DOUGHGIRLS” A first year foods class mixes biscuits. What’s cookin’? With meatless days, rationing, and food short- ages, the homemaker isn’t living the life of Riley. Ask Miss Yauger who directs our cafe- teria. The verdicts from O. P. A. offer a real chal- lenge to foods classes. The girls are studying nutrition values and food substitutes with zest. These girls must know food values, for the cook must provide the meals which contribute to physical fitness. They are trying to learn econ- omy, too, for there must be food enough for all for us, for our army, and for others. Home-making students have followed the Red Cross nutrition and canteen courses; this allows them to be canteen aids. LEADERS IN CONSERVATION Miss Ruth Yauger, Miss Bertha Nafzger.

HOME ECONOMICS Miss Nafzger supervises a beginning class in sewing. It is not the style to own as many new dresses as possible, but it is indeed smart right now to change the old into something new. Best of all today is the thrifty practice of making one’s own wardrobe. ON THE HOME FRONT The department has made bed jackets, slip- pers, lap robes, and utility bags for the Red Cross, and, as another war measure, advanced classes had a six-week’s unit in home-nursing. Other projects this year were choir robes, pageant costumes and gym uniforms. HOME ECONOMICS Row One (left to right)— Barbara Wallace (president). Edna Thomas.

COMMERCIAL Experience plays an important part in the commercial department. Stu- dents gain this practical side of their training by taking dictation and tap- ping the typewriter for teachers. Because of the great demand for effi- cient office workers, bookkeeping, too, is an important subject, as well as busi- ness English, commercial arithmetic, salesmanship, comptometry, and com- mercial law. Mr. Parent says that the student who acquires accuracy and speed finds that an office position comes with his diplo- ma, and in these days sometimes be- fore. BUSINESS BOOSTERS Mr. Merlin C.
