Courses included in the department's curriculum which teach this quality are Foods and Cooking. Aside from courses which deal with the preparation of food and clothing, this department also offers courses in Child Development and Interior Decorating. These courses serve dual purposes, as they teach practical skills, and also guide the student towards a career goal. The Home Ec department of LHS not only instructs stu- dents of the woes facing today's consumer and how to combat them, lout it also proves to be most enjoyable to both the males and females of LHS.

Mr. Robert Gray Mr, Elliot Lovi Cooperative Education Program One of Livingston High School's most innovative pro- grams is the Cooperative Education program. Headed by Mrs. Gompf, Mr. Lovi, Mrs. Ashley, Miss Voyski and Mr. Gray, many students choose to follovv this popular pro- gram. By following the Cooperative Education program, students are allowed to attend school in the morning and work in the afternoon. At school in the morning, Co-op students must take such required courses as English, His- tory and Physical Education. Then each student elects another course dealing with his or her occupation. In the afternoon, the Co-op students go to work and get on-the- job training in a field where they will seek employment after graduation. There are four sections of the Coopera- tive Education Department: Office Education, Industrial Education, Health Education and Distributive Education. These sections handle students who are interested in learning secretarial and clerical skills, electrical and mechanical skills, health occupational skills and marketing, retailing and wholesaling skills. Not only have the Living- ston High School students benefited from their working experiences, but local businesses have prospered also. alum o .W A7 .-'HM vv ',JM,u ' ff H J ss. . . wiwwl I iffy YQQH iigwg 5 ff A
