0 HOME ECONOMICS HOMK ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT The Home Economics Department changed its course of study this year of 1927 and 1928 to meet the modem needs of the girls. A new course was offered to the Sophomore girls in their second semester work. It was introduced to help fit the girl to meet the social and home demands. The course is divided into units, the first one being “The Girl as a itiember of Society”. The four other units take up “The Girl in the Home”. Four senior girls are also enrolled in this course. Other subjects studied are: Infant hygiene, sewing, selection of clothing, house furnishing, cooking, marketing, outdoor or camp cookery, dietetics, laundering and entertaining. In connection with their Domestic Science work the girls went on some very interesting field trips, such as visiting the Woolen Mills and the Tri-State Ice Cream factory. There are a number of accomplishments that will long be remembered by the Home Economics girls. They purchased infant hygiene equipment that will be used by future classes. One of the sewing classes completed the project of making the layette. The girls took turns serving the boys’ 4-H Club after meetings. Other practice in entertaining was derived from a St. Patrick feature party and assisting with a 6 o’clock dinner for the basket ball boys, given by the senior girls. In order to receive practical experience in the problem of house furnishing, a girls bedroom was decorated. Much of a girl's school life, and a great share of her life after school brings her in contact with other people. She looks out of the school room windows and sees a world which wants her services in a variety of fields. Hundreds of opportunities to do important work in the world are spread before her, and thousands of girls are accepting these opportunities. For this reason every girl should be given somewhat of an understanding of just what opportunities are open to her so that she may decide which she would like best. She must be taught how to take her place in society as well as in the home. Therefore her subjects of study must change to keep up with the advancing demands made upon her by the world of today. MY IDEAL HIGH SCHOOL BOY My ideal high school boy should be tall, well developed, with brownish hair, blue eyes, tanned skin, and white teeth that flash when he smiles. He must wear clothes that are becoming to his type. While he is at school 1 should like to have him wear sport clothes, although of course when the occasion presents itself he must wear a dress suit. My ideal high school boy must be neat in appearance, keeping his clothes brushed, hair well groomed and nails clean, having good posture and walking with an air of grace and dignity. As to school activities he must be athletic, participating in sports of all kinds with a spirit of good sportsmanship, co-operating with other members of the team when playing a game. If the game is lost he must be a good loser, and if a game is won he must be a good winner. He should be able to dance moderaely well without making dancing his hobby. He must not devote all his time and attentions to one girl but be a companion to all of them. As to character and manners, his character must be above reproach. He must be courteous and show respect for his elders and particularly his mother. He must have a knack for entertaining little children as well as being of interest to older people. He should be able to talk of world affairs as well as of basket ball and athletics. He must be friendly to all classes of people, rich and poor alike, for as one poet says. ‘‘If vou want to have friends, be one.” My ideal high school boy must be ambitious, spending part of his leisure hours earning money. He should not gossip about fellow students, and he must appreciate the work of his teachers for him. I should also like my ideal high school boy to pass in all his classes with a moderately high grade, and last but not least he must be a good Christian attending church with his family. In short, my ideal high school boy must be morally clean, mentally awake, and physically fit. Edna Fleischman MY IDEA OF AN IDEAL H. S. GIRL My idea of an ideal high school girl is one who possesses a fine personality. Personality is a matter of choice, or of many choices of ideals working together to make a whole. She must have a soft pleasing voice an«l an even temper. She should wear becoming clothes. She must not be richly dressed, but neat and attractive, wearing the appropriate thing for the occasion. Her hair must be kept well groomed. She should have a clear rosy complexion. She must have good posture and carriage. She must be careful to wear only the necessary accessories. My ideal high school girl must be an athlete, taking part in the various activies as skating, swimming and basket ball. She must have good table manners. “Eat at your own table as you would at the table of a king.” She must have good manners and be courteous. “The secret of courtesy is thoughtfulness.” It would be well to know how to dance, but she must dance without a craze for dancing. She should be a friend of both girls and boys, and if she is a friend she must hold no grudges. She must remember that her relationship with boys should be no more than friends; there must be no romances. She should mention the good deeds of people, and let the bad deeds remain unspoken. My ideal high school girl must partake in some religious activity such as attending church reguatiy. Plutarch says, “If we traverse the world, it is possible to find cities without walls, without letters, without kings, without wealth, without coins, without schools and theatres, but a city without a temple, or that prac-ticeth not worship, prayer, and the like, no one ever saw.” My ideal high school girl must also know how to work with her hands. She must know how to make bread as well as fudges. She must know how to use the needle skillfully. She must have a good physique. Physique is the build of the body. She must be patriotic, Consequently it would be advisable for her to take part in an activity such as Girl Scouts. In her leisure time she might attend educational plays and shows as “Ben Hur”, “What Price Glory”, and lecture courses. She must be able to associate with her elders as well as the younger children. She should show the same amount of respect at home as elsewhere. This would be a girl that her parents would adore, and the world would love to bow before. Alvena Jones
