Students already enrolled in the class settled down to sample the final product. Homemaking was designed to offer students, male and female, a chance to become prepared for life after high school. Cooking was just one of the many problems of adult life that were dealt with during the course of the year. The class also expanded on child-rearing and discussed the problems of teenage pregnancy. Two courses that were also offered to students wanting to be well-prepared for adulthood were Home Furnishings and Home Management. These classes offered assistance on decorating and furnishing a home and managing the budget and balancing a checkbook. Students who participated in Home Furnishings took a field-trip to a local mobile home dealer where they were allowed to view some contemporary decorating ideas. After completing these courses most students felt better prepared for dealing with the many new experiences of independence. julie Richards. making Cutting ex- penses, David R e d b e c k fseniorj makes a bread of low budget ingre- dients.
