HOMEMAKERS REJUVENATE CLINIC SUPPLY ATTENDANTS The clothing classes this year made utility bags for the army and slacks or shorts for themselves. The girls taking clothing 2 made slippers for the Red Cross and skirts and blouses, while the clothing 3 classes applied their needle work principles in making and embroidering women's bed jackets for Red Cross. They also knitted, crocheted, and pieced woolen blocks together for afghans. The clothing 4 classes applied their knowledge of tailoring by making men's bed jackets. They also made over men's old suits and coats into clothes for themselves. They learned a special method of shrinking new material and to appreciate the quality of materials used and made in 1943. They studied the War Production Conservation orders for the manufacture of clothing which made it possible to produce 15 per cent more garments out of the same yardage of cloth, and to tell the general restrictions made on all garments. They learned about the new fabrics which are being manufactured from synthetic fibers such as the soy bean which resembles wool. To prevent wasting material, they used materials having no right or wrong, up or down, sides. A definite program has been developed for consumer and retailer cooperation. All the cooking classes studied nutrition work and the plan- ning of rationed foods as a war time course. Studying home nursing and the care of children has prepared the girls for summer work of this nature. A decorating and furnishing project has been completed in the clinic, which has made it a pleasant place. In addition, the Red Cross Home Nursing course was taken by girls who have become attendants in the clinic giving necessary care to stu- dent patients. ICXAMINING completed Red Cross projects are Miss Florence XVells, Lois Kfvrbein, and Donna llurry. PRI-Il'ARlNG a tasty dish are Jacqueline Eckart, Joyce Gilles, and Albert Kile in a cooking class.

The students also designed an original puppet show for the creative assembly. They bought and decorated the Christmas tree which stood to the ceiling in the front hall, designed and painted Band Bounce scenery and entered the Woman's Club Art Exhibit. A first prize award of five dollars for her artistic interpre- tation of the Saginaw Market place in water colors was won by Miss Sally Howell and Miss Martha Fisher was awarded second place for her water color of the New Yorkharbor. Pat Church, only student to place in the contest, received honorable mention for her chalk drawing of a negro bell ringer. Craft students experimented with weaving, basketry, block printing, wood carving, and clay modeling. Pat Jackson presided over the Art Club with much of their time being spent on the pasting of scrap books which were sent to the U. S. O. centers. Material for these scrap books included jokes, cartoons, short stories, articles, and poetry, which was obtained through the English classes.
