ni -QRNH VTPATIONAL WOMVMAYLNG iomemaking may be defined as the methods by which provi ion 1S r ce for the needs of the family roup It involv s a study of the I m lf we live with, the house we lite in the food we eat the clothes ue wear, and our relationships to e ch other in our homes and to the people in our community This year twenty five girls were enrolled in homemaklng classes in upon their own specific needs and inter st The girls in the advanced group spent several weeks on a unit of family relationships and the Y care and guldance of children in the home This unit proved very in teresting and worth while In February, this group entertained the board of education and their wives at a George Washington dinner Q During the month of March the girls enrolled in vocational home making and the bovs enrolled in vocational agriculture exchanged classes This was a rather unique change in schedule, but it was succe sful one The girls under Mr Sawyer's supervision, studied and practiced wood crafts learned to repair furniture discussed home appliances, and studied gardening The boys, under the direction of Miss Wischmeier studied social courte ies in a unit, nRules of the Game W Thev learned to make wise cnoices in selecting and buying their clothes,and they proved that they could prepare and serve meals At the end of the erchenge unit both classes working together planned and served a chicken dinner The girls served as hostesses and the boys were hosts To climax the year's work in clothing construction a style show, WAround the Clocku will be presented The girls will model projects they have made in class and also the garments they made at home as a part of their home experiences The models will appear we ring fash ions suit ble for different hours of the day, as indicated by the hanh of the clocx. In order to provide practical training for future homemakers each virl is required, as a part of the homemakin program, to complete a home experience Each g1rl selects a problem in her home, and with the help of her family and teacher works on it until she feels it has been successfully completed. Some of the experiences completed this year were planning ward- robes for the Senior trip, budgeting personal expense accounts, plan- ning the wiring and buying electrical equipment for a farm home, room redecoration, gardening, food preparation, and garment construction. The Sophomore and Junior girls will continue working on their experi- ences during the summer. Thus, each girl develops ability and judgment in assuming a part of the responsibility of the home, and the work in the classroom is keyed to the activities in the home. gg'- T 'o1I .
