L September, 1936 found nineteen bewildered Freshmen entering the Home Economic's Department of Martin College. They soon found that Home Economics consisted of more than dress making and cake baking. Under the supervision of Mrs. Walter B. Smith the courses of study included original designing, color harmon.y, dress construction, house designing and furnishing, budgeting, and house management, child care and training, ex- perimental cookery and meal planning. In each course individual projects were planned and carried out. One of the main projects of the department was the management of the tea room. This gave each girl of the Home Economics Class an opportunity to learn managing, buying, and selling. The class was hostess to several social occasions throughout the year. An exhibition was held the last week of school at which time the students displayed the products they had made during the year. Smocks, dresses, books, children's clothing, and numerous small articles were shown. The new equipment which has recently been added to the department includes two electric stoves and indirect lights. Page twenty-six l L l

F aculty Advisor The Student Council is an active, essential organization of Martin College. This group of girls, chosen by the students, forms the executive body of the student government. These girls are confronted with problems formerly faced only by the faculty and so they, and through them, the other students, come to understand the wisdom of rules, all of which are made for their ovvn protection. The purpose of the student government is to train each student to be a better citizen, to equip her to live with others in a co-operative spirit. She is made to feel the responsibility that is hers, she is impressed with the .importance of consideration for other people. Students under a government of their own learn to be self-reliant, dependable, trust-worthy. These qual- ities are undoubtedly requisites for successful living and so, surely, are invaluable lessons. .lfYlIIlIZJ'.IIllZl'Zal'.I'.IIIlI.fl'.lI.IIIIIIIII IfII'IllllllllllllllllllllafllnIEJ' X x 'Eg M Page tfwew ty-eight
