However, the main purpose of this house is not merely to act as a center for parties but also to serve as a place where home training would be practiced. The girls of Edison Institute are taught to cook, to budget money, to order and purchase supplies, to set tables with taste, and to act as charming hostesses. This is a very important part of the life of a woman, and, if she can perform the above duties with skill and charm, she will never have a moment of uneasiness v- . , - is Yr :R '- 5. 4 . rw , Q i Ll rf ' ' V, ff ..

It is upon these occasions that they receive their home training. The girls look forward to their stay for it is always a pleasant time for them. Mrs. Agnes Elliott is the hostess and supervisor. Many novel parties have been held at the Secretary House. Some start out as hay rides or roller skating parties, but always wind up at the Secretary House. Here the gatherings come to pleasant conclusions with the usual dancing and good food. A recent bicycle party at the clubhouse found many a younger brother and sister missing their vehicles, but smug in the promise of candy i or spending money for the temporary loan. 51 The scavenger hunt sent the boys and L girls all over Dearborn hunting for unusual 3 and, in cases, impossible objects. Mrs. Ray ,f Dahlinger has been very helpful in arrang- if ing these parties and has become a dear gs friend of the boys and girls because she is 1 always so willing to cooperate with them. i f . - . ..l.,,:I I A .

lli 1?- HERAL n1s0N INsT1rU'rr: very fittingly has called its school paper the Herald. Thomas Alva Edison named the paper he distributed on the Grand Trunk train by the same name, and it isn't unusual that the boys and girls should want to follow the same example. The paper was first published on February ll, 1934-, which was the anniversary of Mr. Edison's birthday. The paper is made up of material sent by the schools associated with Edison Institute, and is . ' - 1 edited by a stad of students from the high schoo . BETTY HUTCHINSON V i D STAFF Perhaps the most unusual thing about this paper is the feature article which introduces each issue. These feature articles pertain to some part of the ' ' ' ' liable informa- Museum or Village and give very va i tion to its readers. The pictures in the paper are mostly taken by the students. The paper is pub- lished every two weeks and at the end of the year tissues previous to February llj the copies are bound for all the students of the associated schools. ' l We congratulate the members of the high schoo th' ear. staff for the fine work they have done is y Editor 48 MISS SCHRUBBE Admsor H A ,' gku ,fi , A I 1 1 lqfri
