The Food girls are truly appre- ciated in Essex High. Although there are few, their skills are be- yond compare. Throughout their high school years, they are con- stantl y improving in t heir baking, cooking, and preparation of dif- ferent dishes for our faculty members. In their Senior year, they may leave with confidence, for they can find such jobs as die- ticians, cooks, and other positions in the food industry. Wait until the girls get a wiff of this. Oh dear — Is that ham your putting in the ham sandwich?? Francis D'Alessio is all smiles when cleanup time rolls around.

Dressmoking Many fashions are created by our Dressmaking girls. In their Sophomore year they are amazed by the new equipment and new expressions used. Darts, se ams, and tucks are but a few of the pro- cesses they perform. As Juniors they are asked to design many more fashions, and they apply their skills carefully. As Seniors they are capable of de- signing their own prom gowns. They may leave Essex High knowing they will achieve their goals in the world of fashion. Designing their own patterns takes a great deal of concentration and skill.
