Students received wide spread exposure in many areas with the help of guest speakers. No one did more project and hands-on work than those stu- dents in the home economics and business classes. Business classes did hands-on job pro- grams, along with occupational and job analysis reports. Some classes were conducted as busi- ness meetings to enhance the self awareness activities and budgeting programs. Quest speakers were abundant in the home economics classes, which heard speakers on child abuse, single parent life, inde- pendant living and even toy safety. Activities included pie and cake parties, teas, field trips on the selection of china and crystal, and their most pop- ular activities, fashion shows and the mock wedding. These were all used to help students see more tangible uses for their education. Teaching moved away from strict textbook learning, and switched to personal and group discussions. As, choral teacher, Mr. Earl Binns said, ‘‘Student participation is important, and teacher interaction must take place with the group and indi- viduals.’ All of this helped to make classroom activities a lit- tle more exciting and enjoyable for all.
