Home Ec students worked for proficiency in the arts of homemaking and domestic skills. The various courses stressed efficient home management and suc- cessful solutions to problems which accompany family life. Students practiced food selection and care, budget- ing, meal preparation, and correct service techniques in the food courses. They also studied good manage- ment practices, safety, sanitation, and equipment care. Students designed wardrobes and made vari- ous items of clothing after gaining a basic know- ledge of clothing selection, care, construction, and colors and fabrics. Establishing and maintaining an ideal family rela- tionship, a pleasant atmosphere, and a secure budget were the chief concerns of the home nursing, home decorating, family living, and family management classes. Students created actual family circumstances through skits to obtain realistic experiences in family living. Panel discussions, special speakers, and ques- tion-and-answer periods provided necessary facts for the future establishment of homes.
