Home Economics Goes From Batter Magic seemed to be the best word to describe the transformations that took place in home ec. For instance, no one would have believed that those first few weeks of sewing seams big enough for an elephant and ripping out the zipper for the eighth time could ever produce anything decent. Especially after comments like 'fl thought the sleeve was the collar, so I sewed it to the neckline. lt took me three days to figure out what happened. Or further confessions: I've been working on it for six months and it's turn- ing out pretty good . . . l'm surprised. But slowly everything from pink-and-purple-droop-drawer- pajamas to blouses of white satin began to make their appearance in perfection, proving that clothing class was definitely not fabricated. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, cooks colored their way into the world of foods.

After discussing color, classes also learned cul- ture in diversified ways. Taco parties seemed to be the hot item in the Spanish classes, drawing droves of French and German converts by the tempting smells. Headphones provided another way to learn, as well as a good excuse to slip in some Led Zeppelin. Across the hall, the jeune filles of French parleyed their way through Scrabble and Mille Bornes as well as luscious banana fondues. German frauleins fought their way to the board in relay races and sadistically enjoyed games of hangman which brightened many an afternoon. Thus, language students found an adventure in communicating as the green words and phrases sunk slowly into their gray matter. ,
