THE Fm T ART .. The Home Economics Club serves to pre- pare girls for domestic responsibilities. ln order to start homemaking it is necessary that we learn its many arts. The members of the club are taught the correct ways of preparing foods and how to live cheaply by making arti- cles of clothing and items used around the home. We have endeavored to make our club work more interesting by varying our activities. This year we plan to progress to higher standards. Being in a christian school and environment, we learned that cleanliness is next to godliness. We feel that the girls associated wth our club will have a better view on how to fulfill this require- ment.
