Home Economics One of the most intense programs offered at Augs- burg is in the Home Economics Department. The girls graduating with a degree in Home Ec are ex- pected to know every aspect of their subject and to have practical experience in most phases. One of the most demanding learning experiences provided by this department is called Home Management. Six jun- ior women plunge into the activities of managing a home—cooking, planning, shopping, and staying within a budget. A new instructor this year is Mrs. Kydd, taking the place of Ruth Sonsteng who is on a leave of absence for study in Europe. Mrs. Emma Kydd Miss Ruth Segolson.

No more squabbling over who gets to use the gym. The men will no longer pull rank over the women. We have three gym floors now. No more searching for some place to hold social functions, convoca- tions, and other activities. Plenty of room in the new gym. For twenty-six years Augsburg teams have been playing at the Armory. Now, the echoes of an Augsburg cheer resounding from the rafters of our new gym will be an inspiration to our team. During the transition from the old to the new gym physical education activities were held at Pillsbury Citizens Service, and at the reconverted National l ea.
