FUTURE HOMEMAKERS ARE MEMBERS OF THE HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club was organized in October, 1937. The girls in foods, clothing, and home management classes are members of this organization. Oflicers elected for the year 195 7-38 are: Melba Timmons, President, Esther Edwards, Vice- President, Elsie Milligan, Secretary and Treasurer. The club, with an enrollment of forty-live members, meets once a month. Two captains were chosen and the club was divided into two groups, who take turns in being responsible for the meetings. Each girl entertains the group and each thing she does counts a point. At the end of the year, the group with the largest number of points is entertained by the losers. This fall at Halloween, the merchants of Monticello offered prizes to the classes or organization that decorated the best store window. The Home Economic Club competed in this contest and won fourth prize, which was two dollars. You might be interested in knowing how we decorated the window. Clothes pins were dressed as dolls and a miniature masquerade dance was very well planned. The purpose of our club is to combine the Home Economics classes and a monthly get-together. 24
