Marlene Kucia sews vigorously to complete a new eve¬ ning dress in her freshmen home economics class. SPECIALTIES OF THE HOUSE Preparing an elegant dinner, planning a bud¬ get, mending a shirt . . . these are the home economics students. Girls conquered future problems, such as apartment planning, home decorating, family life, and child care. In addition, cooking and sewing, the basic es¬ sentials, were learned in class. Seamstresses solved the perplexing problems of altering, while cooks focused their talents on prepar¬ ing many delicious specialties. Most girls found their knowledge of sewing and cook¬ ing valuable, since they were able to apply these techniques to their present household problems. They learned by doing. Many saved considerable sums of money on cloth¬ ing, either sporty or dress wear. Then too, stu¬ dents who experimented with food in class cooked up exciting dishes at home for family dinners and snacks. Noncy Anderson, Leo Ann Newlon, Vicki Rock¬ well, Connie Patz, and Jone Willman work on a home economics project. Page twenty-five
