HOME ECONOMICSDEPARTMBNT The freshman girls have made dresses, dirndle shirts, pinafores, and aprons. In our school we find that the girls are not doing men's work, but the boys are trying their skill at cooking. Gordon Meuse and Roland Jondro have been very successful in tossing the dough. The cooking class made fancy baskets containing candy for the faculty at Christmas time. The desserts which proved extra good were served to the teachers. The F. F. A. banquet,which was given on November 19, 1942, proved very successful. The junior and senior home economic classes have been taking home nursing. When Miss Brown was ill Mrs. Charles Hughes substituted for her. We were fortunate enough to procure Mrs. Elsa McGinley to demon- strate the care of a sick patient. Everdean Bean was the victim. Each girl in turn tried her skill at making a bed with a patient in it and practicing the different rubs at various places. The home economic department has done much for the Red Cross. The girls have made twenty-four nightgowns and twenty-two pairs of rompers. The juniors and seniors made red, white, and blue jerkins for the elementary basket ball team. E. Bean and N. Whitehill '45 ' AGRICULTURAL REPORT Last fall the agricultural group was glad to welcome a large class of freshmen. Under the agricultural instructor, Mr. Anderson, they successfully started the year's work. The first few days we stayed inside, but after getting used to the routine we went out into the shop to do farm machinery repair work. During the shopwork period six weeks, we took a few days off to visit .arms in the locality and got a little practice in judging livestock, wairy, and poultry. when we were thoroughly acquainted with the freshmen, some of these students wereyadmitted into the F. F. A. They were received with a hot and hearty initiation, which they enjoyed. A few days later the F. L. A. gathered six tons of scrap iron, and the money received was put in the F. F. A. treasury. We also went on a hay ride, each boy nviting a friend to go along. A little party was held at the Academy fterwards. When we went back into the classroom the latter part of November, we settled down to a long and arduous session through the winter months. we wrote up some job sheets and had oral reports. Some bulletins from the United States Department of Agriculture were very helpful in our course. , This spring we went out in the shop to repair some farm machinery in preparation for spring work.
