Members of the se-wing rlass work industriously to muster thx- fundamental sewing skills. We Prepare o Be Tomorrow 's Homemakers The aim of every future honieniaker is to manage a home ellis-iently. 'l'ho varied courses in the Jeff llonlclnaking l,t'lJkll'ltllPlllL will aid students in reach- ing this goal. Have- you ever marveled at the llully softness of your mother's lemon lI1lfl'lIlgl1t! pie? You too, with pl'a4'tire. can duplicate your molher's halting skills. Under the supervision of Mrs. Horner in Foods l, or Miss l'ureifull in Foods II and III. you too will learn these teclmiques plus tips on tahle decorating and placement of dishes and silver. Children no longer prove a nuisance when their point of view is understood. This is shown through the study of vhilflren in the Home Nursing Course taught hy Miss Grishaw. Red Cross training, princi- ples of first aid. and care of vonvaleseents are also included in this C0llI'Sl'. Sewing: classes, under the direction of Mrs. Horn- er and Miss Grishaw, help the girls become zu'- quainted with the up-to-date fashions through four different courses. Sewing can he so much fun. and it is economical too, if one knows how to sew. Page 24 .lutly Tliayer. Sue llurtlin, and l'auletIe Sehrum so-em In In enjoying their sc-lf-prepared meal.
