Rock and Roll isn't everything we teen- age girls concentrate on. liven Sputnik isn't stealing the whole show. Yes, we girls still hold a prominent place in the picture by learning to cook good nourishing meals and sew smart fashions. The courses over the four years are so divided as to have a balanced program for each year. As freshmen, personal adjustments, which include styles, good grooming and cleanliness, the basic fundamentals of cloth- ing construction and cooking, and a course in child care comprise the work. The second year homemakers take up sewing in the more advanced stage. Food preservation, planning and cooking lunch- eons and casseroles also play an instrumen- tal part in the education of sophomores. Food nutrition simultaneously with the planning of balanced meals are a part of the junior course, along with the study of fabrics and household linens. Christmas cookery was a project undertaken by the girls, plus a continuation in clothing con- struction. Personal and social development are em- phasized in the senior year in preparation for marriage.
