THOROUGHLY THRILLED . . . Tony Yaggi receives some advice on managing his food budget in Family Living class. Vocational practice success 1 B How many pairs of harem pants? The answer to this question amazed clothing stu- dents who were enlisted to make costumes for The King and I. Some students who had roles in the play made their own cos- tumes; for example, Therese Moriarty, who was Princess Tuptim. They told us we did more costumes than any other year, commented Mrs. Ma- ginn. Budding seamstresses have different requirements for each level, but some complete more than the requirements, and en- ter garments in style shows and fairs. The enrollment in the Foods, Advanced Foods, and Family Living classes is not all girls, said Mrs. Shank. Andy Johnson is in advanced foods because he is interested being a chef. Other boys enrolled in the classes included Tony Yaggi and Scott Evans. The Foods classes gained some practical experience in food service when they acted as servers for the Guardian Angel Guild banquet. Mechanical Drawing is not an academic course, but more vocational, instructor Mr. Mike Mazelin commented. We also offer two advanced levels, Machine Design and Ar- chitecture, he added. Advanced levels compete in a special project along with other Indianapolis high schools. This year's project is a campsite de- sign. Designs are submitted to professional architects forjudg- ing. Winners receive cash, prizes. When asked if students in these classes would be ready for jobs using their skills immedi- ately after graduation, Mr. Ma- zelin, remarked, No, I think they would need further train- ing. But they do learn how to use the instruments and some basics about design which may be helpful. A former student designed a 220 track which would fit in the space near the football field. If executed, the track could be used for practice, although not for intramural competition. SPECIAL GUESTS . . . Ramona Guardian Angel Guild luncheon, held Walls, home economics student, serves to raise funds for the special education special education students at the classroom. 56 Home Economics Mechanical Drawing
