HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT The aim of the Home Economics class of today is to be practical. Its suggestions as to the best ways of house keeping are clean and sanitary, and its advice in the care and preparation of wholesome foods is to the point. They are such as may be used in all homes. The first semester we learned to can fruit and vegetables by the cold pack method. and we learned to make several kinds of butter and appetizing dishes. During the first semester we attended the Athens’ Messenger Cooking School, under the direction of Mrs. G. O. Thurns. The class served lunches for two days for the Farmers' Institute, and one day for the Fruit Growers' Meeting. We served noon lunch each day to the teachers and pupils. The girls are divided into groups for this purpose, each group serving on certain days. We also made several articles including, aprons, headbands, handkerchiefs, slips, potholders. pillowcases, curtains, pajamas, night gowns, cushion tops, covered coat hangers, spring dresses and painted articles. Our teacher had us make note books, and in these we put various pictures of evening, sport, house, and street dresses. We also had Dictures of shoes, sheets, curtains. pillowcases, and various kinds of laces. We keot a diary and expense sheet of the year, besides the things we had bought and the various recipes Miss Apger gave us. The class has painted cases for flowers. We have drawn pictures of everything we have made and pasted samples of the same in our note-books. We have drawn pictures of our bedrooms, the sewing room and kitchen, and these are kept in our notebooks. Home Economics is one of the most important classes we think, because it is essential that every girl should know how to cook and sew. Thus, the Home Economics' Course is verv beneficial, and all of us girls have enjoyed the work Miss Apger provided for us to do. and we feel that we have progressed rapidly. Page twenty-nine
