And Receive Preparation For Things To Come The Homemaking department offers three courses. They are Home Living I, Homemak- ing l, and Everyday Living. A popular course is Home Living I which is an elective course for seventh grade girls. It is mainly an exploratory course covering every phase of homemaking briefly to create more interest in homemaking. This course pre- pares the seventh grade girls for ninth grade Homemaking I. Homemaking I is a course to develop home- making skills, both managerial and manual, in girls who wish to become good homemakers later and to become better adjusted as family members now. Girls learn and have fun in preparing family meals, modeling, and all phases of homemaking.
