Since that time the department has been expanded to include three rooms, n clothing laboratory, a foods laboratory and a living room. The modern equipment and homelike arrangement make possible a well-rounded program of homemasing activities. Many phases of homemaking are taught including foods, clothing, child care, home nursing, personal grooming and family relationships. The forty-five girls enrolled in the department carry on projects at home during the year using the knowledge gained in the classroom as a background for their home experience. The Home Economics Club which includes the girls most interested in the department was organized last year. Its purpose is to create good fellowship among the girls and to further interest the girls in homemaking activities. The officers are as follows: President, Mary Polston; Vice-President, Dorothy Gathman; Secretary-Treasurer, Beth Carter; Song Leader, Cleona McCool; Pianist, Betty Caslavka; Social Chairman.
