Faculty Gets Involved in Home Economics Department The Home Economics Department found this year that the most popular courses were Bachelor Survival, Family Relations, and Child Develop- ment. In the Child Development class, the students learn about children and their activities. Knowing this helps them for the Child Development Center. ln the Center the students are considered as Student Teachers . They individually plan out the activities for the children that hour. During the Bachelor Survival class, Mrs. Isley, department chairman, invited the male faculty to prepare their favorite dish. This was meant to show the bachelor students that almost every man is a Galloping Gourmet in his own way. Be- sides the learning aspect, the students also have fun. Mrs. Patricia Bell Mrs. Kathryn Hill Mrs. Joy lsley Department Head Mrs. Linda Lewis Mrs. Sherry Smith With apron on and hair held back, Scott Parnell attempts a mas terpiece in Bachelor Survival.
