Miss Katherine F. Kearney Fashion and Design; Belmontian Fashion Design Miss Kearney checks a layout. Fashion and design is more than sewing on buttons; it is the whole world of design and clothing, right from choosing the right material and pattern to the making and wearing of it. “An original design and an original baby dress are two of your large projects this year.” “This material is scratchy and coarse; of course, it’s muslin not silk.” The sewing machine first seemed ominous to me, too, but just wait till you start using the bias binder or the button hole maker. Learning to match a plaid, or gathering a skirt all come in handy, for sewing is something that everybody needs. Can I borrow your scissors? Miriam joins in working on her original design. Margie and Irving stitch away. 22

Foods Department Marie measures while Claire mixes. Mrs. Marjorie Playstead Cooking; Belmontian The Foods Department planned many activities this year. Lunch was served to the Veterans, a Thanksgiving dinner was arranged for one faculty member who was chosen by the popular vote of each class, and a Christmas brunch was provided for all faculty members. On December third, a Betty Crocker exam was taken by all food classes. The person with the highest score in the state won a $5000 scholarship. At the end of the year everyone voted for the best cook at Belmont High, the winner receiving a trophy from the Crisco Oil Company. All these events combined into an exciting year. Bring to a boil and then simmer. A penny for your pie, Janet. 23
