ROUND-UP -.'- 1927 PERSONAL HYGIENE To meet the growing demand for skilled operators in beauty shops, the Home Economics Department offers exceptionally line courses in both Trade and Personal Hygiene. Under the supervision of Miss French, the girls in the Trade Hy- giene class are trained in the operation of different types of appar- atus, marcelling, haircutting, manicuring, facial massages and many phases of beauty culture. For small fees, the girls operate on mem- bers of the faculty and students, thus acquiring valuable experience. By satisfactorily completing four periods of work for two years, the students of this Vocational course receive duly accredited Smith- Hughes diplomas, certifying that they are efficient operators. For those girls wishing merely to obtain a Home Economics credit, another class in Personal Hygiene is conducted. Here, although the work offered is simpler than that of the Vocational Course, beneficial instruction is given. From this course a working knowledge of the elements of beauty hygiene, both for the students' and friends' use, is derived, the girls learning how best they may take care of them- selves. TRADE SEWING One of the most important of the Vocational courses at Roose- velt is Trade Sewing offered by the Home Economics Department un- der the direction of Mrs. Davis, which offers training for girls as power machine operators, dressmakers, or costume designers. With the arrival of new equipment, the progress of the Trade Sew- ing classes has been marked. Here girls are trained, by the most modern methods, to operate power machines and to become hemstitch- ers, dressmakers, or alteration workers. Classes are organized and managed like factories, students doing order work, fashioning gar- ments from the customer's material. The Vocational Dressmaking class, a continuation of the work in Trade Sewing, under the supervision of Mrs. Bedard, offers instruc- tion in advanced dressmaking. Work is carried on as it would be in a shop, the girls not only being taught how to make dresses, but are also required to draft and cut their own patterns. In this way they gain much useful experience. The elements of design, style, and line are also studied and applied. To those girls who satisfactorily complete these courses there are many excellent openings that lead to remunerative position, for the field of Vocational Sewing is unlimited to skilled workers.
