Roles developed One of rhe more diversified oreos or Lincoln High is Home Economics. According ro Department Head Kay Sayre. The purpose of rhe deporrmenr is ro help srudents develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for rhe role of homemoker-family member, consumer, and wage-earner, ond for combining rhese roles. To achieve rhese goals, courses ore offered in rhe oreos of human development, monogemenr, nutrition ond foods, clothing, ond housing. Additions ond improvements increased oppor- tunities in several of rhe course oreos this year. A new doss offered in rhe Human Development division was Daycore Training. The students learned ro work wirh children in o Doycore Cenrer ond gained practical experience by establishing o nursery school. In Foods, a new attraction was Hospitality and Food Service This course developed entry level skills in rhe food service area. The deportment was equipped wirh resrouranr size appliances such as a grill and french fryer ro provide excellent job Training for indi- viduals interested in rhis course. The clothing deportment offered on individual- ized program so rhor students could work on their choice of sewing, knitting, aochefing or fabric design. Mrs. Sayre felt rhar interest in Home Economics here is high, mainly because many of rhe LHS srudenrs ore on rheir own ond need rhe basic skills in nutrition ond other areas. This of course applies ro rhe mole srudenrs also, as many of them were enrolled in quar- ter long foods classes such as Barbequeing ond Baking. 102—Academics Gay Schenomon keeps busy sewing costumes fa the Modrigol dmnet Above: Mrs Sayre instructs Kelly Davila on the consttucflon of o granny squae Below: Vicki Kuehn ond Kate Szalawigo hove fun whipping up Things to eor
