Homemakers of Tomorrow The aims of the Home Economics Club are to make future homemakers and develop each girl's personality. These girls are taught the secrets of well balanced meals, and decorative table settings in the food unit. Early in the year an interesting unit was that of child care, during which time the girls made baby clothes. They then made dresses, and play suits and modeled these in a style show which they sponsored. To demonstrate their skill in the culinary art. they served a three-course dinner to the members of the school board and their wives. Chalk, Books and Blackboa rds One of the most active and remunera- tive. if honors and achievements are to be considered, of Ogallala High’s organi- zations is the Future Teachers Club. The Future Teachers are those who next year will be passing on the infor- mation which they have acquired during the past twelve years, to the youngsters who will look to them for learning and guidance. Under Miss Nielson these students are taught the rudiments and essentials of teaching. Betty Gregory fits a housecoat for Pauline Hoke as other members of the Home Economics Club watch and learn.
