It .A 'XJ Home Economics The Home Economics Club was organized for the purpose of serving others, so that our social functions are few save when, by having them, we can be helpful to others. The Hrst meeting of the Home Economics Club was held in October, and the girls who had taken or were taking sewing and foods courses were eligible for membership. Election of oflicers was held at this meeting with the following results: president, Jean Michelson, vice-president, Catherine Netzg secretary-treasurer, jane Bates. At our next two or three meetings we developed plans for our annual Christmas party at Howell Neighborhood House. Our Santa Claus this year was Beryl Brown, and Mrs. Santa Claus was enacted by Jean Howard. This year the Social Welfare Club assisted us in carrying through our plan, that of entertaining about forty children of kinder- garten age by giving them a tree, dolls and toys, and candy and cookies. We extend our appreciation to the Social Welfaire Club and also the sophomore class for helping us. This annual party is always a delight to the girls who give it, and the pleasure that the children find in this pleasant occasion is reward enough for the time and work spent on the party. In connection with the party, we held a contest for the most appealing doll which had been dressed by a Starrett girl. Lois Atwood, a sophomore, won the prize which was a box of candies and cookies made by the foods girls. Each May, the foods girls give a series of dinners for the faculty. The dinners given this year were exceptionally successful and were greatly enjoyed, as they always are, by the faculty. The girls planned, prepared, and served these dinners thus giving them practical experience in housewifery. The Style Show given by the clothing girls at the end of the school year is a work of artg garments from pajamas to formals are made and modeled by the girls and are ex- tremely attractive as well as being examples of fine workmanship. The most outstanding feature is the children's group, ranging in ages from one year to six years, which models outfits made by the clothing girls. The Home Economics Group, though small, has been a particularly loyal group to the traditions set by past Home Economics Club groups. The standards set by the Home Economics Club of 1933 will be diflicult to attain, and will always remain a challenge to oncoming groups.
