Homemalein epartment Fore' With The homemaking department was expanded this year with the addition of two new courses, Homemaking III and Senior Homemaking, and a third teacher, Mrs. Broncado. The older courses were structured much the same as those in previous years, but functioned under modular sched- uling. From the traditional classes of last year, emerged the independent study of this year. ln addition to scheduled class each student was required to spend at least one hour of free time per week in the department working on her pro- ject. Girls with ambition perfected skills in tailoring, foreign cookery, cake design, and intricate cookie shapes during this time or did -research into their individual problems. Homemaking III students were given only a completion date for their projects and were left to their own resources Having no specific assignment, each girl made a garment that she needed and which challenged her sewing ability. for completing them on time. Mrsjljaughefty, the depart- ment chaimian, was available for consultation and guidance, but did not feel the students needed continuous instruction. The second half of the year produced enticing aromas. As the Senior Homernakers learned basic cooking skills, and the third year homemakers polished their skills in yeast breads, meat preparation, and pastries, a wedding unit was covered in a couple of weeks. All three years spent time study- ing nutrition, housing, and crafts. For the third year the homemaking department opened its doors to the public for the Annual Winter Openhouse. I The three homemaking rooms were transformed with the addition of one display by each student and the deeoratibn of an aluminum tree. Tables were covered with center- pieces, wall hangings, seasonal aprons, and gingerbread houses. For a week in advance, cookies of all shapes and sizes were made and frozen in anticipation of the big day. When all the preparation was finished the students of the food preparation lab turned to the big problems of getting each kitchen spotless.
