RfHPPvHPvMOC 1921 History of Leonti JPear JiomeSttc iktence Class I N September, 1918, our class entered the high school at the old Frederick Hotel, after being greeted with a speech of welcome by Mr. Birckhead he asked the girls to take Domestic Science; and we being as ignorant as most freshmen classes failed to take it; later after seeing the splendid work of that class we regretted not taking it. The next year being Sophomores the first thing we did was to register on the Household Arts roll. At the first lesson Miss Payne almost gave up in despair for the ignorant little Sophomores couldn’t even hold a needle, and as for the thimble we didn’t know there was such a thing. The first thing we were made to sew was our cooking aprons, and then the awful task of working button holes. When this appeared on the scene Helen in desperation threw her first button hole out of the window and with it her thimble which she had never learned to use, since that was mashed by a “Ford” as it struck- Main Street, and there wasn’t another one in town to fit her she has not yet learned to use the detested thimble. On Tuesdays and Thursdays we had the pleasant task of toddling up to the Elementary School in the rain, hail or snow, according to the season, as it was sure to be some form of rainfall on those two days, to take cooking. In this branch of the study we were not so green, although many a mistake has been made that has never been told. One day on entering the kitchen we found that the rats had eaten large holes in our aprons we had labored so faithfully over, and we hadn’t then learned to patch. Another great surprise awaiting us was that when school began in September, 1920, our Miss Payne came back to us as Mrs. Link; but she always has and always will be the best Pal the Domestic Science Class ever had. We now have a lovely sewing room, all fitted out with lovely tables, machines, chairs and best of all a “Mirror.” We also have a kitchen, the utensils of which the whole school is proud, but up to a short while ago we had no gas with which to cook; now the gas has been put in, and also a beautiful new gas range. For the last few weeks we have been working hard in our kitchen and dining¬ room, endeavoring to equip them so that the future Domestic Science classes may not have to borrow silver, linen, etc., from their parents when they have to entertain the faculty. 87 M.
