Sewing, Cooking, Decorating Taught in Home Economics DOROTHY ARFSTROM Home Economics ROSEMARY RIGGS Home Economics Preparing the homemakers of tomorrow to face the task which awaits them is the job of FLHS's Home Economics Department. Seventh and eighth graders in home economics classes started the year with a unit on good grooming. The girls learned to choose and care for their clothing properly and to improve their own appearance. Sewing was a new experience for many, as the girls made pleated skirts and worked on dusters or pajamas. While the eighth grade prepared foods for luncheons, the seventh graders used the theme, A Good Breakfast Makes A Good Day ' The Freshman Class began the year with a course on family relations which included dating and understanding themselves. After this they began to prepare for their guest dinner by making rolls, preparing meats, and planning budget dinners. The freshman and advanced home economics classes had units on color, texture, and line, after which they made dresses or wool clothing. Home economics is not all work, but it is fun also. While a cooking class was busy making tunafish salad without the tuna, one girl in sewing was putting her sleeves in backwards. 30
