Harris 5. Reynolds HOME ECONOMICS Perhaps more than any other depart- ment In the college, the hlome Economics Department, directed by Dr. Opal J. Rhodes, stresses the practical side of educa- tion for living. The care of young children in the nursery school, managerial experience in the cafeteria which serves lunches to stu- dents and faculty, work in the hlome Man- agement House, and courses in the making and remodeling of clothes give the future Home Economics teachers an understanding of the problems to be met in every day life. With this experience they are prepared to assist high school students in meeting these same problems successfully. Within and out- side of the department students receive a fine technical and cultural background. I. Rhodes 5. Merrlm, 10. Oxiey -Head of Dept. 2. Hastle 3. Pecora 4. Moss 1 6. Omwake 7.
