ls there life after high school? lt's a question many students ask themselves and some are surprised that the answer is yes. Preparation for the road that lies ahead can be learned in classes such as single survival which teaches a stu- dent howto cook basic dishes, budget his finances and fill out a resume, among other things. This is one home economics class where boys feel com- fortable, according to single survival teacher Mrs. Ann Schwab. I thought it would be a good class to help me after college when I get out on my own, commented junior Jeff Packman. For those who wish to eat food that is more basic, the gourmet foods class offers instruction on how to prepare foreign dishes. The specialties of a dif- ferent country are studied each week. Topics such as pastries, breads and unusual desserts are also covered. Students interested in having a nice place to survive in can take interior design. We learn fundamental things about proportion, color schemes and fur- niture styles, remarked senior Gail Cunningham. To put their knowledge to use, the students paint and decorate their classroom at the end of the semester. 2 Home Economics H 0 M E E C , Single Survival helps I students prepare for life We're also going to learn how to fabric a wall using the bulletin boards, stated Cunningham. Even if you don't want to be an in- terior decorator, you learn how to at least have you own house look halfway decent, said senior Julia Smith. Other home economics classes in- clude family living, child development, food, consumer economics, tailoring, clothing and textiles and a combina- tion of food and nutrition.
