Mini-Courses Prove Popular
At Henderson Junior High
Something new, exciting
and different is happening at
Henderson Jr. High. Almost
every Friday at 2:15, the
students put away their
books, papers and pens and
pick up their golf clubs,
tennis rackets, needles and
thread, rods and reels, rakes
and hoes, paint brushes,
chess boards, dog leashes,
dancing shoes, decks of
cards, macrame, play script
or model rockets, Every
student is taking an enjoy
able mini - course of his
choice.
Members of the faculty,
staff, and community are
teaching a wide range of 35
different courses including
string art, dog care and
training, square dancing,
chess, quiltmaking, driver’s
ed, rhythm band, macrame,
fishing, outdoor survival,
golf, tennis, crafts, drama,
motorcycle safety, antiques,
bridge, piano, model rockets,
creweling, drawing, making
gifts, etiquette, decoupage,
and math games.
Enthusiasm has been so
great that some parents have
asked to take the courses. Dr.
William Mitchell, Virginia
Watkins, Greg O’Neal, Alice
Potts, Scott Coleman, Carol
Lawrence and Gail Parnellt
are community volunteers
who will be helping teach the
courses.
Mini - Courses were
initiated this year to take the
place of clubs which were
inactive last year. The
faculty feels that seventh and
eighth grade students are
living in an age of explora
tion and that students learn
by doing. The students
themselves were allowed to
suggest mini-courses and a
club committee consisting of
the following faculty mem
bers planned the mini -
courses: Clifford Lawson,
Edna Miller, Judy Skinner,
Velma Maddox, Willie Cash,
Kathy Morgan, and Mary
Frances Daniel.
A different slate of mini -
courses will be offered each
nine weeks which allows a
student to choose four
different courses a year.
Any parents wishing to
help with any of these mini -
courses, please contact Ron
Wade at 775-7261.
Mr. Wade would also like to
remind parents that the
Henderson Jr. High P.T.A.
meets the second Tuesday of
every month at 7:30. Dr.
William Mitchell is chair
man and Sam Johnson,
vice-chairman of P.T.A. Mrs.
Velma Maddox, Mrs. Cheryl
Lofton and Mrs. Shelby
Henderson are Steering
Committee members.

Creative
Cookery
By Eilene F. Milam
Covered dish dinners are
great. It makes everything so
much easier for the hostess,
plus it is a perfect situation
for collecting recipes. This
week’s recipes came from a
covered dish party this past
weekend. One is a delicious
barbeque sauce, good for
poultry, pork and beef; and
the other is a nutritious,
tasty, green bean casserole
and some different ingred
ients.
ZESTY BARBEQUE SAUCE
This recipe is a favorite of
Kathleen Fleischer’s. The
limeade gives it a unique
flavor.
>/ 4 cup butter or margarine
Ms cup limeade (undiluted)
4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cup catsup
>■4 cup honey
' z teaspoon ginger
2 tablesDoons brown sugar
dash cayenne pepper
Cook above ingredients for
15 minutes on medium heat.
Add 4 tablespoons lemon
juice, and cook for 5 more
minutes. Marinate the meat
in the sauce for better
results.
SWISS STRING BEANS
This casserole was made
from home-canned green
beans. Remember to cook
home-canned beans for at
least 20 minutes before
placing in another recipe, or
serving, to alleviate the
possibility of botulism. This
recipe comes from a friend
who is very concerned with
eating foods that are good for
your body. Linda Mason is
a very innovative, creative
cook.
4 cups green beans (1 lb.)
>2 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon honey
2 cups grated Swiss cheese
•> teaspoon salt
1 1 4 cups sesame seed meal
Combine cooked beans,
onions, flour and salt (coat
beans). Stir in yogurt and
honey. Put in a large
casserole dish and cover the
mixture with grated cheese;
then spread sesame meal
over cheese and dot with
butter. Bake at 325 degrees
for 25-30 minutes.
If you cannot find sesame
meal readily (although it
would be at almost any
health food store) you could
substitute dressing mix or
something similar for the
topping.

CORN HUSK DOLLS
Back in Style and Easy to Make
ATHENS—Corn husk
crafts are back in style.
Popular with colonial set
tlers in the 1700’s, they’re
now making the best-seller
lists in craft shops all over the
country.
Judging from the price
tags, you’d think the craft
required hours of skilled la
bor. Not so. In 15 minutes or
less, you can turn out a sim
ple corn husk doll—even if
you’re all thumbs.
Begin by gathering dried
corn. Take a drive in the
country, scout around for
corn fields, and ask the owner
for permission to pick. If
you’re stuck in the city, look
for a craft shop that special
izes in natural materials. Or
ask a vendor at the farmers’
market to bring a few ears on
his next run.
Allow one ear for each
doll, plus a few extras foi
trimmings. Find some string
and glue, and you’re all set.
Soak the ears in water to
make the leaves soft and pli
able. After a few minutes,
gently work the leaves back
to expose the corn. Then slice
off the corn and discard it.
The shucks, or husks, should
still be connected at the base
of the ear.
Work the shucks back to
their original position. To
make the doll’s head, tie
string tightly around the
