That rabbit food sure looks good! Jo Ann Cloninger, a University of Hous- ton graduate with a B.S. degree, teaches home economics, sponsors the F.H.A. club, and finds the time to enjoy music and traveling. im GUfDfM( UGwr . . . Home Economics combines home management, clothing, foods, and personality into one major unit. In this unit the artist is able to deviate from the continuous and decisive manner necessary for most topics. Here he can associate, combine, and create a new style, portraying the understand- ing, idealization, and preparation obtained by each girl. Understanding is colored clear. It evolves from the minds that become doubtless when decisions can be made as a result of proper training. Ideal- ization, symbolized by green, shines through when a suitable personality is rooted and, after good morals, sprouts. Preparation, the purpose of which is never finished, is captured by the blue of an endless ocean. Frances Lauraine, homemaking teacher, spends her spare time making ceramics, painting, and learning to play the organ. She received a B.S. degree from the Uni- versity of Texas and an M.S. degree from the University of Houston. Libby Karnes looks on as Mrs. CIcnmger illustrates the an of sewing. 329
