FUTURE HOMEMAKERS ACQUIRE SKILLS The home economics department, better known as home ec, trains students, both boys and girls, in the skills of homemaking. Its courses range from the science of child care to the art of cooking and from home nursing to clothing. How many times have you passed the home ec room on the second floor and smelled the pleasant aromas coming from the steaming stoves where future homemalters were striving to excel in the culinary arts? Learning how to plan a well balanced meal as well as learning how to cook it properly constitutes a major part of the curriculum ol' the course. In a nearby room the sound of sewing mach- ines can be heard and garments can be seen all over the room in various stages of completion, Upstairs, in a home nursing class, a patient is having her bedding changed by practicing nurses. In a child care class, pupils are learning how to cope with problems that may confront them when they become parents. All these scenes are the home ec department in action and all are part ol' a typical day, x Miss Irene Knox A t Stntlenls wait for a bite of the delicious coffee cake being cut by Miss Knox.

Under the three-fold plan of instruction, embracing instrumental, vocal, and :iutlitory training, the students, under the tli- rection of Mr. Harmon Nicodemus, learn to ap- preciate classical music.
