Foods INCE nutrition is recognized as one of the most important factors in a health program, cooking is studied to promote this science. T Charleston High girls have had ample opportunity for such instruc- tion through the foods classes con- ducted this semester by? Miss Kearney and Miss Kimmel. The home economics department does not attempt to make trained cooks, but plans the course to assist girls in later domestic life. The activities of this department are numerous. Food, planned and made in class, is contributed tu various charitable institutions, such as the Davis Child Shelter, Union Mission, and Old Ladies Home. Interesting and educational exliibs its are .held during the year. Clothing NIC OF the most popular courses for girls is the cloth- ing course. Not only does it teach how to make beautiful clothes at small cost, but also instructs the girls how to plan a wardrobe for each season of the year. The course is taught by Miss Kimmel and Miss Lilley. and can be taken in four se- mesters with an additional semester of Advanced Sewing. The classes have an interesting' display about o11ce a month, when samples of millinery, coats. suits, and dresses may be seen i11 the class rooms. A fashion show is given once a year in Assembly, and the results of their activities are amazing, proved by the increasing number enrolled in the sewing course each semester. l'i A-R A SIEXVING CLASS '- five he XX '91 'Q ef 4 T 1 J - Nineuh ffkeffh .7 J. m-'gr Y.
