Girls Exercise Pfrefrogatvlves The Home Economics Department of Lapel High School decided to try a new approach to this year's program. The senior girls were given the opportu- nity to make anything that interested them. They decided to make jelly and to can fruits and vege- tables. Both projects turned out well and all of the girls learned much by the experience. These girls also prepared a very enjoyable Christmas dinner for several teachers. The junior girls had an exciting year expanding their sewing skills, while the sophomores were taught home nursing and child care after a semester of cooking foods of their choice. The junior high girls learned the difficult art of sanding and varnishing desks in the home ec. room. The amount that each girl has learned in Home Economics can only be measured by the ability she will show as a future homemaker and mother. As a bit of entertainment along with education, senior girls enjoy reading a recent issue of CO-ED Magazine in senior home ec. class In their second year of high school home economics, sophomores Deb bie Hobbs and Alicia Wilhoite wait patiently for their spaghetti to cook. 28

Mathematical Concepts Retained Math classes began with topics such as the natural numbers, deductive geometry, postulation systems, and similarity, which intrigued the students. The math curriculum grew continually more difficult and the students laboriously advanced to the climax course of pre-calculus. This course includes trigono- metric functions, probability, inverse functions, log- arithmic and exponential functions, complex num- bers, polar coordinates, and solid and analytic geometry. As new facets to the math program, group study in aid to both students and teachers, was employed, and advanced algebra and pre-calcu- lus classes were entered in the Competitive Math Testing Program. Seniors complete their fourth and final year with Mr. Gehlbach. Senior Tony Mullet is engrossed in his advanced algebra book. 30 From its many angles, geometry intrigues sophomore, Laurie May.
