19 2 9 THE PRAIRIE 19 2 9 JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET 28 Home Economics Home Economics is not a new field of work. Home Economics embodies cook- ing, sewing, home making, millinery, house planning, infant care and hygienic, house- hold management, interior decoration, and everything that helps to make a pleasant home. In 1915 when the course was introduced in our school there was not very much equipment. During the year the classes in home economics do some outside activities. For the past four years the sophomore class have served a dinner to the school hoard. Dinners arc served also to the faculty. Hot lunch is served at noon by the sophomore and freshman classes. During the year sales of various kinds are held after school. This year a new dining room set has been purchased by the department, and one of the rooms has been renovated into a dining room. [21]
