I Does Lsisa Burns always dress like this? Learning lo sew is a new experience for seventh grade home economic students. Rhonda Griffin gets a chance to take the pepsi challenge. Learning the Basics! “O.K., now the recipe calls for a pinch of sail.” Got it!” “Watch out! I said a pinch, you dum- my, not the whole box!” “Well, so what if our cookies taste like the Atlantic Ocean.” Racket like that above may not have been found in the home economics room during the year but there probably were some worse than that. Cooking isn’t the only thing home economics students did. For instance, many students made their own clothes to wear throughout the school year. Did you ever think you would get mar- ried before you graduate? Well, some of the home and family students took the long walk down the aisle. 28

Eight! grabirs learn experimental procedures In science class. PragriBBlig tki computer. John Hughes looks like an expert. Lunlig ta blwact in 5th period biology class can get a little messy. Dissecting One Phase of Biology!! Just “Hey, Tammy!” “Hey, whatta you want? “Guess what we're going to do in biology today?” “I don't know, but I sure hope we’re not going to dissect! ‘‘Oh, but we are going to dissect—fetal pigs!” “No way, I’m not even going to show up for class!” In biology, students weren’t always dissecting but they learned all about the wonderful world of nature and how nature works. Another class that was always doing something was chemistry. They hid in the new lab brewing up some goodies that could sometimes be smelled throughout the halls. A class that combines the subjects of science and math was physics which was taught by Mr. White. This class was open to juniors and seniors.

All About Business “Mrs. Waehaus, why do we have to type mailable letters today? I just can’t type a letter without making at least one mistake!” “Well, Lisa, that is why we are typing mailable letters, so you can learn how to do them.” Some people believe that the business classes are the easiest ones offered in high school. This belief is not entirely true. While some may be easier, there are others that are much harder. General business was a class that in- troduced students to the world of business. With the addition of several new elec- tric typewriters, the typing classes and secretarial skills class learned how to type different kinds of letters and reports and how to increase their speed and accuracy. Could you write 100 words a minute and be able to read it? The students in Shorthand I II learned how to take dicta- tion of speeds ranging from 40 to 120 words per minute. Rulers aren’t just used to draw squares and triangles. They are also used in ac- counting to draw straight lines when we are totaling and ruling the journals in our practice sets. 29
