SMILES FOR FROWNS If for some reason the magic wand of health is not in our full possession there is an inner chamber in our school where many health secrets are disclosed. And the secrets whispered to those whonheed aid in the banishment of defects. ' Pounds come on 01' pounds go off as directions are followed. Pale checks become red. Poor postures are corrected. The health aid, rest, is possible for those who need it and milk and wafers are always ready for those who wish. We iE11'CiiI1t1'OClL1CCCl to the magic properties of milk, orange juice and leafy vegetables. Dull eyes are brightened. Frowning faces become smiling ones and grouchy dispositions are exchanged in this chamber for happy, cheerful ones. HAPPY HOME MAKING The food classes have enjoyed their lovely new rooms with all of the modern equipment more than can be expressed. The many visitors have made the girls feel that they have two very well equipped rooms. Splendid Work has been done by the girls and a great deal of value has been carried over into the homes as is testified by the verbal expressions and notes received by the teachers from parents. Food posters showing unusual merit and have been loaned out to broad- cast their telling messages. About fifty dollars has been made by the girls to be used in the furnishings of the demonstration dining room. Already silver candle holders flower bowls, and material for curtains have been purchased and a fund set aside for the starting of a nice set of china as a project. This has been done by a few food sales which were very popular and gave the girls a chance to work with larger quantities. Wlieii school lunches were being studied, a Japanese girl put a Japanese lunch on display which was very beautiful, as well as instructive. Before the year ends it is hoped that the art of making real Italian raviolis will have been learned. A Spanish luncheon with' the color scheme and table decorations, as well as the food, carrying out the idea was an attractive event. The girls are receiving information concerning foods and an interest 'is aroused which should make them alert, thrifty and valuable home-helpers. Amzual, 1928 MAID'S DAY OFF VVhen it's the maid's day off l'm allowed 'to cook. Then I can puff out my chest and show mother something she hadn't ever thought of before. To smell the delicious odors, to have the fun of cooking and then to tell Daddy I did it all by my self-that's why I like maid's day off. Pauline Hawkins, B8 Ninety-one
