Some people imagined a cooking class was easy or something you should try to learn because after all you might have to cook yourself. True - it was fun to learn but as student Valerie Hackett pointed out, Cooking teach- es you the basics for survival once you're on your own.', Because cooking classes were electives, a student showed a genuine interest in learning by signing up for one. Since students will be using their cooking abilities possibly for the rest of their lives, this was definitely an important class. Mrs. I-lotaling noted that during the past five years there has been an increase of about one-third more guys in her cooking classes. This showed that guys'l are willing to learn too. Some students pursued cooking even far- ther into ROP restaurant. Teacher Ann Gem- mill stated, l'They learn how to make current foods. This would help them once they were on their own and needed to cook for them- selves. They met seventh period Wednesday and Thursday and offered students a wide va- riety of foods from brownies to hamburgers. Other classes offered were Interior Design, Single Survival, and Clothing. A recent one added in the past year was Fashion Merchan- dising. All of these classes were prepared and represented in a way that would help students meet future living demands. Business No matter what you do you will have to use business in your life sometime,', stated Mr. Bill Rarity. Some students might ask themselves why take a business course. They might feel they don't need one or they don't have room in their schedule. But you might want to stop and think. As student Kim Moyer stated, Typing will definitely help me in the future if I decide to go maybe into a secretarial type of job. Typing enabled you to learn the keyboard which also helped you if you were interested in the computer. Students, Mark Pearce and Carl Boernecke took typing for this reason. Some students such as Jenny Lee took typing just because they enjoyed it. As teacher Sandra Childers commented, Typing is a good exper- ience. Business offered a variety of topics such as learning to balance a checkbook, how to be a careful consumer, and how to manage money. They also taught you other basic skills that are needed after high school. Along with business and typing Poway High offered com- puter classes. Since computers were the wave of the future, they would probably be here for awhile. Knowing more about how they worked and definitely how to use one would be more beneficial. As Karin Morrison stated, I hoped it would help me with my career goals in the future. Along with business, typing, and com- puters Accounting was offered. Accounting helped teach some basics skills such as how to deal with future finances. It also helped stu- dents manage their time. All of these courses would definitely better a student as well as prepare him for college. John Forsythe and Chris McClure are working to prepare lunches in the Titan Terrace. Stacy Thibault and Joe Byrne listen with anticipation. Hifi A -iflkwt .ST 5 e., . 1 f sg lfff - .L ,...,, 328 Foculty Consumer Ed
