STUDENTS UNITED IN MARRIAGE Modern Lifestyles is a senior elective that is broken into six main topics of study: (l)transactual analysis, (2)adolescence, maturity and adulthood, (3)values for dating, (4)marriage, (5)preparation for parenthood, and (6)aging and death. Students divide into study groups of two and become engaged, and plan a wedding, including the location, its date, the wedding party, the music to be used, the guest list, the bridal attire, the cost of the entire wedding and the plans for the honeymoon. After the wedding each couple must find a job and receives a paycheck each Monday, the beginning of a new month. Each month the couple must make car, furniture and house payments, plan a menu and buy groceries. Every month each couple receives a situation card in which they find out how they must cope with accidents, muggings, job promotions, winning money or having a baby. The course ends with preparation for burial and then death. (ABOVE RIGHT:) Janet Rightsell feeds her groom a piece of their wedding cake in Modern Lifestyles class.
