The Home Economics Department provides excellent means for girls to prepare themselves for effective family life. lt offers many oppor- tunities for the girls showing interest in home- making. The department has been supplied with much new equipment, and an additional teacher has been employed this year. The girls learn household skills which will help them to be hap- pier and more successful as homemakers. In cooking the girls acquire practical knowledge and experience as they learn to select and pre- pare foods attractively and with no waste. Sew- ing also is a phase of home economics which is beneficial to the girls. It gives them experience in buying textiles and sewing them together into garments with effective color schemes. Nur- sery school, another phase, gives the girls a better understanding of young children and gives the girls training in child care and management. A girl is greatly helped to develop good character and an attractive personality as she learns the many different aspects of creating a fine home environment. Through the study of homemak- ing, the girls find better living and develop an understanding of efficient nutrition and of the satisfying human relations which make the home. A broad background is offered to develop self- reliance in meeting daily-life problems. Many girls of Indiana High School welcome and take advantage of the many opportunities that the Home Economics Department offers.
