Home Ec
Has Speakers
The art of crewel embroidery
is something not many people
realize they can do. But, this
isn’t the case with Mrs.
McIntyre’s Home Economics H
classes now that they have
heard Mrs. Paul Honeycutt.
Mrs. Honeycutt demonstrated
the basic stitches of crewel
embroidery, November 20, and
got the students well on their
way to creating their own
designs and working on their
own kits.
Also a project of interest in
the Home Economics H classes
is religion. Father v.Anthony
Kovacic of the Catholic Church
and the Reverend W. B. Farmer
of Tabernacle United Methodist
Church spoke to the students

It’s That Time Again
Registration for courses m
the third quarter of the new
English curriculum began three
weeks ago. Thirty-six courses
were on the list, with
independent study offered for
seniors only.
The procedure for narrowing
down the courses was to be the
same; however, the first
registration was sufficient to
decide subjects to be offered.
For the third quarter, twenty
different subject areas will be
taught, whereas only twelve
wereoffered the second quarter.
All courses will include reading,
speaking, writing, and listen
ing.
So far the teachers agree the
new curriculum is going well,
and they hope the program will
continue to be a success. The
teachers feel they are working
harder and, worrying more.
According to Mrs. Gamewell,
head of the English department,
the type of program the
students have been involved in
for the past ten years is not as
successful as the new English at
our high school. Mrs. Gamewell
explained that the new program
is a better method to reach the
student and bring out his
abilities.
She added that since many
colleges are also implementing
this type program, the new
English will be more beneficial
to students than the old
program.
So far, no complaints have
been registered, and everyone,
especially teachers seem to be
enthusiastic.
It was thought that mixing
sophomores, juniors, and sen
iors in the same classes could
cause a few difficulties, but, as
of yet, the mixture has made
little difference in the attitudes
of students.
