Photo by Vicki Causey This is your life Courses appeal to all students as school prepares them for world of equal opportunities for all one were the days when courses such as typewriting were reserved for the girls, while the guys elected manly fields such as electronics or construction. For work oriented courses were in tune with the time. junior Debbie Kirkpatrick, the only girl enrolled in electronics, was a case in point. I took this course because I was gonna take computer program- ming, and they told me this would help out, she said. 'But I didn't expect to be the only girlf' The only girl distinction presented no problems, Debbie said, except everybody picks on mefl Debbie's grades indicated that she had elected a proper course, for at the end of the first nine weeks she had a B.'l She described her experience as typical of the '8Ols. Girls wouldn't have taken electronics when my mother was in school, she said. My mother wanted to be a secretary because that's what girls were supposed to do. Home economics is another area that has outgrown the girl course stigma it had in the past. Senior Mike Willett elected the subject so he could survive when I get out on my own. His first sewing project was a maroon double knit jump suit, and as he pinned the pattern pieces on the lumpy bolt of material, he expressed faith in his ability to master the art. Like I don't know how to sew, but I'll learn, he said. When I move into my own place, Mom won't be around all the timef, - By Susan Slater 54!
