentfFoods. Clothing courses, taught by Ellen Goettler, are In- troductory, Intermediate, Advanced, Seminar, and Independent. In May the Fine Arts Festival was held. A Spring Fashion Show was done by the clothing students. Other classes such as Home Man- agement and Interior De- sign also contributed their work. Eunice Simpson was the instructor for Interior De- sign as well as Introductory Foods and Child Develop- ment. junior, Renee Cumpton said, The classes are inter- esting and they can prepare you for the future. Students are preparing for a career in the Home Economics field. I would like to see students consider the op- portunities available in the foods field, said Iler. ,,.v 'Ar Y' 49'- .- 11 Home Ec students, Todd Fudge, and Scott Warrington, sit down to enjoy their meal.

The first was Advanced Placement English and the second was an Honors English course. Advanced Placement English IAPEI, was for seniors with college level ability and was taught by Ken Resch. Honors English was for freshmen with advanced ability. I think classes should be more divided according to interest and ability levels. In some classes, people with lower ability are being pushed too hard, while smarter people are really bored. This doesn't just happen in English either, it can happen in any of the departments, said Amy Krouse '85, There are contests throughout the year that were open to the English Students. One was the David Rabe one-act play contest. Students wrote and submitted their plays to be selected for production by Vince Williams of the theatre department. The plays were performed on December ninth and eleventh when the final judging took place and awarded first through fifth place. Other contests were speech contests and various essay contests sponsored by community groups. 97
