HOME MAKING DEPARTMENT. In order to make a success of any phase in life, it is neces- sary to understand, to the best of one's ability, every thing in connection with that particular thing. So it is with Home- Making. Simply not only the art of cooking and sewing but selection and economy of food as well as clothing. This is the main object of the course. Other subjects-Basketry, House-Furnishing, General Science, Laundry, Care of Equipment, all link closely to form the most valuable chain of life-that of an efficient, thrifty and devoted Home-Maker. Along with the definite course of study was carried the Hot Lunch Problem, conducted by the present Senior and Jun- ior Classes. This proved quite a success due to the Willingness and enthusiasm of the girls in charge as Well, as the generous appetite of the student body. The benefits, along with some aid from a previous class, enabled the purchasing of furniture for the Model Dining Room, which will be a great asset for the coming classes. It was soup! soup! soup! Hey! Waiter, are you coming? was the war-hoop. Put a good big measure in it And I Want it right this minute, Then fill up a second bowl of soup.
