The clothing classes, under the direction of Miss Wallace, besides the ac- tual making of garments, learn about styles, most becoming colors, and co- lor combinations, and still find time to sew for the Red Cross, In Mrs. Rice's cooking classes the girls learn, in addition to the actual preparation of food, about balanced diets, special diets for children, and invalids, budgeting and table etiquette. The problems of the Homemaking Classes center around the family: the home, its selection, style and color scheme, furnishings, budgeting, buying child care, and home nursing. The regular Red Cross course in Advanced First Aid was given all senior girls by Mrs. Ralph Hefner during the spring semester as part of their home making requirement.

' '5Ibfc - RS-f Q Ixldllon mdlw X'-see.-.5 md 3 PHUSIUHL EUUUHTIUII if il! Miss Spreen Mr Harrison Increased interest and enthusiasm marked the students desire for a bet- ter physical condition preparatory for entering some service. Rigorous calisthenics, under the direction of Mr. Harrison and the new obstacle course left the boys stiff and sore at the first but gradually attain- ed the best condition in years. Though perhaps they haven't realized this hardening progress , Mr. Harrison vouches for results. This spring added interest was brought about through the boxing tourn- aments. The results of Miss Spreen's vigorous training are extremely noticeable among the girls in straighter backs, harder muscles, and far improved senses of balance. Tumbling and modern dancing have added to the in- terest and achievement. Although grumbles and groans were heard from both boys and girls at the strenuous program, very few will not grant that the physical condition of the students has been improved almost a hundred per cent.
