The United States Census Bureau tells us that eighty per cent of all girls marry within five years after grad- uation from high school. That means that before long each Sewanhaka girl graduate will probably have the role of American Homemaker. That is the reason for the importance of the Home Economics Department, whose most important aim is that of encouraging good home and family relations. S. H.

Its many courses, which are designed to meet the needs of all youth, try to develop ability in nu- merical and spatial relationships so that it may serve each individual effectively in his field of endeavor. The intensive four year program offered by this department is designed to train students for mathe- matics scholarships. Science, the field of ever-increasing importance in our modern world, is consequently a department of major importance here at Sewanhaka. The obiective of the department is to provide fundamental informa- tion on the Physical and Biological sciences as applied to our daily living. There are also several available opportunities of- fered by the department for scholarships and awards for outstanding students. H. s. sclfeivce First-irow-Hffllr.
