W e girls are becoming acquainted with the fundamentals of homemaking. W e had no idea that this homemalling business was so complicated. Af,- agp Then comes the' fun of cooking our dinner. We carefully read our recipe, get our materials ready, and correctly measure and mix everything. It is so easy to do something wrong. Donna Daniels is taking a fudge cake from the oven while Janet Pritzker and Helen Foos put the pieces of cake on a plate. Meal planning is very important. There is more to serving a dinner than we realized. The menu must he made, the recipes for the preparation of food must be found, and the grocery list has to be made. After this is done we plan our table setting. We had no idea our mothers had so much to do. Anna Hatch is at the hoard, and Karen Harkleroad, Cheryl Pugh, Jamie Pierce, and Judy Linhoss are at the table. 'QU six Here we are: Cheryll Weeks, Carole Pearson, Lynette Gilman, ,loan Krasner, Libby Simonlon, Sandra Weisiger. Our class planned, prepared, and served a tea for the faculty on Valentine's Day.

Clothes are very important to all girls. So we learn to make them, keep them, and wear them. Putting the pattern on the material seems a simple thing to do unt.il you try doing it. We study the instructions on the pattern and then pin the pattern onto the material. With fear and trembling we pick up the scissors and begin cutting. We wonder if we will ever get this jig-saw puzzle put together. While Carol Fox and Marolynn Patterson are cutting out a dress, Cathy Whatley is sewing her dress up. Linda Parks fits Joy Johnson's blouse. I F R In our sewing class our clothes became very interest- ing to us. Materials, colors, and patterns suddenly became important. Sometimes we buy a pattern, then shop for the proper material. Then again we buy the material and then shop for a pattern. Genia Henderson and Rhonda Helm are really enjoying choosing a pat- tern for a blouse. Gayle Leech has already started sewing on her blouse. Xxif. We are very proud of the work done in sewing class by Sandra Weisiger, Joan Krasner, Lynnda Stieglitz, Ida Lebovitz, and Libby Simonton. Their garments are beautifully made and nicely finished. - 55 -in
