Instructor for this class will be Mrs. Esther Wanieck who was responsible for re-opening the Opera House in the summer of 1959 after its doors had been closed for several years. The theater at that time was filled with dust and cobwebs hung from every corner and chan delier.

(J(!a±±xoom& "Bachelor Survival," "The Good Life," and "Human Relations" are some of the home economics courses now being offered to high school and college men as well as women across the country. Courses in foods and nutritipn seem to be the most popular areas of study for men, followed closely by family living and bachelor living courses, says Clareta Walker, University of Illinois Extension family living specialist. This< growing interest in home economics on the part of men seems to have resulted from their need to share family responsibilities or to live as a bachelor if they don't marry. But whether or not they marry, there will continue to be a need among men for more in formation on better buymanship and management of finances. Many young men are finding that what they want in the ready-to-wear market is not available at a price they can afford, and are turning to a needle and thread as an alternative. Courses offered in clothing and textiles teach the correct use of equipment and basic sewing tools as well as con- of artificial flowers prepared by Mrs. Tulumello and some of her Antioch high school students. They were given to each resident as symbolic of the coming of spring after a long, cold winter. struction of accessories and clothing articles, says Miss Walker. In the past, good grooming has been a much neglected subject in most educational curriculums. However, the motivational force behind learning good habits- pride in appearance - is strongly present among men as well as women. The hodge-podge of in formation concerning personal hygiene directed toward young people by the mass media has created a desire among many students to have a clear end honest presentation of the subject. And the best place to get this information is in the classroom. Finding and furnishing a home is one consumer en deavor that even the most practical-minded male often doesn't think about until faced with the problem. Courses in home furnishings can inform students about various aspects of housing such as financing a house (rent, mortgages, building costs), utilities (electric wiring, access to and draining of water, sewage disposal), and what to look for in construction as well as units in furnishings and decorating. Courses in household equipment are aimed at familiarizing young men and women with the purchase, use and care of commonly used utensils, cookware, and cleaning equipment, adds Miss Walker. i Many young men become aware erf career possibilities by enrolling in home economics courses. Various resource people from the community such as utility company representatives, architects, electricians, contractors, a p p l i a n c e r e p a i r m e n , salesmen, and the like, may be brought in to discuss their jobs and their relation to home economics.
