Found here are home freezer, electric dishwasher, clothes washer, drier, eve-level oven, and a beautiful dining area with a built-in brick planter. The department head, 'lane Davis, with the help of Frances Xvesterfield assists the girls in getting the most out ol' this excellent equipment. Girls who take home economics learn not only the fundamentals of cooking and sewing, but also acquire knowledge about shopping for food, planning and serving meals, caring lor home and children, and pre- senting a well ordered home. Thev learn the duties of a homemaker and how to fulfill these duties most elticientlv. These luckv girls have as part of their t'classroom a kitchen, sitting room, and dining area. These serve as a lnodel lor selecting a beautiful but practical luture home. The Home litonomics Department forms an im- portant IJLIII ol the school activities. It provides expert servit e at manv special events and in the spring puts on a lashion show. The departmenfs showcase in the hall alwavs has a timelv displav that is infor- mative and helpful to ev erv girl in school.
