Sweet aromas and planning budgets make school Home Away From Home Iclicia Bunting Stall tudents walked into the halls and smelled a sweet aroma of food that almost swept them off of their feet. Many followed the aroma into the class- room of sewing machines, textbooks, and kitchen appliances to take a Home Economics class. Home Ec. I 84 Il are the classes where students learn to cook like dear ole! mom. This consumer education class prepares students for the future by teaching them household skills. I want to learn to cook and to design clothes,' I Rhonda Hansberry said. Foods and Nutrition is designed to help you learn about nutrition, how to plan meals, and to prepare a variety of foods. In Textiles and Clothing students study pattern de- signs and sew. I really enjoy Textiles and Clothing. Mrs. Boone is a great teacher and she made me feel very confi- dent about myself and my ability while making my very first outfit. lt's fun and you learn a lot, Lynette Linsey said. Interpersonal Relation- ship shows the impor- tance of being a part of a family. Parenting shows the importance of being a mother, father, and others in the development of a child. Housing is to keep up the house by cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, and just doing household chores. Family Finance teaches people how to budget their money, plan budgets, pay bills, and use money wisely. Future Homemakers of America is a organization made up of mostly Home Ec. students. They have 63 members who presented a movie called Shades, and a fashion show. Ronnie Wallace, Kevin Hinton, and Bryon jones are getting it together by pinning the material they need to sew for an outfit. J v trim? X.

The Good and the Badg We all share in the pi ' C C ' 7 7 P1ece of the 1 C l' ' llvr Staff ooner or later it is bound to kick in. The math-aholics of today are a sure result of the Pi Syndrome . Symptoms are: 'I5 repetition of 3.14 25 having the urge to divide everything 35 seeing the symbol H everywhere 45 feeling the need to add and subtract all the numbers on the speed limit signs 55 wanting to multiply all of the test scores by 100 65 substituting the letters D and F with A and B Some students feel that they will never need the arithmetic that they have learned. I think I already know fmath5, but I'm just taking this for a credit. It's not go- ing to do me any good, Larry Steliban said. There are more stu- dents that feel their math- ematical needs are being met. In just about every area of business, arithme- tic is going to be needed. The Business Math class offered helps to prepare students for this area of careers. I think it will help me to make good financial de- cisions. I believe it can give you an edge over the mi- nority population, It will help me reduce the chances of me making a business mistake. Balanc- ing a check properly will be easier to do, Terry Piggee said. The challenge of arith- metic intrigues some 74 Academics while it baffles others. There are students that thrive on mathematical equations. It truly inspires them to figure out prob- lems. Without these peo- ple near-impossible prob- lems would never have an- swers. I look at math as a chal- lenge. I plan to go to col- lege and major in Engi- neering. This math will re- ally help me and it keeps me from wasting a year, Norman Dunn said. All of the math students share' one thing in com- mon. In one way or anoth- er they help or hurt others around them. Helping by encouraging them to take on challengesg hurting by diminishing the will to study. It is a sad, but true fact. For the most part, helping is prevalent.
