Equality for All at the Stove and the Sink Home Economics is a spot of happiness and warmth in an otherwise cold, dreary, existence for both girls and even some liberated boys. No longer does the stereotype of girls in aprons slaving over hot stoves and a sinkful offilthy dishes dominate the scenery. The stereotype has gone the way of Tyrannosaurus Rex. In these changing times, even the most rugged football players can be seen cooking or practicing elegant needlepoint. At last, boys are equal to girls in menial tasks. :'1

The Foreign Language Program of Stoneham High School is moving toward a period of relative stability after three years of dynamic transformation. All of the programs have undergone complete changes in texts and other materials, so that in all the classes, the use of the language by students is the primary objective. Students are participating in many new culturally related activities, are doing readings in history and literature and are visiting museums, libraries, and other ethnic organizations. Perhaps the most radical innovation in the classes, however, is the attempt to integrate independent study units in the regular instructional programs.
