Homemaking students learned and practiced the proper procedure of graciously serving guests at faculty teas and various other school functions. Sewing students discovered that the easiest and most inexpensive way to begin their spring wardrobe was by making fashionable garments themselves. Cody homemaking students were given a better chance to prepare themselves as future homemakers through the wide fields of vocational training offered here. Courses ranged from cooking and sewing to child care, enabling students to leam all essential phases of a mother's care. Learning the very simplest things at first, cooking classes were later taught to prepare complete meals. From planning the menu to doing the dishes, students were rewarded with the experience and responsibility of preparing a whole meal by themselves. Through their clothing classes, students found out that sewing minimized their wardrobe expenses and gave them an unequaled personal satis- faction. These co-eds discovered the right style, size, pattem and material important in producing a fashionable finished garment. Interior decorating, one of Cody's newer courses, gave students a chance to use their imagination and style techniques at designing and arranging modern decors while family living and child care taught Cody's co-eds the fundamentals of maintaining a happy home. A recipe for bread just like grandmother used to make was an advanced cooking class' lesson for the day as they learned how to prepare more difficult foods. HOME ECONOMICS TEACHERS . . . Top Row: M.
