Come A Long Way, Baby . . . You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby . . . Home Ec. Ever-Changin’ Once considered a class open mainly to girls. Home Ec. has come a long way ... especially at St. X. This year more and more guys took one of the four classes taught by Mrs. Wheeler. Offered to freshmen, or those with little or no do- mestic training, were Home Ec. I and Bachelor Living. Both courses started with an introduction in good groom- ing and clothing construc- tion. Second semester found these two classes cooking. Indian chappatis, French crepes, Pilaf, Enchalidas — not your everyday St. X. lunchroom food, right? Of course not; these were just a few of the foods prepared by the Intermediate Home Ec. class in their study of for- eign foods. Home Ec. II students learned time and money- saving tips in both the kitch- | en and in their wardrobe. ; They learned how to pre- t serve foods, manage money, : and sew a complete, plaid • outfit. Chris Mitchell actually eats his own cooking while Jerry Shiv- ley looks on hungrily, hoping for a nibble. Here Chris Hulett, Rodney Schmutz, Mike Sullivan, and Val El- Mary Farlow, Terry Mays, and Cathy liot group up to bake a masterpiece. Tomandl brew up some new concoc- tion.

Katy McGuire and Judy Morse are caught in a rare, quiet and sober moment. Father Frank looks over one of the term papers from his senior religion class. Ricky Timmons, Linda Repinec, Curtis Van Nan Nahmen and Judy Keating work hard to finish a paper in senior religion. Sister Mary's natural charm shows through as she poses for the camera- man. Junior and Senior religion students experienced a close encounter of the best kind this past year in Father Frank and Sister Mary's re- ligion classes. This close encounter was their personal relationship with Jesus. Using the Jesus Book, the New American Bible, and exploring the modern Church operations, students were able to get better acquainted with Jesus as their friend, God their Father, and the Church as their home. Sis- ter Mary and Father Frank's courses were designed to teach the student to be an active member of the Church who knows not only how to give but how to receive from its benefits.
