THE ADMINISTRATION Miss Seal The success of our careers is due chieliy to the well organized administration and teaching staff of our school. Mr. H. C. Muth, our Principal, came to us this year, he was no stranger to us, however, for he had been the principal of the Theodore Roosevelt junior High School for several years. Mr. Muth is much interested in all our activities- our careers, our play, our welfare. and our interests. Miss Bowman has been the Assist- ant Principal of our school since its organization: she knows each of us and is always in- terested in our well-being. To her we go with many of our problems and plansg she is always ready to help us. Miss Hornke, Miss Southam, and Miss Born in the general of- lice attend to questions of attendance, excuses for delays in reaching classes, bus tickets, and information about the school in general. To Miss Dagnan, our school nurse, we go when we return to school after an absence caused by illness and when during the school day we develop any of the aches and pains to which we are prone. She assists Dr. Quantlt, the school physician, in the examination of pupils to see that each is in condi- tion to pursue his school work. Miss Seal, our librarian, is always prepared with in- formation and advice about books and reading material. She supervises the ninth grade study periods in the library. The large staff of teachers and supervisors direct our class, home room, and extra- curricular activities.

Niiss Harriett johnson, Miss Hall, Mrs. Miss Evans, Miss XVhittle, Miss Lagerquist AN INTERESTING EPISODE-HOUSEHOLD ARTS VVestring ,fs VVe girls are very fortunate in having household arts as one of our subjects. The course consists of one simple course in sewing, the 7Bg one in cooking, the 7,-X1 and one in home management, SB. Although this is all that is required, those who are really in- terested continue in one or both of the divisions of the course by taking sewing or cook- ing in the eighth and ninth grades. In sewing, the 7B's have the joy of making the equipment they use in the foods class the second semester-a head hand, a pot holder, a bag, and an apron, In the course in home management, good manners, budgeting, and a hundred and one other things nec- essary to the successful management of a home are taught. The eighth grade sewing course is a special delight to those who want to indulge in the present craze for knitting. Here the girls knit for themselves sweaters, dresses, and suits. They learn to crochet. too. However, the real thrill for the young dressmaker comes in clothing I where she makes two cotton projects, and in clothing II where she makes one silk and one wool project. For the hostesses of the present and of the future the SA foods teaches the preparation of school lunches and dinners. In foods I the course continues with the prep- aration of breakfasts and lunches, going on, in foods II, with dinners and party special- ties. The grand climax to the course comes with a tea for our mothers in May. It is the aim of this department to give a foundation knowledge of all branches of home making. It is educationalg it is also very interesting and enjoyable. XYe are pre- paring ior the future, and we are profiting in the present.
