'af tomachs growled and mouths watered as the smell of homemade apple pies, made by the homemaking class, lilled the B floor halls. These pies were no longer baked only by girls. I took Homemaking because I know that I will not always have a woman to cook my meals and clean my clothes for me, said Scott Whitztker. Besides that, I do not want to have to be dependent on someone else for the rest of my lite. Homemaking classes studied and cooked all kinds of foods, but they concentrated on breakfast foods and soups. Students made Christmas dinner for the Future Homemakers of America banquet. Child Development, also once considered a girl's class, is aimed at everyone because it stresses the im- portance of both the male and fe- male role models - the parents. Cutting squares for a checkerboard, Shanea Wlilson operates a band saw with the help of Chris Limmer and Shane Davis. Shanea was the only girl in Ron Daniels' Plastics class. Pham by George Thixlun, 2 QKI It is now more important than ever for guys to know about child care because more mothers work and the job of raising the kids is split between the parents more evenly, john Kirkland said. Shop classes have not been as quick to break tradition, though. Plastics is still considered a class lor guys because most girls do not like to get dirty or work with ma- chines, Shanea Wfilson, a member of Ron Daniels' class, said. It is really not bad. Wfhen I ask how to do something, the guys end up doing the whole thing for me! All these students have one thing in commong they are in class- es that have traditionally been ei- ther for males or females. However, the adults in society have changed their views. Students and teachers have altered their attitudes to keep up with current trends and what some people consider future ne- cessities. 'Hoineinaking is no longer just for girls. In fact, there were more guys in my class than there were girls. And why not? Cooking and cleaning are part oflife! - Mitch jones
