HOM ECONOMICS Great improvements have been made in our Home Economics Wlab.H this year. The walls of the main Wlab.n have been freshly painted and this has added much to the brightness and cheerfulness of the room. Part of our dream for the nlab.H has come true in that we have ac- quired one of the four unit kitchens which will eventually take the place of the old, hollow, square arrangement. We are very proud of our kitchen with its new gas range, spacious cupboards, and drawer space. We even have a new mix-master, which we earned ourselves by making and selling candy and Christmas cakes before the Christmas vacation. When the Board came for their Annual Meeting we had the fun of pre- paring and serving tea for them. We also have a new, special reference room, well supplied with books and the necessary equipment. We have accomplished much in this past year. We have learned sewing, nutrition, physiology, interior decoration, home administration, home nursing, and many other things. We are very proud of the suits, dresses, and coats that we have made as well as our needle work. No one regrets graduating more than we Home Economic students do. Our year here at Alma, with Miss Kerr guiding us so patiently, is one we shall never forget. Hulda Miller. CRAFTS This year the Crafts Department has surpassed all the work done in former years. The students have taken a great interest in this study, and it has proven one of the most popular at Alma. Suede gloves and belts, pewter and copper bracelets, buckles, brooches, buttons and clips are worn as smart accessories made by the girls themselves under the able tutoring of Miss Clements. Other subjects may not live in the memory of graduates, but when they are reminiscing, the days spent in the craft room will stand out as ones they enjoyed greatly during their stay at Alma.
