The new subject, Home Economics IV, consisted of those students who were al- ready familiar with sewing from commer- cial patterns. Students in these classes used their own imagination to design their clothes. This unit also included the study of foreign foods thus helping the students gain a better un- derstanding ofthe cultural patterns of other countries. A demonstration mirror was the main piece of new equipment purchased. With the use of this overhead mirror, it was possible to project the proper techniques of displaying food, setting the table, etc. Home Ec. students went on a field trip to the Betty Crocker Kitchens where they viewed several rooms used for cooking and entertaining. Each room, designed in a dif- ferent style, added variety to the tour. The year ended by naming the most outstanding home economics student.
