Homemaking education consists not only of sew- ing and cooking but family relations, housing a fam- ily, health, home care of the sick, first aid, and child development. It is a preparation of youth and adults for the occupation of homemaking. Home and family life affects the workers in all fields and oc- cupations. Homemaking education enables the in- dividual to asstune the responsibilities of homemaking. The main events during the year were the Date with Dad, Mother and Daughter Tea, Family Together, The girls in homemaking served at sev- eral banquets, among other activities. The first year classes went to New Braunfels to the textile mill, the second year girls cooked various types of food, and the third classes made suits and modeled them at one of the P. T. A. meetings. The initiation for the homemaking girls was held on Monday through Thursday. Each day the girls were required to wear a different costume.

A. colors, were wom. Thursday night the girls were honored at a formal initiation and were given their pins.
