OFFICE GIRLS The office girls this year were Claire Cote, Avis Atwood, Marie Leitch, Jacque- line Ford, Alice Andrew, Barbara Ford, and Charlotte Dyer, with Miss Anna Damon as adviser. The girls spend one period a day in the office and their duties are many and varied, such as answering the telephone calls, receiving guests, and answer- ing correspondence. The work is not only enjoyable but gives a great deal of experience to any girl who plans taking up commercial work for her livelihood.

HOME ECONOMICS Two classes of Home Economics of two periods each were part of a three year course in the school program beginning September, 1943. Those who have had one year of Home Economics are juniors. The other class consists of five sophomores and eight seniors. First year students learn the fundamental food groups, how to plan a well balanced diet, and how to cook and serve such a meal. The second year includes the study of household equipment, furnishings and their care. It also stresses the value of proper nutrition, the cuts of meat, the buying and preservation of foods, and table service. The seniors have served four dinners which have been planned and cooked for parents and teachers. A special banquet was served to the school committees and wives from Randolph, Avon and Holbrook. Refreshments have been served at Parents’ night by the sophomores. Several new items of equipment have been added to the Home Economics room during the year; this makes the work in this department much pleasanter and easier. It has been a successful year, and the various events have been enjoyable to all who have taken part in them. The classes are hoping for a bright future and further improvements for next year.
