Cakes Aren ' t All We Make Home Economics has always been cooking and sewing, but at Mulvane High School, students are learning that they have a larger variety of home eco- nomic classes. They have Family Liv- ing, Child Development, Clothing III, Foods III, Home Crafts and Interior De- sign. The Family Living class offers an in- terpersonal relationship with students. The students learn more about them- selves and their families. This will bet- ter prepare them in understanding rela- tionships whether they marry or remain single. The Child Development class broad- ens the family living class by teaching about growth and deve lopment of chil- dren. The students really enjoy the pre- school time, interacting with the chil- dren truly is a socializing interaction. The Clothing classes introduce more than sewing. Fashion, wardrobe coordi- nation, textiles, merchandizing, and construction are all a big part of the clothing world. The students have fun learning more about how clothing ex- presses their feelings. A fashion show in the spring allows the community to see the skills and talents of the stu- dents as they model the garments they constructed in class. Food classes are always popular and usually associate cooking and eating. The students learn that the foods class includes nutrition, consumerism, ette- quite, entertaining, and working with various preparation methods. The stu- dents enjoy the laboratory experiences the most. Many successful dishes are created in the kitchen - yeast breads, omiets, quich6, cakes, cookies, and much more. The students also experi- ment with foreign cookery and learn more about the ethnic background of many foods. They also entertain the faculty in the spring at an afternoon so- cial. This often lends to sharing recipes among students and teachers. The interior design class teaches the students the elements and principles of design relating to the house. The stu- dents then create houses into homes. With the human touches of crafts, the home then reflects the individuals flare for interior decorating. Everyone s life is centered around a common station-the home. Home Eco- nomics helps people develop a stron- ger homelife and family. With today s economic and social problems, people must join together and be a stronger family unit. i Junior, Doody Woody stirs up another successful dish during Home Economics class. 22 Uome Economics

Drama Does It!?! Hooray for Santa Claus!! ' Yes, the Drama Depart- ment has done it again. For the eighth year in a row, the drama classes have put on Children s Theatre Produc- tions for the primary students, in Advanced Drama this year, the class performed The Toys Take Over Christ- mas , and first and third hour classes, ' The Timid Dragon . The primary children loved it!! However, this success did not fall into place ovemight. Under the direction of i s. IMarge Qoering, the Drama classes worked, sweated, memorized, and finally mastered the two productions. The professional-like style of Ms. Qoering brought success again. With the two Children ' s Theatre Productions over, the Drama Department fever- ishly started working on the Spring Production. Consist- ing of one acts, solo acts, and Forensic material, the show was a complete success. However, this could not have been pulled off with- out the help of the much needed Tech Theatre class. Building the set, collecting and making props, organiza- ing costumes, and running lights and sound was an important part of these individuals ' grades. All in all, the Drama Department had a very success- ful year, and thanks to the never - ending devotion of IMS. Qoering, the department is ready to break a leg next year. Senior, Kelly Schauf and Sophomore, Kelly Hoover rehearse for Children ' s Theatre. Juniors, RaShell Lashbrook and Tracy Qoforth ask, We should do what, l s. Qoer- ing? 24 Drama
