THE REFLECTOR V 21 HOME ECONOMICS Home Economics was introduced into Caribou High for the first time this year. The enrollment was much larger than could be taken care of, even though the department is an exceptionally large one and is equipped to accommodate twenty-four students in a class. All courses offered this year have been based on elementary Home Economics work, the students having had no previous work of this kind. Units of Work that have been offered are: Community and Personal Hygiene, Foods, Clothing and Home Planning and Dec- oration. In the Home Planning and Furnishing units the girls selected a house plan, suitable for a family of five living on a moderate income, and furnished the house room by room. In this unit they studied the refinishing of furniture and painted two breakfast sets. One set in ivory and coral rose, using stencils on the chair backs, they kept for use in the foods laboratory. In the clothing work all classes have studied elementary selec- tion, construction, and cleaning of garments. The Senior High classes also included a brief study of costume designing, using the gradua- tion week pageant as a problem. With only two weeks of foods work training the Senior High groups were able to entertain the Rotarians at a dinner served at the school. During this unit they gave a candy sale and a food sale, using the proceeds to buy rose and white breakfast linen, silver, and dishes with a floral rose design, to be used on the breakfast table for the work in meal planning and serving. They also have a sum of money that is to be later used to buy glass curtains for the windows in the clothing laboratory. The food prepared in these classes was sold in the cafeterias, thus serving a three-fold purpose, it gave the patrons of the cafeteria a more varied menu, gave the girls practice in work- ing with family-sized quantities of food, and made the unit self-sup- porting. The Junior High classes studied the preparation and serving of breakfast, and gave a demonstration of table service at the Better Homes Week program held in the high school. This program was followed by a cafeteria tea, planned and served by the Home Eco- nomics girls. The students of Caribou High School are grateful to all local merchants who in many ways helped with the equiping of the depart- ment-especially to Mr. Bowden. Through his efforts we have been furnished with an automatic control electric range.
