Home Economics Officers Lottie Swirtz President Margaret Johnson ...........Vice-President Elaine Bruzewski ...........Secretary Mary Jakeway Treasurer Mrs. Dorothy Stencel Sponsor The membership of the Home Economics club is composed of girls who are interested in the domestic arts and sciences. Activities of this group were charitable and social as well as instructive. At Thanksgiving time the girls filled a basket with foodstuffs to be given to a needy family. A Christmas party was held during the holiday season at which gifts were exchanged and a potluck supper turned out to be another successful social event spon- sored by the Home Ec girls. Since personal appearance is very important to all girls, the talk given by Mrs. Waldo Bennett from the Anne Rose Moran School of Beauty on The Art of Make-Up and Good Grooming proved to be a very interesting and appropriate one. At some of the more recent meetings skits and short plays have been put on by some of the members. Most of the regular meetings were spent in sewing, knitting and various types of fancy work which the members brought with them each time they met. These practical-minded young women are pre- paring themselves not only to be of great service to their families in the present but also to become better housewives in their own homes in the future. The members of the Industrial Arts and Home Economics classes spent a geat deal of time outside of classes on their work Many t.mes the Home Ec gals were called upon to serve at banquets and such. The Industrial Arts boys did their share too. They often spent time on extra curricular projects and proved helpful by doing repair work around the school The picture below shows a class conducted by Mrs Mabel Roome mastering the art of cookina. In the bottom picture Clarence Haynes points out helpful hints to Danny O'Hare in a machine drawing class NOROSCOPE Page 27
