Senior girls took Home and Family Living to prepare themselves for life away from home. Speakers on marriage and home economics helped the girls improve personal, family and community living. The girls learned about birth defects and how they were caused. Improving and developing arts such as cooking, child care and their appearance, the girls learned more than what was in the average textbook. 'fVVe encourage using creative efforts within the household, such as painting and stitchery, said Mrs. Ruth Bailey, and learning how to buy foods, meal planning and the preparation of meals. The Home and Family Living classes were involved with the March of Dimes and they learned how to work with Artex paints. Students learned mainly how to use their time effectively in clothing and foods, and how to plan a budget for the years to come. 208 - HOMEMAKINC 3 E B An interesting speaker attracts the attention of Home and Family Living teacher, Mrs. Ruth Bailey. , - E l i i V The subject ofhuman behavior holds the attention of Diane Smith and Barbara Heine. i l Annual turkey preparation lessons are given by Assistant Principal Clanton to faculty members prior to Thanks- giving. mmefgs:wm::ei....aemmemwatta,w e,fiM-W.easaeisanriafnfaa'maemasa'-Mefw-m5'a'm:1M- 5.:wmawsri1tms.wL '
