Homemaking-A Ca Through study and experience we in the Home Eco- nomics classes strive to become future homemakers. In the daily classes we learn such fundamentals as home management. child care. cooking, sewing and care ol clothing, how to hudget and the rehnishing and re- modeling ol old lurniture. The school year is divided into thirdsg one third is given over to child care or home management. one third to sewing, and one third to cooking. Both sophomores and seniors study child care, but the seniors put their knowledge into practice in a day nur- sery, which is held at Northwestern High School. While the sophomores and seniors study child care the juniors learn home management. During the sewing portion of the year the sophomores work on xyoolens. the juniors on childrcnis clothes and the remodeling ol old clothes, and the seniors on date dresses or lormals. Cooking teaches not only the preparation of food, but its nutritional value and how to serve well-balanced, tasty meals. Those who major in home economics spend their sen- ior year in the apartment. caring for it as we would a home and doing our cooking and sewing projects within it.

IV! For The Future Miss Rinaldi Northwesternls Commercial Department is an important one, not only because it serves the school but because it pre- pares students for the outside business world. Commercial students are prepared for every phase of business. which includes shorthand, typing. bookkeeping, re- tailing, and office practice. In Office Practice students learn not only the fundamentals of good business and how to do office work. but they learn the use of many business machines. Teachers call upon the commercial students to do jobs such as typing, mimeographing, and dittoing. Usually some students are in the office helping Mrs. Kathleen VVeber and Mrs. Katherine Swift in the daily office routine. Crank it up . .
