Notes: So I went to undergraduate school at Emporia State University from around 1975 to 1978 and continued straight through to earn a Master's degree, Vocational Education, and K-12 post-graduate teaching certification. I picked Emporia basically because my boyfriend was going there. Not proud but it was iffy that I decided to go to college at all. I had a horrible high school experience which was embroiled in racial unrest. Reverse discrimination is a real thing and I resented the teachers who hid in their classrooms because they were afraid. I left after my junior year and went to KCK Community college biding time until I was old enough (18) to apply to Breech Academy, the training school for TWA Stewardesses. The Community College turned my view of education completely around. For the first time, I was challenged and fascinated by my classes. I earned 30 credits after my 2 semesters there. I had met my boyfriend the summer before who I later married after we both finished our Master's degrees in education. I bounced around in various majors starting in Political Science and ending in Home Economics. I needed a dress for a pageant, had no sewing machine so I enrolled in a clothing class. Great dress, new major. It was a good semester. In hindsight, it was a brilliant major. We were required to take classes in Interior Design, Clothing Design and pattern making, Nutrition and Foods (cooking). Many, many life skills I learned from that major. The end of the year High Tea was the annual occasion for the very secret recipe, Hydrox Cookie Dessert, given only to the 3 honor students each year along with a copy of the Joy of Cooking. If I am found murdered in the kitchen, look for Home Ec majors from Emporia since I have now published the recipe for this divine dessert. Google it...it's nowhere to be found.
