The purpose of Home Economics is to better prepare the student for a happy and more successful family Life. Courses are offered in five major areas: foods and nutrition, clothing and textiles, child development, housing and interior design, and marriage and family relations. The economics curriculum has been changed con- siderably from general to specific home economics courses. With specialized courses, the student can take exactly what he wants. This year the department offered several new courses. Food service is a two hour class in which food is pre- pared as it would be in a restaurant. Other firsts are classes in child development, interior designing and boys' chef. All of these are semester courses. Fresh- men and sophomores can take a course in family relat- ions while seniors take a class in family living. The great variety of courses offers students of any grade level to participate, which is what the department is aiming toward.

With this in mind, the vocational education department has added one new administrative and two new teaching positions. Also, the industrial arts courses will eventually become vocationally oriented, rather than merely survey courses.

Advanced Physical Education is also offered for stud- ents who have completed first year P. E., who are really interested, and highly skilled in athletics. Girls' and boys' physical education differ in many ways. While the boys work largely on muscle build- ing activities, the girls work in recreational sports and gymnastics. Perhaps the most important development in phy- sical education is being able to work, play, and show excellent sportsmanship with fellow students. Julie Swift Freshman Girls' P. E., J.V.
