45 Three co-ed courses taught by lvis. Alvena Ftotramel, included such activi- ties as cooking, sewing and mak- ing individual projects. One of the new additions to the Homemaking depart- ment is Single Survival, formerly known as Bachelor Living. Ironing, sewing, housekeeping and learning how to keep a budget kept students busy. Amid the first-try failure and laugh- ter, students in aprons and chef hats cooked their chosen dishes. Students also found that having their choice between the different courses was more beneficial in what they actually wanted to learn. Single Survival, Home Economics, and Food for Singles, are all basic fun- damentals for the young home- maker. 1.

VT: Think Arrf Think - A real artist's shovvcase evolved under the guidance of first quarter Art teacher, David Nolen. Display areas for batiks, album covers and paintings novv hang fron walls and ceilings in the alcove near the door to the office. It seems more like having your work in a gal- lery, said one student whose vvork was often exhib- ited, Hbut I sure didn't know hovv hard it was to hang displays from the ceilings. Art is a means of express- ing myself in a vvay that I really enjoy, and at Westlake have a chance to be creative, experiment and improve my vvork, says another Westlake artist 2 525, 'fi l .Cv , ! f' ' Sot ,, , 1.

46 District Meets Here Whether the Student Council was giving a dance after a Friday night football game or host- ing the annual 23AA district workshop, members demonstrated determination and pride and a will to serve the school their best. Projects undertaken throughout the year included the Christmas drive, clocks for the stair- wells, hosting a Parliamentary Procedure work- shop, and plans for an even more exciting West- ern Day. The council also was responsible for planning the Homecoming festivities and Fanta- sia. Sponsor Eric Schultz feels that council efforts to raise money this year were an enormous suc- cess. For the first time, he says, we had a surplus of money and fewer projects. Schultz felt that the council's main handicap was learning to cope with a new administrator. Our main goals were to promote better relations between the administration and student body. Our goal was accomplished, too. In time, the administration didn't hesitate to call on us if they had a problem. Student Council president Barney Bigham would liked to have seen more student coopera- tion with the council. - Barbara lngrum and Steve Ellis
