Qfomeg ' Because of the many slippers and afghans made by the home economics department, a good share of the servicemen 'are more comfortably happy. This year the classes are specializing in making supplies for the Red Cross. In the sew- ing classes, girls receive instruction in the ele- mentary mechanics of both hand and machine sewing, and they are also taught the good selec- tion and care of clothes. E Practical knowledge of all food principles, canning and planning, preparing and serving meals make up the busy round of the cooking section of home economics. Artistic arrange- ment of the table and the duties of a hostess are both stressed. From these classes, a girl may receive the knowledge of household affairs which will en- able her to perform her-duties as housekeeper with intelligence and interest which will make for the health and happiness of her family.

addenda! With a low supply of materials for the con- struction of many projects of the Industrial Arts department, smaller projects have been undertaken this year. Scrap materials have furnished the needed raw equipment for these projects. Critical War materials were restricted for the use of the de- partment in most cases, and substitutions had to be made. Once again, necessity proved to be the mother of invention, and the work of the department went on with almost the usual full time schedule of projects. Among the post war plans of the Industrial Arts department are the enlarging of the whole set-up and the inclusion of courses for girls as Well as boys. ln the area of homemaking, girls will find elementary knowledge of shop useful when a drawer refuses to budge or the cupboard door sticks stubbornly.
