Classes Aimed At Increasing Specialized Skills And Interests Mrs. Duggan can check blood measurements with this two-way stethoscope. WVITIlfe m Two other specialized departments at King are Home Economics and Health. Within the health division, health occupations is taught from several angles. One way is through teaching the various methods of medical care. Even more interesting, however, is when students, as mem- bers of HOSA, take jobs participating as trainees and aids to people holding health related occupations in the community and in hospitals. When one thinks of home economics, immediately two very general ideas come to mind: cooking and sewing. Because this is actually a much deeper field. King’s program is also much more detailed. They teach courses in basic foods and nutrition; and in caring for groups of children as well as individually. The classes in sewing consist of everything from learning about fabrics and planning outfits, to basic sewing techniques. Advanced students learn fashion designing in clothing production classes, and a touch of interior design in textiles. Home Economics 63

Around The World In 180 Days Social Studies 65 The social studies department of King consists of a dedicated group of teachers with the same goal: to enrich the minds and lives of young people. The de- partment is made up of eleven teachers, all with unique and successful styles of teaching. Some of the courses taught are American History, Psychology I and II. PAD. and Family Life. In these classes a student can explore the mind, study their country’s history, evaluate the family structure, and learn about the economy of the United States and other nations. Each is different in its own way, but still falls in the category of social studies. Mrs. Fales, Mr. Thompson, and Mrs. Clem feel that the school is run very well with just a few discipline problems. Mrs. Fales expresses her approval, As a whole. King is a very good school; the best in the county.”
