IGitpraro jB’imrtiPB ani (ElubB Julia Robertson Home Economics Club NOTHER year ended with the Home Economics Club the most active club in school. At the beginning of the year we found that there was not enough room in the cottage to accommodate all the girls interested in Home Economics. What were we to do? A new department was added. A room in the high school was equipped and all the girls were ac¬ commodated. Yes! Miss Harrison left us. We came to school to find that we had two new Home Economics teachers. Miss Florence Reese, teacher at the cottage, and Miss Lois Winston, soon to be Mrs. Turpin, teacher in the school department. We at once learned to love these teachers and to value their work. Perhaps some of you wonder what happened to Miss Har¬ rison. She was made supervisor of Home Economics in the State of Virginia. She comes to see us occasionally. Mrs. Avery, one of the most loved persons in the state, came to see us last fall. We feel honored, that while in ill health she remembered her girls in Hopewell. We regret her death, and wish to follow the excellent example laid down by her. Our Club has done many things this year. Instead of having a “Rummage Sale” as in previous years, we gave the clothes and toys collected from our Christmas Party to the poor. Miss Katherine Sinclair was present at one of our meetings and gave us a very interesting talk on “Personality.” Miss Julia Robertson, our Club sponsor, showed her interest in us by sending us apples at Christmas and writing to us during the year. One of the Club members donated books to our Library. We had girls from Atlee Home Economics Club to come to visit us. They thought we had a lovely house. This compliment made us proud of our cottage. The first of May we had “Open House” at our cottage. The pupils and the public were invited to come and look over the cottage, and see what we were doing. They all seemed to have enjoyed it very much. We expect to keep on. Page Thirty-two
