The subject matter is divided into live main areas, including: Food, Clothing, Grooming, Home Planning and Furnishing, and Family Relationships. In the first category mentioned, we attempt to solve the mysteries of a well balanced diet, and of menus that will tempt even the finest of epicureans. The study of clothing entails the teaching of a variety of sewing techniques, to make durable and stylish clothing of all types. The student is taught the basic fundamentals for good grooming, and the importance attached to creating a neat appearance in the Grooming course. Home planning and furnishing deals with exercis- ing the proper taste in choosing home and furnishings to ht one's needs and taste. Family Relationship speaks for itself, and is indeed a wonderful study for harmonious living. The department also in- cludes specialized courses in its plan, Among these are: classes in Vocational Beauty Culture, which enables the student to obtain desirable jobs during and upon completion of this courseg Tailoring, Interior Decorating, lVorkshop, and Chef's classes for boys. Both the Chefs classes for boys, and the lVorkshop, have proved to be very popular new additions to our constantly growing curriculum. Work- shop delves into unusual sewing techniques applied by more advanced students. Each year of Sewanhaka's twenty-five has seen us adding just that something new to our Home Economics program to make it more enjoyable and informative to the student body.
