uSniff, sniff . . ., whatls that smell?ll, someone called out as the bell ending first hour rang. ilThatls my Quiche Lor- rainell, declared Mike Bettlach proudly. Cook- ing was just one of the many skills which were taught to a class of young men in the new course, Contemporary Living. Mrs. Libby Broekhoven, or as she was more com- monly called by her students, ttMrs. Bfl ex- plained, tt1 believe having an all boy class creates a better learning atmos- phere and makes it easier for the guys to concen- tratefl Good manners, good grooming, clothing care, preparing simple meals, manicuring, and child care were all subjects covered throughout the w n .- .u-g M..mmim A - year. During the unit of child study, the class took trips to day-care centers, and held parties for young preschoolers from the grade school. Even though not all the students cooked Quiche Lorraine blindfolded like Mike Bettlach, they still enjoyed the class. ltIt was more work than I expect- ed, but I liked it , an- nounced Vince Berg. Mark Bertalott added, ttIt ' was a lot different than I thought it would be, and there was a lot to learn? Starting off the day with a group of young men wasnlt half as rough as it seemed, as long as you kept them busy learning. ltAnd thaw, remarked Mrs. Broekhoven, ltwasnlt difficult at all?
