Despite the increase in enroll- ment of almost 2,900 students, the Home Economics Depart- ment didn't have any difficulties accommodating the influx of students. Consumer Homemaking Edu- cation classes continued to inter- est students, these classes includ- ed sex education classes, parent- ing and child development. The main thing that seemed to keep students enrolled in these classes was pure interest as there were no required classes in the depart- ment, according to Kay Linber- ger department head. ln the parenting class, students actually worked with preschool- ers, this was a great experience for future parents. The students were interested in working with the three and five year olds. The students were also amazed with watching the abilit- ies of children of this age, said Maridel Anagnos Rebecca Bolt Karen Keagy - ' A W Kay Linberger N L Darlene Lupul ..,: li T 'K .llll lllll ff' 'ii 3 Donna Remus r --1.4 WJ..-4 ,tg Interest kee s tud nts enrolled Darlene Lupul, parenting and child development teacher. She said by watching and observing preschoolers, the students learned how to keep small children occupied. The preschoolers felt at home and were eager to participate in all activities, painting, outdoor play, seed planting, music, art and storytelling, said Mrs. Lu- pul. She said preschoolers seemed to get along well with the kid inside of every teenager. The children liked to talk with their student teachers and relate their experiences, said Mrs. Lu- pul. The department maintained enrollment because it had some- thing to offer that was of some benefit to students, commented Mrs. Linberger. A by Tracy Walter Photos by Darrin Coe Home Economics 103

ff' '91 , f A Wei ,.,, , WW ,,,,,,, ,f ff' 2 andate add to curri Due to a new state mandate, Tokay's California History and World Politics classes were dropped to accommodate econ- omic courses. The State Department of Education felt students had been lacking in this area, said Don Vogler, economics teacher. They looked at the complex society we're in and decided the students needed to graduate successful in economics. According to Mr. Vogler, the addition was a very big change for the Social Studies depart- ment. As a first time class, it was a great deal of experimentation- what to drop, keep, or add, said Mr. Vogler. So this year's senior class was really an experi- mental class. The economics classes were extremely academic, according to Mr. Vogler. ulum lt's not a hands-on type of class, we don't fill out check- books or play little games, said Mr. Vogler. We may incorpor- ate that later, but we're trying to get across academic Econ. While Mr. Vogler thought economics could be helpful, he also said the classes shouldn't be required. The top one-third, college- bound students would find it valuable, but I personally don't believe Econ should be required from every student graduating from Tokay High School. said Mr. Vogler. Though it is a worthwhile course for a number of seniors, according to Mr. Vogler a poll of the department would show that a majority of the teachers would prefer that the economic courses be incorporated into the other classes. by Helen Schorr 4- Jfffflng dvwn notes, Steve Bef' government teacher reviews pro- k0W'l1 Pfellafes 3 l2S50n f0l' hls postitions on November's ballot. government class. 5.
