LOOKING GOOD TO HEAR WEDDING BELLS AND HEARING WEDDING BELLS TO COOK, CLEAN, SEW, AND TAKE CARE OF BABIES. What a year for Home Econom- ics! We got a new teacher and dis- covered many different and new things than ever before. Boys even took home ec for the first time . All this began with a new teacher Mrs. Ellingsworth, whose enthusi- asm and hard work proved to be rewarding. At the first of the year everyone began with studying how to look his or her very best with clothes and good grooming. These points were expressed by professional persons who spoke to the classes. Speeches were given on hair-cutting, make- up, and manicures. Also speaking was a representative from Weight Watchers and a Fashion Coordina- tor. After getting themselves looking good the classes studied about what happens when one gets married. Giving speeches this time was a real estate agent, home economist, lawyer, and minister. The biggest event of the year for the home ec classes was a mock wedding. Yes, a wedding, with everything including a reception. At this wedding students held a cer- emony with all the persons in a real wedding played by the students in the fourth period home ec class. A reception was held after the mock wedding and food was served. This food was prepared by the students themselves. The wedding being over, now was the time to learn what goes with marriage. These things were man- aging a budget, cooking, cleaning, sewing, and even caring for chil- dren. For home economics this was a year of changes, learning, growing, and new and different things. And they made for the better. Above: Debbie Vanover watches as a repre- sentative from Merle Norman's prepares to do a demonstration on how to put on make-up.
