H omemaking Girls and boys taking homemaking are taking out insurance in the future. They are insuring success in home life by knowing how a good home is managed. In the sewing labs, the girls learn how to sew everything from the most intricate suit dress to the simplest apron pattern. Boys are also taught to sew their own shirts and, what is more important, buttons on their clothes. Not only are students taught how to cook a good meal, but they are taught how to plan a well- balanced menu, correct table-setting, color schemes, table decorations, and how to shop for values. Even the boys learn that certain touch which makes a good cook even better. Here Ginger Carlton takes an appraising sip of a sauce Richard Pittsinger is cooking while Ralph Bullard mixes up his own concoction.
