The club sponsored the annual Cotton Stocking Campaign, which lasted from November to February. With the aid of the foods class, the club served cafeteria and had hot-dog sales during the year. The money earned was spent in buying new equipment for the foods laboratory. On April 28. the club members and their friends spent an enjoyable evening at a party given in the gymnasium of the school. Old-time party games were played and Mr. Pierce furnished the music for dancing. In May the club invited their mothers to attend a style show given by the clothing classes and tea was served by the foods class. “Dietetic Harmonies,” the contribution of the club to the Stunt Show, was a line representation of the work of the organization.
