THE CHERADO-1924 Home Economics The Home Economics department of the Cheraw high school has been organized for the past two years. Though handicapped be- cause of the lack of equipment, the girls have done good work. The Domestic Art class had enrolled at the beginning of the year about twenty girls. In the present day of high prices it is essential that girls, who sooner or later assume the responsibilities of the home, should make a study of clothing, its care, cost, and construction. This group of girls has been taught all the fundamental processes in the art of designing and construction of suitable garments for a high school girl. The Domestic Science class had seventeen girls enrolled last Sep- tember, but the number has now dropped to fourteen. The selection, preparation, and source of foodstuffs has been studied. Because of the lack of equipment for the dining room, we have been unable to serve meals, however, menu planning has been studied. The one aim of the entire department has been to better equip the girls for the responsibilities of home making.

THE CHERADO-1924 Alumni Section Doylestown, Pa., April 12, 1924. Dear Students of the C. H. S.: Here I sit with pen uplifted wondering what would interest you most. It does not seem possible that a year has almost passed since We left Colorado, but through it all I did not forget the C. H. S. and feel proud of the record it made this year. I should like to be present at your Commencement exercises but my letter will have to be sufficient this time. We had a very nice trip to Pennsylvania. We were watching for the various land marks, changes in vegetation, historical places. and different characteristics of the people. We noticed the very black soil of Illinois, the swamps of Indiana, the marshes of Ohio which had been burning a few years before. We spent a short time on the battlefield of Gettysburg. We did not see great differences in the people until we crossed the mountains. Here we met the Pa Dutch. In fact there are very few who do not have the Dutch twang in their speech. We are living about 25 miles north of Philadelphia. The farms are small and the towns are only a mile or two apart. All main roads are either paved or water bound. Most of the people work in fac- tories. Every couple miles you find the Little Red School House. The state is making rapid' strides in improving her educational system. Some consolidated schools are being introduced. I am teaching in a little country school where the boys sit on one side and girls on the other. My first grade could not speak English until they entered school, but are getting along very nicely. My school will close the second of May, after which I will have a month vacation and then expect to attend a nine week's course at the Millers- ville State Normal. Wishing the greatest of success to the Seniors and a prosperous year to the C. H. S., Addio. ADA THUT. Rocky Ford, Colo., May 6, 1924. Class of '24, C. H. S.: Hello Everybody. I almost envy you folks because I know what you are going through, but I don't believe you realize what an- other year Will bring forth. . School days after all are like a lovely flower which blooms for a
