P 'F Fl' 9+ Home Economics The objectives of the Home Economics Depart- ment are designed to make girls become interested in and learn about the following: l. Responsibility in the home and in society. 2. Understanding of nutrition and skill in food preparation. 3. Care of infants and of the sick and injured. 4. Management of money in the home. 5. Care and repairs of clothing. 6. Making the home comfortable and attractive. Infant care, clothing, foods and table service are taught to the seventh graders. In this class, the girls learn the elementary steps of many things: this enables them to become far more efficient at home. Home Economics II deals with foods, clothing, textile study, and spending the family income. Child care and guidance, clothing, laundry, goods, interior decoration, and family relationships are taken up in Home Ec. III and IV. These subjects prepare the girls to be independent of many jobs that someone else normally would have done for them. In Homemaking 12, family relationship, foods. laundry, child care and guidance, and interior decoration is taken up. The projects that the seventh graders make in sewing are pinafores and cotton skits. Knitting and embroidering is taught to those wanting to learn. Probably the most important class is the Home- making class. This class offers the senior girls the opportunities of learning all they possibly can be- fore they graduate and take up the various occupa- tions. The Home Economics Department is under the able direction of Mrs. Wm. Holquist. Mrs. Stella Bruce and Mrs. Minnie also teach in this department.
