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.

Religion- Zke teaming About The 1981-82 freshman religion class is following their religion books and developing their knowl- edge and understanding of their religion. The basic idea of this year’s teaching is their call to reli- gion as a teenager. The sophomore religion class is studying the types of religion in our world. Students researched other religions and shared their findings with the class. They also took a trip to Chapman for their class retreat. Trying to explore the life of Je- sus and to develope a relationship with Him was the topic for this year’s junior class. They took a day long retreat in which they lived the mass by gathering, lis- tening, sharing the meal, and de- parting. Senior religion was a big step for the seniors. Father Frank pre- pared them mentally for society. They learned all about love for one another and the responsibility that comes with it. They had to establish guidelines which would help them seperate right from wrong. They also discussed premarital sex, marriage and the responsibil- ities, knowledge, and emotions that these situations bring. Father Frank taught them the church’s views on these matters and how their knowledge of religion cannot be seperated from any of these to- pics on any other things they face in life.
