Kifmon's CDE shores fluffy critters CDE-ers helped fill the Xmas stockings of far-from-home exchange students with their donation of two poly-fluff elephants. Poly-fluff animals, the distributive educational clubs' money-making project, were successful and original fund-raising ideas. In October, Mr. Kitman, president Debbie Fowler and treasurer Debbie Ezell at- tended the Officers' Training Conference in Miami. For outside fun, members attended a special luncheon and toured Lakeland training facilities for Publix employees and new store managers. DECA day at the University of South Florida provided an in- troduction to the many mar- keting skills needed for later competition in the field. CDE's fiscal year ended with the annual Employer- Employee Banquet at Cause- way Inn on March 27. Bottom Row: Karen Park, Debbie Fowler, Debbie Ezell.

Gourmet Grover Long cooks a spinach souffle in bachelor living. Home Ec arranges mock wedding While Carolyn Bishop and Isaac Chucran became Hman and wife in Modern Family Living's simulated wedding, most boys in home economics courses anticipated the bachelor life. In MFL, students learned about selecting merchandise for the home, credit buying, and procedures of banking - as well as going through the motions of a marriage cere- mony lcomplete with cakel. Bachelor living, however, prepared the boys to be self-g sufficient housekeepers even without the helping influence of wives or mothers. Learning other home- making skills, sewing classes chose fabrics and patterns to make their own clothesg food and nutrition students bought and prepared foods for balanced, appetizing meals. Carolyn Bishop and Isaac Chucran marry in MFL's simulated wedding. Elease Simmons, Glenda Stokes, and Renee Jackson give directions while Brenda Jones attempts a French seam for her first sewing assignment.
