GLORIA MACK Washington State University B.A., Home Economics 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, Girls' Drill Team Advisor. HOME ECONOMICS . . . Student, Shl.7!Q7 Young, greets parents at annual Back to Schoolv night. Home Economics Benefits Future Homemakers Home Economics, usually thought of as cookin' and sewin' H class offers many phases of learning for to- days' high school girl, whether her future plans are for a profession, a business, or a homemaking career. Relationships, offered at all four levels, provide an opportunity to learn about people. Home design is a fascinating study of furniture, fabrics, and color adapt- able to family home or bachelor apartment. The study of clothing, a broad area including study of line, shape, color, proportion and fabric, offers students with differ- ent levels of ability an opportunity to work with fab- rics and patterns of varying degrees of difficulty. Grooming, usually taught in conjunction with cloth- ing, teaches cleanliness along with ideas and ways for girls to bring out their good features and natural, fresh beauty. In foods they study preparations, buying and preservation, all based on maximum nutritional value within the food budget. Child care and guidance from pre-natal and infant care to school age, is studied as an integral part of each unit as well as a separate unit. These are the basic areas concerned in the Home Economics program which also includes many other skills at some time during the four years. A girl desir- ous of knowing the basic essentials for Home Econom- ics, of learning the newest methods, of using the most modern equipment and thus gaining a foundation for a more profitable and satisfying future, should be en- couraged to take as much of the four-year Home Eco- nomics curriculum as she can.

Vehicles of English The art of writing, reading, speaking and listening cor- rectly are the primary vehicles within the English de- partment. The objective of these courses is to develop clarity of expression and communication in composi- tion. There are paramount concepts in the regular English class room and it is generally the literary con- tent that provides the material for composition. Within literature lies the substance that deals most closely with manis self-understanding and therefore the understanding of others. Four elective courses offer a variety and intensity that the regular English room teacher cannot hope to match. These courses include drama, journalism, a reading program and speech. KGREA T .. .
