In contast to the traditional cooking and sewing courses of five years ago, homemaking has now developed into what is called vocational homemaking. Vocational hlomemaking includes such subjects as child-development, home furnishing, art ,applied to the home, clothing, f-oods, home nursing, correct foods for building the body and maintaining good health, consumer buying, and canning. The department offers three years of llomemaking, and 90 students are now enrolled, Many things have been accomplished by the home economics department. For example, many banquets are served at the soho-ol every year. During the winter, hot lunches were served to all who desired them, and this also is the work of the homemakers, Last summer tw-o girls from Bedford went to the state convention at Ames, These girls, Charlotte Kennedy and Vivian Hunter, were chosen on their merits of accomplishment in home projects. Q This fall a district conference was held at Corning, 80 attended from Bedford. Skits written ,at the state conference were put on by the attending schools.
