The rain and wind went through everything that cold stormy day. Rain streamed down the window pane, blurring all objects outside On a cold wet day in February without snow, without ice! THE BLOODY BEAST The bloody beast - our dear teacher - The bloody beast moved toward me with great s peed And then the bloody beast lay on the floor stiff!

H ousebolcl Ns We like to think that our household arts room is really a home making room, and that each one who makes use of its services feels at home, It may be a fifth grade boy who has torn his trousers, or it may be a third grade girl embarrassed by the need ofa little mending or a zipper that will not work who may come downstairs knowing that we will try to help him or her and then send each one off happy again. The facilities of our room are also available to the high school students for mending and pressing as the need arises. Of course there is the serious business of learning to perform household duties, to sew and to prepare nourishing, well-balanced meals. The girls are made responsible for the care of the room and its equipment. They have an opportunity to learn much about budgeting, whether it is making a family budget on a dehnite income, or learning the value of money in relation to what it will buy in home furnishings. The study of children's growth and development is a most interesting subject, and the project of child care is always fascinating to the girls. They repare a baby book and each one makes some garment or a layette. Some techniques of child care, such as bathing the baby, are learned. Last, but not least, in our home making room is the opportuniy to discuss teen-age problems, the forms of etiquette, timely and appropriate decorations, and tanta- lizing refreshments for social events. Many ideas become realities with the aid of suggestive materials found in our home economics room. Yes, we think our household arts room gives us a chance to understand ourselves and each other, to learn to do things, to have fun, to work together, and to serve others. Surely all these are attributes of a good home and these are the attributes of our home making room.
