Look what's cookin'!

fif/^ la s s , today we’re going to have a guest Working overtime. To finish a project in Clothing II sometimes requires using extra time during a
free period Junior Debbie Keavy chose to make a skirt in her clothing class.
^sp e a ke r.
She’s Cheryl Evert, and she is a 1976 graduate. She
has just been chosen for the cover of Fashion mag­
azine. Even though she has a busy schedule, she
said she would be happy to speak to you.”
“ Hi, I’m Cheryl. It’s really nice to be here. I would
just like to tell you how much Home Economics has
helped me with my career and how it can help you,
too.
In Foods I and III was taught how important it is to
eat nutritiously. These courses taught me the kinds
of foods and how much I could eat. Eating the right
things such as meat, fruits, and vegetables have
helped me stay trim.'
Clothing I and II also helped me with my career as

a model. I learned how to make so many different
styles of clothing like jackets, skirts, dresses, pants,
and blouses. My agent loves the clothes that I make.
It saves a lot of money to make your own clothes.
When I took Home Management, I never knew it
would help me so much when I moved out of my
parent’s home and into an apartment. This class has
helped me select a good, comfortable apartment
that I can afford. It also made me aware of what sort
of bills I would have to pay and how to buy the right
furnishings.
So you see, these classes can be a tremendous
learning experience as well as fun. By taking these
classes you can perhaps be in a fashion show, start
your own restaurant, or make a great housewife.
Thank-you for your time. I hope you have learned
a few things and remember, Home Economics can
be beneficial to everyone.”
