The courses included sewing, cooking and home mak- ing. The favorite activity of the girls was the cooking class. Here, under the direction of Miss Mas- sengill, the students prepared such delicacies as pineapple cream pie, chocolate layer cakes, and cookies of different varieties. They also planned different types of meals.
