W THE HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT Last summer during the vacation the old coal bin and play room in the girls' basement was renovated and made into a cafeteria and foods laboratory. With this delightful improvement in the department, the students have taken a renewed and invigorated interest in their work. Many pleasures are derived while working in the bright homelike atmosphere of the new kitchen. Here a study of food--its selection, preparation, and serving--of good manners and courtesy, and planning for special occasions are made. Often,as a review lesson,a complete breakfast or luncheon is planned, prepared, and served, each class member sharing in the responsibilities as well as in the pleasures. Occasionally the department is asked to serve at some particular function. When asked to serve a tea, the students prepare dainty sandwiches, cakes, or cookies, arrange an attractive table, and serve the guests. It is considered quite a privilege if allowed to pour. Esmee Clark, Ruth Gubler, Blanche Allen, Christine Grandolfi, Fannie D'Angelo, Edith Frischmann, and others have often assisted on such occasions. In the clothing classes the enthusiasm runs high. The girls thoroughly enjoy planning and making some of their own clothes. While instruction goes on, a study of colors, textiles, appropriateness of dress and style for each individual is emphasized. Aprons and pot holders are made in the fifth grade, while silk or wool dresses and good looking little suits are made by the high school groups. Often one of these has to be finished rather quickly for a school party or dance. Some time during the spring term each year the department has a clothing exhibit. At this time the students from all classes bring back the various articles of cloth- ing which they hav made during the year Sometimes tea is served We appreciated the enthusiasm and interest displayed at last year's exhibit The eighth grade girls featured a very lovely and interesting display of party dresses as an assembly program last June As each dress, worn by the maker, was shown Lois Ban'ster read points of interest relat4ng to the color, design, and cost of each Eleanor Immediate accompanied at the piano Our interest lies not only in the study of foods and clothing but also in other phases of home management, interlor decoration, chfld care, family relationships, and finances Budgeting or the 'spending of money,' an important factor to all, has been inv stipated and discussed, especially in its relation to the girls themselves as a benefit now and in preparing for the future In one course a study of the high school v1rl's clothing budget is made and the effect on one of the proper choice of clothes, general appearance, speech, personality and social acceptability are all considered in a helpful and concrete way The impor tance of grooming is constantly brought to the foreground when the occasion demands Cons ructive criticism from within the group itself often pzoves most beneficial The many suggestions of self improvement may help in acquiring more pleasing person alities The cafeteria is supervised and directed by Miss Halsted, assisted by Mrs Kaercher, Blanche Allen and Christine Grandolfi are student assistants Lurches are served at a minimum cost, a well balanced lunch may be obtained for eighteen or twenty cents Fift to one hundred students are served dail Man students have enjoyed on rainy days the Home Economics pleasant Color The curtains, more cheerful one The cafeteria has been of serv ce to several different organ zations the Parent Teacher Association, the Girls' Basketball Team, ana the Faculty Many teachers eat their lunches at the tables in the oods laboratory which is called 'The Nook ' Our hope is for the continued success of the Home Economics Departnent in the years to cone Y Y 7 the benefit of this new cafeteria and have been especially grateful even though it occasionally becomes overcrowded Early in the fall IV and V classes considered ,lans for making the new cafeteria more schemes were sug ested, and finally curtain material was purchased which vere then made by the irls, transformed the room into a much 11 if K i V 'n Q, TF in Keg N'-K' J 'II --'lr' t L' , ff 'nf ry s Q' llHj::-GRE!! r' Q a'f' iitcfr 5 e e 0 .
