The second year of home ec- onomics is an advanced course covering the basic fundamentals of homemaking. In this class, the stu- dents learn to prepare and serve various types of foods. Their sewing includes a dressy dress, a simple dress, and a suit, as well as a gift for their mother at Christmas. The Home Economics II students are responsi- ble for the preparation of the food for the Junior- Senior Banquet. This food is served by the Home Economics I students. There is only one year of home economics offered to the boys. During this year, they learn how to cook, and they also make a sport shirt.
