Home Economics Course Explores Married Life Married students were allowed to attend Shanks for the first time under the new policy. To prepare students for married life, the home economics department offered a marriage class taught by Mrs. Ella Reed. Marriage responsibilities, budgeting, insurance buying, furniture selecting and marriage customs were topics of discussion. Field trips and a mock wedding added to learning opportunities for students who explored the marriage tradition.
