In N--u-nu--M Home Economics In Home Economics courses offered at M.V.H.S., girls prepare for a challenging career: that of the housewife. They learn basic skills in cooking and sewing, besides gaining experience in home management, budgeting. and baby care. Freshmen learn basic fundamentals in cooking and sewing, while sophomores do advanced work. Visits from hair stylists, industrial home economists and demonstrators, and salesladies who describe the uses of many different types of products, vary the classroom rou- tine, and liven interest in many areas of home economics. Students are encouraged to judge goods and services wise- ly, because this ability can enable a girl to manage a household efliciently. Physical Education Physical education classes provide fun and relaxation for students. The major purpose of physical education courses, however, is to condition and strengthen the body. Stu- dents learn the thrill of competition, and the importance of courtesy and good sportsmanship. In P.E. classes, the importance of personal cleanliness and grooming is emphasized and students are taught to better understand themselves and those around them.
