VERA CAMPBELL FLORA Wim EDNA M. LUCAS ALBERTA SMITH VERA Cnopraa The Domestic Science Department and Office Force The aim of the home economics department is to teach healthful, artistic, and economical selection and preparation of foods and clothing. The girls foods classes, in charge of Miss Lucas, are following a course of study which includes menus, general household management, child feeding, budgets and accounting. The advanced class prepares menus and diets. One of the interesting features of- the food work is the boys' food class, in which they are learning the correct form of preparing meals, the carving of meats, table etiquette, and the duties of a host. Sewing is taught in all grades. Problems in textiles and personal hygiene are discussed in the 9th grade. This class consists primarily of girls who have not studied sewing in junior high. Less time in garment construction, and more time in the study of color and design, is the problem of the 10th grade. In addition Miss Flora Wild is directing the class in preparing a series of budgets for typical high school girls. Sewing in the advanced classes is taught by Miss Vera Campbell. The greater part of the work of the semester for the eleventh grade is the study and making of clothing for in- fants and small children. The rest of the time is devoted to millinery. For the twelfth grade class, home furnishings and interior decorating covers the course. Several days are spent in visiting furniture stores for ideas which are later developed by students in class room work. Miss Alberta Smith and Miss Vera Cropper make up the office force. Miss Cropper succeeded Miss Margaret Gainer who had been secretary prior to this year. Page 25
