 Cooks . . . Cutters . . . Cakes The Home Economics Department at New Prairie has everything the student needs to know to learn to cook. sew. and get married ... yes, even get married. This year (as in many others) the famijy living classes put on a series of three marriages. The students went through a Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant ceremony complete with reception and all the trimmings. Other areas in which the students had discussions were: birth control, living together, and child rearing. In these classes the students got a chance to voice their opinions. The guys also had their hours to shine when they had the opportunities to cook various meals. Their pride was evident as you could see teachers like Mr. Matthews and Mr. Colborne feasting away.
