Music has an important place in our school curriculum, too. Students interested in singing joined the choral classes, while others learned to play instruments in the band and orchestra classes. Advanced courses in music were offered to students who were planning to continue their study outside of school. HOMEMAKING Girls in the home economics department were training for futures as homemakers by learn- ing sewing, cooking, meal planning, child care, interior decorating, and other arts of the home. The classes in this department enable girls to find places in fields such as dietetics and dress- making. Girls in the food classes served and prepared meals for many banquets and ac- tivities.
