Because the new home economics wing was not yet completed, ho- memaking classes were held in a temporary room in the gymnasium. The foods and nutrition section usu- ally included in homemaking courses was not offered because of lack of facilities, but excellent instruction in the areas of clothing, home improve- ment, home management, and self improvement provided variety for in- terested girls. Brenda Shephard, Carol Orbison, and Linda Drury use the Commons to do their homework for home economics.
