Have you ever passed by a lab
in the back of the Science Build
ing and smelled such enticing
odors that you wanted to go in,
or seen a girl knitting or making
a dress and wished that you had
I time to do such things? All of us
I probably have, but we know
these girls who cook and sew are
not just doing it for leisure. They
are taking interesting home eco
nomics courses.
A wide variety of courses is
found in the home-ec. depart
ment, including textiles and
clothing, foods and cooking from
which the good aromas come, tai
loring in which beautiful suits
and coats are made, and the
“bride’s course,” an elective in
which girls learn to select and
prepare attractive foods with the
clever ideas of Miss Brewer. A
very attractive feature of this
department is the practice house
which is like a five-room apart
ment. In their senior year home
ec. majors, four at a time, live
there, are hostesses, do all the
shopping, cleaning, and plan
ning, and cook all the meals.
I From glances we get of the
'pretty, neat bedrooms, the cozy
kitchen, and the dining room
Iwith its snowy white tablecloth,
i clear crystal, china, and silver,
I it looks like a mighty inviting
! place.
All in all, the home-ec. de
partment, with Miss Brewer and
I Miss Hanyen as the staff, is cer
tainly a good one of which to be
! proud. It plays an important role
on our campus.
