The Home Mrs. Morrow is the teacher of the Home Economics Department. The Home Economics curriculum gave to the students some basic principles and practice in making decisions in various areas of daily living: clothing, housing, nutrition, consumer economics, and per- sonal, social, and family adjustment. The variety of offerings made it possible for students in 10th and 11th grades to have an elective course in Home Economics. Students participated in actual food prep- aration, serving, and other practical areas. Students in Family Living use some of their time for individual study.

Language Coach Ray and his students enjoy using the facilities of the Language Lab. Spanish students listen carefully for in- structions. Many feel that Spanish has a valid claim to being The Second Language in Florida. Other reasons justify an emphasis in Spanish in our Public Secondary Schools. There is a general cultural enrichment to come from the abilities to read and speak Spanish. These faculties afford another outreach to- ward an interesting group of our fellow- human beings. For both motivation and the value of the information, emphasis was placed on a mastery of the background, geography, cultural implications; the roles of the Spaniards in Civilization and their contri- butions. Mr. Ray enjoys reading or preparing for his next lessons during his spare time.
