HOME ECONOMICS Conservation and Traiinng for Service has been the underlying principle of the Senior Class in Home Eco- nomics. The class has taken its senior year very seriously and each girl has earnestly tried to fit herself for serv- ice during this next war year. The latest news from the €amps is: Eat 1919 Christmas dinner in the U. S. A. The class, while not planning for that dinner, neverthe- less, are hoping for it and they surely could cook it. The year ' s work has been along lines that gave the class its principle. Government bulletins on food conser- vation and substitutes have largely replaced text books. Many demonsrated lectures have been given by the 1918 students before the class and the Tuesday and Eight Weeks clubs. Special study has been given to the pro- fessional demonstrations by the head of the department, and by state, and county demonstrators. All this has kept us in close touch with government work. The girls are planning to make use of this in their teaching courses and in demonstration work, that some have intended to do this summer. The class expects to serve in the way most emphasized, for women, by the government, and by Mr. Hoover. , The sewing class was slightly modified to meet war conditions ; some time being spent knitting, like many organizations during this pas t year, the economics depart- ment has been privileged to make a Service Flag, and also the Stars and Stripes, both of which hang in Voorhees Chapel, and while a constant reminder of our own boys who have gone, also gives us some thing definite to work for on the hill . The class has conserved along other lines. The graduation dresses are to be white Hoover uniforms. All entertaining was dispensed with, except a dinner party for the college seniors. Very simple graduation exercises are being planned. They are to be of an informal nature and to be given in the afternoon on Baldwin lawn. The 1918 class has organized a Home Economics Association. It is primarily for the discussion and study of subjects related to the department. Since it is made up of the best talent of both societies, and has a definite aim, much good will be realized. It will supply a long felt need of the department. 30
