stylists . While men students learn the masculine tasks involved in aeronautics and mining, oil and grease, women students in the I-lame Economics department learn in a well-equipped homelike suite at roomsi a large living room with a fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen, an entrance hall, a lavatory, and a closet. Besides this group ot rooms there are the toads laboratory and clothing laboratory, This course especially provides a background ot fundamental training in several phases of home- making, such as cooking, sewing, entertaining, ancl home management, tor those taking a two-year Terminal, and tor those continuing upper division work in Home Economics in tour-year institutions, lt is hoped that in the very near tuture a nursery school with play room, nap, and observation room will be included in the department, Accommoda- tions tor sixteen to eighteen children from the ages ot two and one-halt to tive years will be made, thus giving the students training in child care along with the other practical aspects ot housekeeping. The clothing end ot the l-lome Economics course teaches such subjects as clothing constrution, pat- tern dratting, alteration, wardrobe planning, cos- tume design, history and appreciation ot costume, and textiles. This course aims to develop inde- pendence and originality in planning and choosing clothes. Costume design encourages creative art work in designing appropriate clothes 'tor various types ot individuals tor different occasions. One student, Sarshel Culton, has taken up a very special phase ot this costume designing-women's hats l-le not only designs hats, but makes them. Although this started as a hobby, he has now built it into a small but growing business. Besides the regular class work, outside jobs are brought to the students in the sewing laboratory, ln the picture at the bottom ot the page, Nancy Radslitf is concentrating on an alteration which she is making tor a costume used in the play, Ruther- tord and Sons, given by the Dramatic Art Depart- ment, ln the other picture Genette McKinnon and Nancy Radslitt are shown just before Christmas vacation making clothes tor some underprivileged dolls,

miners . The Army and Navy are not the only industries, it they may be called industries, to stand with open arms waiting for students to graduate from colleges and univer- sities. Mining is the second largest and one ot the most open fields in industry today. Alter graduation many students are able to go directly to work in the mines of western states, Those who graduate from universities may choose from a wide variety ot mining tields: mine supervision, assaying, smelting, milling, petroleum. lt you clidn't know there were tive hundred mineral specimens in the world, just ask one at those thirty mining majors who had to learn four hundred titty at them by sight and the blow-pipe method. That's no snap. Another one ot the rock-pounder's little chores is to work in a mine during summer vacation itor practical experiencei. The picture on the opposite page shows l-lazen Simplcins preparing assays in the Wet Assaying course. Professor Wi F. Dietrich is demonstrating the testing ot ore, in the picture above, to Albert Little. H

. foods Can she bake a cherry pie, Billy Boy, Billy Boy? Can she bake a cherry pie, charming Billy? . . . If she were majoring in l-lome Economics at Sac- ramento Junior College, she could, and a good one, too. With equipment that has been selected to illus- trate food types and price levels, the toads labora- tory has been divided into six separate kitchen units. Each stove in the little kitchens is a different kind, the sinks and work counters are of different heights and types. Learning to bake a cherry pie is an essential part ot homemaking, but cherry pie for soup, lemon pie for salad, chocolate pie tor meat, blackberry pie for vegetables, and apple pie for dessert would not make an approved balanced diet, so menu-planning and meal service are taught to relieve any similar situation. Composition ot toad, marketing, toad preservation, individual and tamily food require- ments, principals ot nutrition are not overlooked in the extensive program followed by the toads division of the l-lome Economics department. Sally Matlock lshown in both photographs at the right, does not believe that a watched pot never boils-to her a watched pot never boils over. At the lower right Sally Matlock reads, One cup flour, one cup milk, and so on down to the vanilla. Add this and stir gently, so she turns on the electric mixer, follows the recipe, applies the heat, and has a cake. 1 i ' ' it llv, l J Z it rr l M25 . me f .
