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.

Here Mike Sullivan, Jim Keating, Eric Spittles and Pat Herron look over their graded papers. Wonder! That's what freshmen and sophomores started their first day of English with. That wonder turned into amazement as they met their new teacher, Mrs. Schaffer, who taught two freshmen and two sopho- more classes. Freshmen and sophomores started the school year with literature. When the fresh- men read the story of Helen Keller, their creative teach- er took the class outdoors blindfolded, and let them ex- perience blindness. Both classes rotated lit- erature with grammer. The 1st and 3rd quarter they studied literature, and the 2nd and 4th they studied grammar. Mrs. Schaffer had both classes finishing up the year by reviewing and preparing for finals. English student Pete Baez leans back and takes a break dining English. Mrs. Schaffer, besides teaching four English classes, also had a study hall. Scott Pollock finds this a great time to discuss his English. Tina Trygg, Elaine Mike, Lynn Griffin and Judy Morse work very
