The Home Economics Tea In Home Economics this year the girls had a lot of fun planning and presenting a Home Economics tea, in honor of Christmas for their parents and fac- ulty. The girls worked very hard to prepare cook- ies, candies, and other delicious things to eat. The sewing classes also participated by presenting a fashion show, in which they modeled the clothing which they had made themselves. The guests en- joyed it Very much, and it was a chance for the girls to practice being a good hostess. The purpose of the Home Economics classes is to teach the girls to use a kitchen, he a good host- ess, and sew. They also received information and advice on childcare and other necessary household skills. 'l i MRS. HARRIET HARRINGTON Cooking MRS. HELEN BROWN Sewing

English Talks! In Mrs. Taylors room this year, she decided to make communication her main theme. Whether it was in the form of written or Verbal expression, she encouraged their creativeness. Learning to listen and interpret what others say was also a part of the com- munication course. It may seem strange, but in back of Mrs. Banks room, 216, there was a tree named Fred. It was an experiment in open class where nothing is really uni- form. The students try to improve in areas Where they feel there is a need, or try something which is of interest to them. The tree was named after Fred Dornbos, who was kind enough to donate it. The students Worked very hard to restore the furniture which they gathered to give the room a homey look. Mrs. Steele was at it again, trying to make her room totally different to any other in the school with posters, signs, and mobils, all donated by students to beautify Robinson. Mrs. Steele has definitely done it again. This year We caught Mrs. Kimmel cutting class- es! Actually, she took a short vacation and went to Europe. We're glad she had a nice time. She ought to have some interesting stories to tell to her Lati.n classes!
