HOME ECONOMICS Miss Helen Loftis, Dr. Opal T. Rhodes (Director), Miss Rachel D. Moss, Mrs. Fannie D. Smith. The main purpose of the Home Economics Depart- ment is to prepare men and women for the respon- sibilities and problems of homemaking and family leadership. It also prepares the home economist for professional life. Through the laboratories and other home facilities at the college, the student of home eco- nomics is able to put into practice the principles which are learned in the classroom. One of the interests of the Home Economics Department is the nursery school for children two and three years of age. Juniors in the department handle the school cafeteria where com- muters, Keith pupils, and the faculty eat lunch. There are also two home management houses where the students learn all aspects of homemaking including child care. 15

At the culmination of four years of study in the Business Education Department, the students receive certification and their coveted B. S. degrees. 14
