eaignerzi I The home economics department of Lind- say High provides a well rounded program for the future homemakers of our school The program includes sewing, cooking, preparing meals, a study of family life, and how to use the new kitchen appliances that are on the market. The beginning classes under the direc- tion of Mrs. Minor, try their ability at sew- ing during the first semester, They start with something simple such as a gathered skirt, and end up with a dress or an article equally difficult. The second semester is occupied with learning to cook. An important phase of this is learning how to use left-overs. Mrs, Brown is in charge of the advanced homemaking classes which follow the same pattern in reverse as the beginners, except for more difficult work, l-lomemaking is an important part of every girls education. lt provides her not only with the knowledge of how to run a home smoothly, but also with confidence that she can do it successfully Top: Margaret, Linda Cowger and Linda Fox were three of the cooks in homemaking.
