Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Schaefer of McHenry were guests Saturday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Matthews. Wheh one mentions Home Economics people often restrict it to courses in cooking and sewing, but it .has, however, a much broader scope. Miss Justen stresses the fact most emphatically that her class is not a cooking class, but a "foods" class, a real science in which the value of If Fatty Berg, seventeen-year-old golf star of Minneapolis, continues to win tournaments she is likely to become the leading woman Ih the game.

I Home Economics also includes j clothing, which, more than merely l teaching the girls to sew, rfFul to make clothes, also teaches them color har- • mony, how to appreciate the beautiful, ' helps them to> acquire good taste and i the knowledge of fabrics with the study of home furnishing, as well as I good taste in selecting materials. - Required Subject Foods is a required subject at the high school and is taken by the Freshman girls as a part of their science course. Clothing is not a required subject, although a very popular one at the local high school, where a more advanced course known as "Clothing 2" is being taught for the first time this year, in addition to the beginners or "Clothing 1" course Miss Justen finds it easy and pleasant to work with the girls, especially in the clothing courses as girls of high school age are always interested in .themselves and their appearance and are always, ready to discuss personality and charm and to study how to dress to best bring out these quali ties. They are also taught how to buy wisely and to appreciate real quality rather than quantity in clothes. From the study of simple stitches and making of easy garments, the girls rapidly advance until in the second year they learn to make suits, dresses and more complicated articles land are now engrossed with knitting suits and sweaters. This fall Miss Justen took a course at the Art Institute in Interior Decoration and she is commencing to teach this in the .Clothing 2 course. This teaches color harmony and other points as desirable in clothes *s in homes. • These instructions " in clothing promote a jrreater tendency to sew among the girls as well as to promote greater individuality in the choice Of clothes. In creating a desire for bejljity the Vogue magazine is an imrtant factor, giving ideas in arrangements of beauty and good taste. In the olden days mothers made everything in the home and luv^vi carded the • wo< 1. and spun materials but tuilay mutlieis du nut 1 taKw tliv | time to teach their childreft how to sew or cook and because of this the high school course is a most desirable one. • •'.. Child Feeding in the study of child feeding' the Foods class has undertaken a special project this year in preparing1 and; planning the food for a special diet case from the grade school. i Two girls are assigned to the work each week and are most interested in ; planning and preparing food for the noon-day meal of their subject, whom' tfhey are happy to siee responding to the nourishment provided in the food they prepare. The study of foods and those needed for a well-balanced diet recommending the use of fruits, vegetables and milk, is perhaps the most important part of the foods course. f The foods course is divided into five units, breakfast, luncheon, dinner, general, which includes, marketing^ courtesy, serving, equipment, etc., and miscellaneous, which includes food for the sick, food for children, food preservation, etc. Three lecture periods and. two double periods for laboratory work, corresponding to the lectures, alio# sufficient time for instruction in the course. . Real Experience Real experience is acquired dturinif •the year's work, for the girls are divided into groups of four or six and each group prepares and serves a> meal to their guests, who are th§ other members of the class. Miss Justen and her students ai»o have charge of the several banquets served at the high school during the year, including the Boy Scout banquet,' which they have already accomplished for this year, and the Athletic banquet to take place on March 12. They also have at least one formal tea ana usually some time in the spring the girls putt on a style show and tea. Miss Justen, wfto is accomplishing some valuable results in her high school work, not the least of which is character building, is a McHenry girl and a graduate of tJhe McHenry high school. She received her cum laude degree in Home Economics at ST Mary's college fet Notre Dame in 1933. ° ^ Miss Justen says: "The value of Home Economics is as yet not fully appreciated and it is our problem to make its value significant. It's .aim is to increase human happiness. The. course is not intended to produce just the functional activities, but it is intended to produce higher ideals, a wider appreciation of family life and all that it stands for." > Home Economics is the science which is intimately connected with 'the successful function of the family S life and the home. It has gone far beyond the mere learning of how to cook and sew. j In the high school course of food and nutrition the students learn the value of different foods in . the diet, learn to secure an adequate diet and the dangers in diet deficiencies as Well as learning how to cook foods correctly. They learn how to buy economically, not in terms of amount, but value, they receive a knowledge of marketing, meal planning and correct table service. ,, 'KlJlothes, also," Miss Jus&eh states, "has an inestimable value in promoting the welfare of the family. The student learns how to analyze his needs, determine? values, is able to judge the suitability of fabrics to his needs, determine values to seek when buying, acquires good taste as well as knowing how to construct clothes. "The course^, also considers the home itself, house conditions, hotiseplanning, home-keeping."
