DOMESTIC - ft SCIENC ,,, Home Economics -' NE department which has taken an important place in Junior 475 ' and always will, I suppose, is Home Economics. The girls en- joy this course, and it is good training. ,L Some of the irls have made aprons cookin outhts, under- ,o'x49.,,E,,. .1 un g , g garments, bags, kimonas, dresses, hats, and many other things. The girls are all very much interested in their work, especially those leaving for Soldan. They are busy making dresses, which is one of the re- quirements for getting there. Under Home Economics come three important divisions. These are sewing, cooking, and applied art. As art is discussed elsewhere, I shall only give it mention here. In cooking, which we have once a week for two periods, we do many things and prepare many articles of food. For instance, we di- vided ourselves into groups and elected a hostess, two guests, and a waitress for 3 make-believe luncheon. One group of girls made biscuits, and another group prepared meat. Then the waitresses served the luncheon. This proved a great success. The only difficulty was, the things were so good that the waitresses could not serve them fast enough. We have made and cooked many things among which are bread, cake, cookies, candy, salads, meat, vegetables and cereals. We also learned how to set the table and prepare menus. We will guarantee that any girl who is planning to choose this course will not only enjoy it but also learn a great deal about sewing and cooking. Katherine Geraghty and Betty Sheldon.

Miss Maus advised the boys in one of her music classes to hold on to the sweet ladies. I wish there were, but I guess there ain't A couple of girls that don't powder and paint. Mr. Milster is a keen umpire, but where did he get that cap? If any one in 216 becomes wobbly he can always fall back on Krutzsch. Who says we don't know any grammar? Don't mind him, he's using a hammer. Nouns, clauses, phrases and the like just don't daze us: In fact, they're so clear they amaze us. Lillian Qtrying to get a boy to pay up for his Year Booky : Bernard, you have only a little bit more to pay. Bernard: And a little bit is all I have. Say, Sibby Connelly, how many pounds did that hen weigh after you had fed her Eve years? Hugh Sexton of 306' has a fine scheme' for bringing down the H. C. L.

A few more pictures, banners and such Would give the Aud. a real high school touchf' When Billy Lund was asked if he would be a page in his group's aud. session, he replied, Oh, I can't be a whole page-just a paragraph. When Miss C. was asked what she meant when she told Billy that she wanted to hear him keep quiet, her reply was: Exactly what a music teach- er means when she tells a singing class that she wants to hear them sing a rest. Earnest Ernest Bashford Cto his Social Studies groupj: There isn't much time left now, so we'll just have to hit the high places to-day. Practical Arts tContinued from page 137D Many new group projects were undertaken by the Practical Arts Depart- ment this year, in which quantity production was made use of. Ten large voting booths, each having three voting compartments were constructed and used in the election at the school last November. The school bank was equipped with its cages by the classes in forge workg a large group of hurdles was made for the athletiodepartment. In every case the problem of design, operation and construction fell to the Prac- tical Arts Department. 140 aa. , A -K-A K
