Domestic sciences looked to future Virginia Chapman Foods Humming- sewing machines, rattling pans and the aroma of freshly-cooked foods signaled that the home economics classes were busy. The domestic science department included clothing, foods, and family living'courses. Girls enrolled in clothing pro- duced many garments, ranging from simple gathered skirts to smoothly tailored suits. Foods classes learned about nutrition and cooking techniques. Dur- ing the Christmas season the girls held a tea for the students’ mothers and faculty members and served cookies, candies, and beverages which they had prepared. The vocational foods classes gained experience in buying, preparing, and serving foods in quantity by helping in the cafeteria. The family living classes studied the relation- ships of the family and society. They were instructed in plan- ning a formal wedding' and dec- orating the interior of the home. They also learned the funda- mentals of home economy. Edna Nelson arranges her sewing project in the display case.
