t, a The 1939 Willamizzou it e HOME ECONOMICS This year the Sewing Class boasts an enrollment of 30 and the Cooking Class 18. The total of 48 is the largest enrollment the Home Economics depart- ment has had for several years. It has been necessary that both classes be divided into two groups. The Sewing girls have made simple things such as tea towels, aprons, and slips and progressed to dresses, childrenis clothes, housecoats, wool suits, etc. They plan to put some of their work on exhibit this spring. The Cooking Class has made many very delicious things to eat such as breads, cakes, pies, salads and they have cooked many vegetables. Demonstrations were given by each member of the class but those given by Mrs. Grimes were probably best tbut the girls hate to admit iti. Some of the Cooking girls served at a P.T.A. meeting and some gave a ban- quet for the teachers and board members. Both classes were entertained at Mrs. Grimes' home Christmas and both. plan to entertain the Vocational Agriculture boys with an ice cream supper near the end of school. COMMERCE The commercial course includes four subjects; shorthand, typewriting book- keeping, and general business. The students in the commercial classes feel that they have really accomplish- ed something that will be worth-while in future years to them. A few students have struggled under the guidance of Miss Lorene .Masnor and have completed two books; the Gregg Manual and tiGregg Speed Stutiies. Some of the students took notes at the annual Ozark Music Festival and with the help of their teacher had the judges criticisms ready for the different schools a few minutes after the contest was over. The bookkeeping class has worked out four practice sets that gave us train- ing in the use of business papers and we learned a great deal about sales, invoices, purchases, inventories, notes, checks; deposit slips, pass books, and business me- thods. These practice sets proved very interesting even if some of our trial balances would not always balance. The general business class got down to work this year, they undertook and conquered a practice set. Which proved to be very interesting. While studying mail we visited the post office and was shown around by the employees. A better knowledge of how mail is handled was gained by each one present. Everyone seems to enjoy typing. A few of our group have made sixty and even seventy-five on speed tests; therefore attaining for themselves a place in the hall of fame. They are Jo Lovan, Leland Boles, Lloyd Blakely, Frances McPhail with sixty and Coralee Burchard with seventy-five.
