Domestic Art THE Domestic Art class of 1029 and ’30 under the supervision of Miss Melba Stuart accomplished many practicable things. The accomplishments of the year are: the underwear problem, and making of bloomers, slips, kimonos and pajamas. Christmas presents were studied by the girls and many clever gifts for friends and relatives were made. The girls studied textiles (wool, silk, cotton and linen). These textiles were studied so thoroughly that every girl knows how all materials are made. The studying of types of people and dress proved very interesting to the class, also beneficial for the girls now know what color and pattern is best for their type. In the studying of children’s clothing, the girls made note books on the subject. The girls made two cotton dresses and the closing of the school year found them with beautiful silk dresses which had been made in class. The past matrons of the O. E. S. gave an award to the girl having the best skill and attitude in Domestic Art. Besides accomplishing all these things the girls gave a Hallowe’en Dance. The proceeds from the dance were used in buying drapes for the Domestic Art Department. The girls made the new window drapes. In May the girls gave a reception and fashion show. The crowd declared it was the cleverest event of the season. While I lome Economics has certain factual values the real worth lies in stimulating life interest and inspirations for training to live more fully and har- moniously within the family group. The Domestic Art girls during the year strived to follow the characteristics of a Home Economics girl: She is hospitable: resourceful, healthy: thrifty; helpful and thoughtful. She has poise. She is neat and orderly and dresses smartly. She is honest and loyal and is a I lome lover. She is clean in thought, word and deed. CJL) 4 --------- - 22 - do ?

 1 O on l o on Domestic Science ■ JNDEK the able supervision of our foods teacher. Miss Melba Stuart, the Domestic Science department has made great headway during the course of the school year. The girls have taken lessons in the following: canning, (fruits and vegetables) the use of eggs as a food and the ways of preserving, making of different candies, the planning of different types of breakfasts, bread making, pasteries, cakes, along with ideas on economy in preparing food. Along towards the last of the year each two girls planned and prepared a dinner and served it to the class and a few guests. The equipment in the department is all very practical and new. This year a new electric range was installed, and this, with the coal range instal- led last year, there is plenty of room to accommodate all of the girls. The second year girls planned and gave demonstrations and talks on salads and sandwiches. They first gave their talks to the class and then to the Woman’s Club of Green River. tx ?
