General School History Minnie Cummings, Ellen Ruth Ure, Rose White, and parties given by the Patrick ' s Day As the class of 1919 left an account of their graduation exercises in their Year Book it IS not necessary for us to retell their work. 1 hat following summer nothing of great importance happened and in the fall school started off in earnest. There were ten girls in the Senior class. These girls being very ambitious, immediately directed all their interests to their school work. This wonderful class of 1920 included Anna Bradley, Mane Foster, Helen Giles. Ethel Knowlton, Bernice Smith, Margaret Wilson and Nelle Ruff. 1 he main entertainments of this year were the spreads day pupils of the Senior class, including the mock wedding and the St party, which were two of the most successful events. Toward the close of the year many recitals were given by the pupils of the music department. On Graduation day Dr. Ure addressed the class on the Broader Vision, for us a never-to-be-forgotten inspiration, given to a class he had loved because of his one daughter ' s interests here for the four years. We then lunched together at the Chit- tenden and said good-bye. In spite of the smallness and uniqueness of this class of 1 92 1 , the spirit was one to be remembered. There was first the president, Helen Glass; vice-president, Naomi Bryan; secretary. Corinne Ross; treasurer, Mildred Jenkins. In their first days they started out with their colors high having chosen old rose and silver. The Sophomores surprised them with a Hallowe ' en party in their honor. Next the Juniors gave them a luncheon at Grace Petit ' s home; this was followed by a theater party at the Majestic. The next happening was a Senior theater party at Keiths followed by a spread at the home of Helen Glass. The mid-term examinations arrived and everyone held her breath as the grades were announced, but all were most fortunate. The rest of the year passed in a quiet manner. In the spring graduation was hailed with joy and with sorrow for Wallace days were nearly ended. On Sunday the baccalaureate was given by Rev. Pocock. Graduation Day arrived, and the four, dressed in white, carrying roses and lillies of the valley went down the aisle at Carnegie Library, and after an interesting address by Dr. Burnett were presented their diplomas. Dr. Eagleson dismissed us with his blessing. An innovation comes this year in way of a Camp School to be established at Toms River, New Jersey. Last year Miss Lue travelled and studied with a small company of girls, spending the greater part of the summer at Toms River. This is a quiet, restful place, six miles from the ocean, where mornings were spent in study, or craft work, and the remainder of the day in bathing, hiking, driving, or in play of some sort. The summer proved so interesting that this year a real camp for work and play is to be established. Miss Ruth White will be the director and Miss Wallace will assist. Mornings will be given to supervised work, and afternoons and evenings to all the interesting out-door life furnished by pines, river, bay and ocean. Mr. Mitnitzky will be in attendance to direct mornings of work in piano and history of music. Week-end trips will be taken, and many interesting places will be visited by the Ohio party on the way to and from the camp. M. D. ' 22. 37

1 he Nutrition Class The Nutrition Class was organized October, 1921, at the Wallace School for the purpose of knowing how to prepare foods and why and when to use them. The class started as an expernnent under the dnection of the Home Economics Department of Ohio State University. Believing that girls of today, who become the home makers of to- morrow, need to know much about the choice of foods and adequate diets and that after a study of these subjects they are more fitted for their coming problem, the experiment became quite an interesting and vital one. 1 o make the work more real, each girl kept her own weight chart, faithfully weighing herself and studying her own needs whether it were an overweight or underweight problem. Sometimes butter and sweets were added to the diet and sometimes taken away. After a period of five weeks we were given recipe books and by guidance and the application of certain fundamental food principles, the preparation of food became a secondary subject although not an unimportant one. Meals were planned and pre- pared for a normal six year old boy, for a father, for an overweight girl and many other possible cases. Attention was given to spending for the best food and the wisest pro- portionment for an adequate diet. Oh, yes, we heard of vitamins and calories and proteins but these were not labor- ious terms, nor were they frequently used. Several parties were given during the year. One was especially novel. Each girl in our class determined the amount of food she required and a meal was planned and served at which the overweights could be satisfied and the underweights found sufficient food. We served the dinner to six guests and to our class. Quite the prettiest party of the year was the Faculty Party. We decorated the tables, made the favors, planned, prepared and served the dinner. The favors were sweet peas in a flower pot. The guests were Mrs. Fairbanks, Mrs. Merritt, Miss Fland- ers, Mr. and Mrs. Scott, Miss Luella Wallace, Miss Virgiha Wallace, Miss Walker, Miss Nason, Miss Pratt, Mrs. White and Miss White. The class was composed of ten girls but for several reasons, only six continued throughout the two semesters, there being Nelle Schneider, Gene Wilson, Margaret Dick- erson, Clara Wallace, Hazel Walters and Geneva White. Ruth White of Ohio Slate University taught the class. G. W. 38
