,Hg ,Me Gm... .ew ..,,,,.. Wedding bells chime for blushing student 'brides' Nl now pronounce you man and wife and so married life began. It had been a most unlikely place for a wedding, but it had been complete with a bride, groom, a minister, and guests. Soon child- care and divorce would enter the picture. Sound like someone's typical marriage? Actually, it was a typical year in the Home and Family Living Classes. This class attempted to teach its students about the responsibilities and problems of living in an adult world through its various projects. These projects encompassed many things including the preparation and execution of a wedding complete with all the trimmings. Other areas of adulthood were also explored in the class. The students activi- ties included the procedure of divorce, childcare, and personality studies. Another course offered under this pro- gram was Home Economics. This course dealt with the more traditional side of Home Ec. such as cooking, sewing, nutri- tion, and interior design. Traditional also seemed to describe the business department. With its aww.. wide variety of courses such as typin shorthand, accounting, and notetakin this department was a popular one. Tl classes attracted a variety of peop because of the usability of the skil taught. Academic students took the cour: to help prepare for college term paper Other students used the skills gained in tl courses for future careers. Whatever the student's reason for joi ing the class, there seemed to be differei opinions on the class. l didn't like tl class because I'm not very good at typin but l guess l learned something and l ci type better than when l started, said Mal Ellen Vetters expressing her views on ty ing. , ln other areas of business, the studeri seemed to feel a benefit from the cours As Carla Chernesky put it, I feel it help me a great deal in the future. l Kim Wallat Surveying a basket of goodies, Denise Hernandl Dana Stevens, and Kathlyn Brown attend the orie tion sponsored by the Home Economics departmg The department hoped to attract some new studer through it.
