eedles and oodles The Home Living course was elected by forty-six girls. Under Mrs. Janet Twitchell, they study foods and nutrition, clothing and textiles, child care, home furnishings, per- sonal and home management. Each topic is developed more tully in successive grades. Four kitchen units provide plenty of space for practice in the study of foods. At Christmas, gift boxes of cookies made by the girls were given to Dr. Nelson, Dr. Jenkins, the office and cafeteria staffs, and the custodians. Six machines are available for sewing. Freshmen work with cottons, sophomores with woolens. Juniors and Seniors made the lined, traverse draperies for the Home Ec suite. The girls prepare for the future by studying the care of children. They learn everything from behavior patterns to the duties of parenthood. The pupils are taught how to get along with family, friends, and other people. Home furnishings and management were co-ordinated. The students designed the living and dining suite. Shopping in small groups after school, they bought the kitchen tables and chairs, and dining room furniture. This suite is a show place as well as being practical for first-hand experience and for informal discussions. To help them in decor, the girls visited Winterthur and had outside speakers. An open house was held at Christmas with the faculty members as guests. Special decorations were made for the suite, and punch and cookies were served. Home Ec girls serve home-made punch and cookies at the Christmas Faculty Open House. Home Ec students appreciate culinary achievements. tl
