Q .......,,h-sua Hardware heats up! temperatures rise and things come to the boiling pointg in other words . . . Things get hot in Hom The heavenly aroma of food cooking in its final stages filled the zero-hall. Salivating students walked by and contemplated taking the course next year. 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.

t's 8:55 p. . and 'm not prepared t's 8:00 p.m. A solitary student sits quietly in his room, staring at pages on which the words become a blur. Suddenly, as Bob Seger's emotion-filled voice comes over the radio, the student reaches over and cranks the volume up a little louder. Checking the time again at 8:03, he resists the urge to join his fami- ly watching reruns in the family room. One more desperate attempt to look at the pages scattered across the bed, but it's no use. He begins to sing the familiar words to Night Moves, letting the music carry him away for a few relaxing moments, Seger fades off the radio, but the student keeps on singing, doing a solo on the chorus. Five minutes later the student works up enough energy to glance back at the scattered pages, This time the pages look back at him laughing sadistically, promising to keep him up until midnight. Another clock check, already 8:15, time for a snack break. After a quick trip to the kitchen, he reenters the bedroom, carry- ing a large bowl of ice cream smothered with chocolate and a diet soda. Feeling refreshed after the break, the student determinedly grabs a page and reads the words repeatedly. He does the same with two more pages. A comes over the radio announcing that it's 8:55. Disbelief washes over the student's face as he realizes he's actually been studying for almost thirty minutes. He's not been staring into space, not singing, not even eating. He's been doing some actual, down-to-earth, old- fashioned, honest to goodness studying. Over- come with pride, he begins packing the papers neatly away in his folder. It's 9:00 p.m. and the same solitary student lies quietly in his room, staring at walls on which the pictures become a blur. In the back of his mind, Night Moves is playing over and over. For a moment he becomes Bob Seger standing in the spotlight in front of thirty thou- sand people, pouring his heart out to strangers. One final clock check reveals that it's 10:00 o'clock. Wondering if he will pass tomorrow's test, or if the girl in his Algebra class thinks he's a jerk, the student shuts his eyes and drifts off to sleep. -julie Richards junior theme takes a great deal of time consuming effort and studying of another kindjim Hurlbert fjuniorj works to collect information on his subject, Edgar Allan Poe.
