Home EC Students Have Fun While Learning ome Economics Classes included a variety of activities ranging from giving newborn babies baths to cooking crab meat teasers. There was something for everyone in at least one of the four Home EC. classes offered: Foods, Home EC. 1, Contemporary Living, and Child Care and Development. Home Ec. l consisted of learning the'basics of cooking and sewing. This class was required before students could go on to take other Home EC. classes. Trips to the grocery store, field trips lsuch as the tour of Hiland Dairyl, and experienced cooks such as Mrs. Joan Vienhage cooking for the class were what made Foods a fun learning experience. Extra things such as these were also a major part of Child Care and Development classes. The students held parties for St. Agnes pre- schoolers and learned to care for newborn babies. But Home EC. classes were not all fun and games.

Coed Classes Make Games More Fun hat is fun and keeps students healthy? It's the gym class that students took every day for a semester. Even though it was 1 fun, this year there was a difference. This difference was the ; fact that SCHS gym classes were now coed. Several students felt that this heightened the competition and made the games more fun. The classes learned the importance of exercise through the workout done in class before any game was played. When the weather was warm, students could be found playing flag football, soccer, ultimate frisbee, and softball. As the weather turned colder, students stayed in the gym and played basketball, volleyball, team handball, and wifiie bail. Gym classes also took place at the YMCA, Walnut Bowl, and Jenny Lind park. Another difference was the coach. Her name was Mary Martin and she did her best to present new and interesting games to the students. 1i Golfing at Jenny Lind Park, Louis Garcia and Mike Kovak practice their swing. 2i Andrea Ecklund and Julie Atwell practice some meth- ods of self-defense taught in their ?.E. class. 5i Missy Tasset is extremely happy after getting a strike at the Walnut Bowl where she went bowling with her ?.E. class. in Laura Gray lifts i , weights in the weight room to build the muscles , in her arms for basketball.
