E POINTER-BEMUS POINT. N. Y. ???? IUNIOR Oh, our baby course is interesting It,s funny too, you bet. Izora and Perra brought to school A pink and blue layette. Joyce very nearly drowned, The baby in his bath, She did succeed in raising, ' Our poor little teacher's wrath. i Now Peggy, Midge and Vivian, Who always are so quiet, Soon learned how we should feed him And how to plan his diet. Now Verna, Joyce and Eunice, Oh, queer it truly seems, Are checking his bad habits, 'Till he haunts them in their dreams. Home Economics Class, Ins. OUR HOME ECONOMIC CLASS First, we enter and quietly sit down. Miss Wallace then enters with a frown, lzora, youire chewing your gum too fast Quick, in the basket and no sassg Peggy, we will have no giggling, And now you may start reading. Midge, wipe off that silly grin, Where, Peggy left off you begin. Now, Perra, as fast as you can sail, Down tothe cellar for the mop and pail. My other class is busy, making Their green and white cooking aprons. I knew you little girls wou1dn't mind, To do their dirty work this timef' Alas, we're ready for our coffins, As Miss Wallace does this often. -P. E. T.

28 THE POINTER-BEMUS POINT, N. Y. HOMEMAKING I 6' II HE girls of Homeniaking I started off the year canning tomatoes. All of them turned out but only three cans that were non-perish- able. However, three cans of tomatoes would go a long ways in this depres- sion. It was peculiar how Mr. Gerber just happened to come down the day we were making candy. And it was still more peculiar how he managed to find something wrong in the lock of the Homemaking door. But he went away as soon as he had received some candy. The boys thought the candy was a Christ- mas present because it disappeared from the cupboard all of a sudden and they didn't even thank us. We made a vegetable dinner a short time ago and stored up a few vita- mins. Also the girls have finished their caps and aprons. -V. T. HOME ECONOMICS V 6' VI At the start of the year Miss Wilbur started us ofi' with interior and ex- terior decorating. Then came the many periods of furniture and it almost put us to sleep counting them. Then Miss Wilbur hit upon a great idea and took the class to the furni- ture factory. There we learned more about furniture than any teacher could teach us. lt was so interesting in fact, that the girls hated to leave. Ctwas a blond.j Around Christmas that tell tale ring on Miss Wilburls finger signified her departure and Miss Wallace came to fill her place. At first our class had a little difficulty in getting along with her because she insisted on calling us alittle girls and uchildrenn but later refrained from this practice and called us just girls , Then came the BABY PROJECT and we were reciting milk formulas for weeks. Next the baby's hath, accomplished by means of a doll to go through the necessary motions. When the project is finished the girls should be able to successfully conduct themselves later. -P. E. T. We Seventh and Eighth Grade pupils are painfully laboring through an introductory course of Home Economics. Some of us have nearly mastered the art of holding the needle and correct manipulation of the thimble. Of course the older and wiser girls are trying to set a good example for us, but they are not succeeding very well, as long as Midge shoots baskets and Perra stops for a short talk or drink before and after each class. But just the same the tables are turning. Miss Wallace doesnit obligingly follow us to our room any longer. We are trying to set the other more brilliant class a fair example of several Angels taking, Home Economics. Before the year is completed it is hoped that the sewing machine can be conquered by the proteges of Miss Wallace's Home Economics Class. -R. E. M.
