It is here, facing this platform, that we meet once a week in our school assembly, the only time that we get together as a school body. Here we listen to words of wisdom from visiting speakers, our faculty, and even from our fellow students. Here, on this platform, many of us have had the painful opportunity of facing a super-critical audience, and of experiencing all the agony and embarrassment of an untried public speaker. Here the important announcements of the week are given: here we sing our school songs and practice our school yells. Here is engendered the enthusiasm that carries us through work and through sport, and that keeps strong and vital the school spirit of Washburn High. Of all the scenes the seniors carry away with them, none is more intimately associated with school days, and none will prove more lasting than that of the platform of McVicar Chapel. 29 W-. .... -.,.,,., ..,., ..,,..,.,.,,.,?..,,,,t..,.,,,..,.,.,,...?, ,W ...,,-,..,,,.,,...,,,.,,...,,,,,...,,.,-...,zZi,l ..L.s.-.Z.,.

ONE Economics, the general term that covers the study of all the problems connected with the home and family, offers a group of courses in the field of human activities in which the subject matter is not strictly limited. Its subdivisions are very general and, in XVashhuru High School, are listed under the terms food and nutrition, home man- agement, and textiles and clothing. Food and nutrition includes a wide study of food material with special reference to selection for health and food preparation. Home management is definitely a study in sanitation, a study in labor turnover, a study of applied psychology, as well as an intensive study of the economics of marketing as founded on the general field of economics of consumption. Clothing and textiles demands a lcnowleclge of the physical, hygienic, historic, and aesthetic factors involved in clothing, as well as the con- struction and utilization of clothing and textiles. Two years of food and nutrition. two years of clothing and textiles, and one year, preferably senior year, of home management, is offered to the girl who is majoring in Home Economics. 30
