Preparation Is Made for Future Life This year the first year classes have learned to cook and sew, and have also studied family re¬ lations and personal grooming. The second year classes learned in addition to these arts, first aid, home nursing, and the care of young children. Third year home economics, offered for the second time, gave a course in preparation for mar¬ riage, even planning and holding a mock wedding and reception. After studying home-planning and management, the girls made scrapbooks to be used in later years when they would become real homemakers „ Can they cook or can ' t they? Only Miss Foster knows for sure. At least Patti Atkins, Bonnie Phillippe, and Sally Haislip are trying. MISS HARRIET L. FOSTER Home Economics Longwood College B. S. MRS. DOROTHY G.
