Learning to bake that first cake and to sew a straight seam are the happy experiences of each new home economics student. The girls work hard at learn- ing to be homemakers in preparation for their future lives as housewives. ln our home economic classes, we not only learn to bake and sew, but we also learn how to arrange and decorate our homes. Then, too, we receive hints on how to be a good baby sitter, learning that patience is the key word. Housework isn't all work as some may imagine. ln class we learn to make it enjoyable and interesting by inventing new recipes and creating new and different fashions of clothes. ' ii VIRGINIA RUNYON, with a B.S. degree teaches Health, Home Economics, and Physical Educa- tion. She is sponsor of GAA, and co-sponsor of the Junior class. Her help as sponsor of the Junior-Senior Prom was much appreciated. When it comes to entertaining, the girls are all prepared. The meal and its setting are fit for any king. The boss or those ladies in for tea will certainly be impressed. At Christmas time we were taught how to wrap packages so they would look like the work of a pro- fessional. The credit goes to those well spent hours in our home ec. classes where we acquired this knowledge. No longer is the title Homemaker regarded with little esteem. lt is thought of with respect and admiration. Any girl would be proud to obtain this name. ., gi .1 ,, iff, X ' ' , if 13: f Y y 11' veg' A i,.:g,,- x. - 14-

After that nobody knows. People think that history is everything that has happened. A more common use of the word is a com plete recorded story which gives an account of past events and arranges it in the order in which it has v 1 occurred. As man learned to write he recorded these hap- penings, At first they appeared inscribed in caves and on implements. .'lY.':,iA , 'llfnj iv '? Z , Q, --ff.

History may be taught to win support for a par- ticular political regime. Under Hitler and Mussolini the texts of Germany and Italy were quickly revised to lend support to the history of the Nazis and the Facists. History develops patriotism. Through the teach- ing and reading of history, everyone learns to love and respect their country, and admire its heroes, This plays an important role in our intellectual life, and gives us a better understanding of the world we live in today.
