Sore Fingers HOME EC CLASS PICKS BLACK BERRIES Home economics classes had a different touch this year as wild blackberries were hunted by the entire home ec class for canning. Other cooking activities included a Mickey Mouse cake done by Elaine Quilhaugh, Belva Fry, and Sharon Walker and a superb beef stroganoff done by Cliff Parkhurst and Terry Cowan. Sewing projects included quilts, stuffed animals and shirts. The high school chorus class — Peggy Morgan, Alice Blondell, Debi Butler, Deanna Smith, Nancy Smith, Sherry Allen, Sue Justice, Debbie Cain, Jeannette Fleming and Elaine Quilhaugh — was in- structed by Miss Sylvia Anderson. The class sang several numbers at the Christmas program the night of December 16. The shop class also had a busy year. Most of the students worked on their own projects, getting assistance from teacher, Pete Nightingale. Caren Shorb made a night stand and picture frame, and Reno Lucas carved a bayonet. Other projects included a book- case done by Robin Weltch, a coffee table and knick-knack shelf by Teri Riley and a cradle by Allyson Cummings. The annual class was pressed for time because of a conflict between picture schedules and teachers. Since some teachers did not want students taken out of class, a picture-taking schedule had to be made up a week in advance to be included in the daily announcements.
