Home Ec welcomes males into new Single Living and Creative Stitchery were the two new courses added to the Home Ec Department this year. Single Living instructor, Ms, Kavathas, helped the students to live independently off their first paycheck. Also, careers for singles, single parenthood, foster care and male-female relationships were explored. Knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, and embroidery were the four basic areas covered in the Creative Stitchery class. The Home Ec Department also sponsored field trips and welcomed guest speakers. Single Living students went on a conducted tour of apartment complexes in Evanston. Foods classes journeyed to the near-by Jewel to examine grocery products and study nutrition, and Clothing 3 and 4 classes visited stores to learn about fashion and wardrobe planning. One of the head nurses from Lutheran General Hospital spoke to the Child Development classes on pre-natal development. Hypnotists, transactional anaylsis experts and professionals from social agencies were among the guest speakers in the Psychology classes. Involvement for boys in both the traditional Home Ec classes, Foods and Clothing, and in the new electives is the primary goal for the department next year. -.est Miss Coconato's Child Development class is one of the few in the school to take time out for a juice break.

Y 0 X9 Q -iss: ,I 'J 2 fi N Careers emphasized in Industrial d The Industrial Education Deparment worked this year with many newly purchased supplies. Students in auto classes had the opportunity to use a new ,tire changer, brake lathe, and head light aligner. Wood and electronics equipment was also purchased. Enrollment was about the same as last year, but efforts will be made to encourage greater participation in Industrial Education activities. The department is trying to promote more career education, so each area of study carried a unit covering this. Students in auto classes went into the field and interviewed workers on their jobs. Mr. Scheldrup, department chairman, hopes that there will be much more of this in the future.
