June 8, 1934 THE CHALK LINE 29 HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club, as a part of its year ' s work, sponsored the establishment of a Home Management House on the campus. The surroundings of the Home Management House are ideal for any home—made picturesque by its shrubs and flowers planted by the college land¬ scape gardener. Due to Dr. Sherrod ' s forethought and man¬ agement the home was furnished without any outside financial aid. It was through the coopera¬ tion of the girls making it their home, and the efficient supervision of Mrs. Earnest of the Home Economics Department that such a practical course in home-making could be added to the cur¬ riculum. The girls are now working under a schedule similar to the ones used in all Home Management Houses. The work is so divided that each girl has the opportunity to get experience in each phase of home work. Their schedule follows: I. Hostess. 1. Responsible for proper carrying out of all household plans. 2. Make out menus for four days and post in kitchen for cook. 3. Confer with cook about menus and assist cook if necessary. 4. Serves main dish at table. 5. Looks after marketing. 6. Pay household bills. 7. Keep itemized account of all money paid out under definite headings. 8. Any supplies left over at end of week will be sold to the new hostess for the next week. II. Housekeeper. 1. Looks after laundry. 2. Cleans house (girls responsible for own bedroom). III. Cook. 1. Prepare all meals. 2. Go to living room just before meal is an¬ nounced. 3. Eats at opposite end of table from hostess and helps serve. 4. Cleans kitchen. 5. Keeps record of time to prepare meal. IV. Waitress. 1. Announce meal. 2. Prepare table. 3. Prepare breakfast cereals and salads. 4. See that everything is in readiness before meal is announced. 5. Remove dishes and serve courses. 6. Washes all glasses, china and silver. The cook and waitress arise at 7:00 or 7:30 according to family schedule for day. If the fam¬ ily has classes at 8:30 breakfast is over at 8:00. The group conference or family council is held with Mrs. Earnest at stated intervals. At these conferences family relationship, budgets, and ob¬ jectives for work are discussed. One of their requirements is to plan, prepare, and serve at least one dinner a week to guests. Those living in the home during the year 1933-34 were: Misses Alyne Smelcer, Juanita Graves, Fern Nicely, Frances Shoun, Mary Stuart Farrar, Hattie Shupe, Marian Bristol, and Han¬ nah Worley Massengill. The final social function of the Club was a beautifully planned tea given at the Home Man¬ agement House honoring the club officers, Mis¬ ses Alyne Smelcer, president; Frances Shoun, vice-president; Mary Stuart Farrar, secretary; Murril Laughead, treasurer. ALL-STUDENT RECEPTION On April 30 there was inaugurated in our school an All-Student Reception. Standing in the receiving line were all officers of the Student Body, classes, clubs, and societies. We were de¬ lighted to have as our guest of honor at this re¬ ception the Honorable Governor Hill McAlister and Mrs. McAlister. Liz Shearer: “I ' m nobody ' s fool, she de¬ clared.
