SHOP COURSES HOME - MAKING FAB. AND DRESS FABRICS AND DRESS Three years of Fabrics and Dress’ are available, with Fab. and Dress “I” and “2” both giving eight credits and Fabrics and Dress “3” 10 credits. Every girl desires to look her best and the life of a girl is greatly influenced by the way she dresses. In this course a student is taught the type of clothes suitable to her personality, coloring and figure. Students learn to apply the fundamentals of plain sewing with treadle and electric machines, the use of and alteration of commercial patterns, the selection and buying of materials, and study of textiles. When a girl starts to sew the instructor has to take into consideration the amount of sewing she has done, then she starts on a garment suited to her ability, so a wide range of garments are made. Fabrics and Dress 2 is a continuation of Fabrics and Dress I and its main purpose is to acquire a greater skill. Fabrics and Dress 3 classes are taught tailoring in gar¬ ments such as suits and coats. The textile study includes identification of all fabrics and a particular study of the synthetic fibres and other unusual textiles. A study of period costumes, millinery, and lace making form a major part of the theory course. These three courses in Fabrics and Dress, taught by Miss Bell, are popular, and considered well worth while for a girl’s future. HOME - MAKING The Home-Making course offers practice in preparing palatable and attractive foods, using variations of standard food recipes. Skill is developed in the planning, preparation and serving of family meals. Also, the planning of afternoon teas, buffet and plate lunches. One has a brief study of first-aid in emergencies, and simple home care of the sick. The care and laundering of various textiles is also taught. The girls are instructed in personal appearance, good manners, health character, and home life. You may obtain one quarter of your high school credits by taking the three years of homemaking that are offered. ARTS AND CRAFTS The Arts and Crafts course, worth eight credits toward your high school diploma, is a very interesting one for either boys or girls. In the first semester it is taught by Miss Heywood and in the second semester by Mrs. Huss. Here art principles, color, decoration, color schemes and rudiments of architec¬ ture form a basis for study. Many and varied crafts are executed including leather- work, metalwork, wood-work, textile painting and stencilling, lino block cuts, tie dying, shell work, bookbinding, soap carving and wood carving.
