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
