J4ome £ ome economic4 LELA COOK Home Economics HOME ECONOMICS The tea table was prepared by the Home Living Girls as a result—of a study of table etiquette and table service. This course is designed for Junior and Senior girls who have had no previous home Economics Courses in high school. This is Just one of the phases of home living with which the class deals. This course has been developed to meet a growing consciousness of the need for more stress on the importance of the treasures of home and family life which we have always more or less taken for granted. The new cabinets installed in the Foods Laboratory of the Homemaki..g Department are an inspiration to all stu- dents enrolled in Homemaking. The fourth-year Homemaking students shown are taking full advantage of the new im- provements. The addition of these modern facil- ities is the first major improvement made since the department was started in 1921. The equipment includes . two complete kitchen units with double sinks, a new heating tank, two Magic Chef stoves, and a Bendix Automatic Washer. The windows above the two sinks are equipped with Venetian blinds.
