ALLEN COUNTY CO-OP ASSOCIATION Farm Supplies— Grain Marketing New Haven, Indiana-Phone: 749-5139 the Kitchens Future homemakers are given a chance to develop their skills in the New Haven ' s home economics classes. All the aspects of managing a home are covered in these classes. Home management is a general course, designed to help girls in caring for the entire home. The skills necessary for budgeting and decorating are reviev ed in this class. Child core— a course showing how to care for young children— would be helpful to almost all girls. Text education is supplemented with demon- strations. Home nursing is an introduction to the field of nursing— yet it is helpful to anyone. Simple first aid for home use is taught along with more complicated pro- cedures. Girls who ore particularly skilled in sewing or cooking find advanced home economics suited to their needs. The cooking classes teach not only how to cook a good meal, but also how to make attractive meals and table settings, and how to make each meal fulfill basic nutritional requirements. Home economics, however, be- comes even more interesting when it ' s time to eat! Sewing students are taught not only how to use a sewing machine, but also how to choose correct styles and coordinate colors. When the course is completed, each girl has enriched her wardrobe with several new articles of clothing. Students in the more advanced classes ore required to work with more complex patterns and mate- rials. The year 1965 saw the first boys ' home economics class at NHHS. The class was taught like the girls ' and was received with much enthusiasm this year. Some great concoctions were created in that classroom!
