Clothing . . . a womanly skill ea X Di Lesnssqis. Sewing is one of Presentation's most delightful and constructive classes. Whether it be a simple-to-make blouse or a difficult-to-make suit they are making, stu- dents are confident they will complete the garment to perfection with the skillful aid of Miss Anita De Martini and Mrs. Walter Kenny. A typical student, Virginia Tringale, has learned to read, understand, and cut out a pattern, how to join the various pieces, how to operate a sewing machine, how important fitting a garment is, and how to finish a gar- ment professionally. Sewing class becomes a pleasant relaxation during the steady routine of a day of study, but sewing students know that it is also a wonderful preparation for the homemakers of tomorrow.
