Mary Perisho, B.S. HOME The young homemakers of Paris High get real train- ing for home life situations. Miss Perisho teaches the first and second year home living classes: Miss Hend- ricks, the first and third. They ore also the instructors for the Red Cross Home Nursing Course conducted each year, which is open to any girl in Paris High School. At the beginning of the course students learn to help with family meals. Later, the girls are trusted to pre- pare breakfasts and lunches alone. The problems of rationing and the point system are thoroughly explored. The components of a balanced meal and foods neces- sary to our health are studied. Every meal must be both appetizing and nutritious. Equipment in the model kitchens is the best. On some days half of the class prepares a meal, and the others are the guests. This brings in serving eti- quette. and other social deportment. The home eco- nomics girls prepared and served a G.A.A. dinner and a tea this year. In the clothing classes, clothes appropriate for cer- tain occasions and how to wear them are discussed as the actual production of garments progresses. Patterns, styles, and materials are popular topics, too. Posture is continually stressed, and experimentation in make-up and hair styling are introduced during the year. In the advanced third year class, nutrition, interior decorating, home nursing and home management are taken up. Nutrition requires a good deal of intensive concentration, but the girls really know their proteins, HOME EC CLUB FIRST ROW: Sexton. Alexander. Woss. L. Gibson. M. Krobel. Mist Perisho. G. Gibson.
