' The Home Economics girls' dreams of moving into the new build- ing partially came true this year. Even though the living-room, bed- room and bath were not furnished, we were happy to occupy the lab- oratory with its 4 unit kitchens and increased facilities for clothing work. The good work done in the Home Economics classes was evidenced by the Christmas and Easter Fashion Shows, by the notebooks compiled on Textiles and Fabrics, Color, and on House Planning and Home Fur- nishings. ln order to gain a more complete knowledge of the business of Homemaking and living with people, the Home Economics girls ex- changed classes with the Agriculture boys for two weeks. The boys were given short units on Manners and Etiquette, Fundamentals in Cooking and Operation of the Sewing Machine, while the girls were instructed in the use of simple tools and woodworking. With the increasing number of girls interested in Home Econ- omics, the lovely new building is a necessity. Over a period of time, the classes will have the experience of selecting the furnishings and helping to equip it so as to provide expleriences as nearly like a home situation as possible. MRS.
