HOME ECONOMICS Home Econom1cs Revolves Around F emily, Society Recognizing the importance of a family centered society, the homemaking classes of Sherman High School revolved around family life, child development, consumer education, home man- agement, foods and nutrition, and clothing and textiles. While most laboratory classes chose to use eggs in recipes, members of Home and Family Living classes use them to stimu- late parental responsibilities. Students found themselves having to feed, diaper, and to hire egg sitters when leaving them alone. ln Home and Family Living students learned about themselves and their roles as family members. Realizing that today's young people are marrying later, the homemaking classes are also teaching single survival. This acquaints students with knowledge and skills needed to survive on their own. Realizing the importance of cooking and experiencing the ris- ing prices of clothes, freshman. Donna Gaddis enrolled in Home Ec. because I enjoy cooking and can become a better cook and have a chance to try different recipes. 1.

Science Labs Provide Challenge Dissecting earthworms, frogs, cats, classifying plants and ani- mals, plotting graphs, making paper airplanes for contest, and completing endless scores of lab experiments provided a chal- lenge for highly motivated, as well as the uninterested science student. Finding students concerned with their environment, the sci- ence department at Sherman High School expanded their prof gram through lab assignments, thus making learning by doing, easier to understand. Biology, the wondrous world of nature and most abstract of the sciences, gave students the opportunity to learn how important genetics, bacteria, and other one-celled organisms are to every animal, plant, and man on earch. Junior, Cary McDougal described Biology ll as, 'Biology is pretty hard but its O.K. We take a lot of notes. l took the class because I want to be a doctor. Velocity, motion, electricity, and laws which govern the mate- rial world are studied in detail in Physics. Conducting numerous lab experiments, students find a special fascination for Chemistry as they study the fundamental ele- ments of every worldly element. Concerning Chemistry class, Kris Taylor, sophomore, commented, l felt l needed Chemistry for college. To be a veterinarian l need a great deal of work, but I enjoy labs and its neat when l finally understand something. Physical Science is a general study of all the sciences. The class covers subjects used in everyday life such as sound, heat, and electricity. 4. 1. Mr. Steve Rodgers lectures to class while in Lab. 2.

With up to half of the Sherman High School student body participating in at least one class of art, instruc- tors unveiled numerous talents as students labored to complete impressive portfolios. Art l and ll students covered the principals of draw- ing and painting with the use of pencil, water color, chalk and tempra paint. Art lll and IV students go into further depth with advanced work, and they have an opportunity to pursue special areas of interest. Head ot the Art Department, Mrs. Nell Hannah praises her students, I think the professionalism of my art students is amazing. .cw ,ye - 2. 1. Drawing cars is Senior, Carl Brown's speciality, 2.
