 i- Practical -Application | If one were to walk Into any home economics or industrial arts classroom, he would easily see that the class is not a typical one. In this classroom setting, the students are usually free to wander around independently whether it be to sew a dress, bake a cake, draft plans for a house, or construct a chair. And if there is no buzz of activity, students are often engaged in class discussions of topics ranging from money management to the role of parents in influencing their children. Regardless of the particular activity, all the home economics and industrial arts classes together have a common goal: to provide each student with practical knowledge for being a responsible and successful community member. Not many students after graduation from high school are skilled in consumer buying, meal planning and preparation, or seam stitching. Nor are they prepared to handle personal finances, select and decorate an apartment, or begin planning for a family. It is for these needs that the various classes in these two departments were developed. Needing tome drafting advice, Assistant Principal Ben Pierce seeks help from Mr Richard Hoskins Mrs Sharon Johnson keeps an eye on her home economics class while she helps Mary Jo Elfotd complete her project Industrial Arts.
