The ambition of many Lockport High girls is reflected by the interest shown in the courses offered by the home economics department. The lat- est in new outfits was designed through the efforts of Mrs. Marion K, Morrison's costume designing class. ln personal grooming the girls studied the appro- priate costume for the individual, the correct way to buy fabrics and clothes, and the points to follow in judging ads. This course is a personal improvement unit to teach the girls to do the things that will make them more attractiveg such as, watching their manner of speech, walk, make-up, and hair-dos. Her clothing classes made such things as pajamas, skirts, blouses, aprons, and dresses. They learned how to select and test fabrics for their strength and texture. They also learned the colors and kinds of materials most appropriate for their proportions and coloring. Knowing how to cook is another requirement of a good housewife. Un- der the careful supervision of Mrs. Morrison, the foods class prepared many tantalizing dishes. Serving and preparing well-balanced meals was another project of this class. The home nursing classes, under the leadership of Mrs. Mary G. Ma- honey and Mrs. Anne R. Ramsey, helped create better housewives by teaching the girls the correct way to care for the sick. The girls learned how to keep their patients happy under any circumstances. They also learned what to do in case of certain sicknesses. Dorothy Kure and Marilyn Green do dishes - cheerfully? Rita I-'rcrcoro enjoys bed-making in home nursing. Ardith Mathers cmd Dolores Kiley display their domestic ability in the cooking room. 421i
