Making Zke If you want to learn how to cook and sew, you take a home econom- ics class, right? Well, the state- ment is only half right. When you enroll in one of Mrs. Wheelers classes, you have to be prepared to work, and work is what this years classes have done. The freshmen girls were able to construct com- plicated clothing from a pattern, and the guys were able to sew vests. But they did more than sew. Both the freshmen guys and the girls were able to try their hand at cooking with the art of making chocolate chip cookies to a full meal. Mrs. Wheeler also had classes called intermediate home ec., LOYO, and home ec II. In each of these classes she taught the stu- dents how to sew and cook, but they learned in advanced steps. By the time you finish one of these classes, you should be able to sew designer jeans to a prom dress, and be able to create a seven course meal in the kitchen.
