 ith the opening of school last fall, 1915, Stevens Point Normal
surpassed all former records made in the enrollment in the Domestic Science Department. People are becoming
aware of the fact that this normal is offering an excellent course in Domestic Science, as is manifested by the
attendance of so many students from all parts of the state. During the course of the year the department's
name was changed to Home Economics by the Board of Normal School Regents. The department of this year has many
advantages over that of last year. In the first place we have the new addition. It contains modern
laboratories, sewing rooms, kitchens, pantries, dining, reception, exhibit and lecture rooms, and offices.
The large kitchen is finished entirely in white. The floor is of white tile and to prevent noise, the cookery
girls were informed to have rubber heels on their shoes. The dining room has a beautiful built-in china
closet. It is furnished in mission furniture and the rug is of brown. The reception room is also furnished in
mission furniture. Work that we do in the department is put into practical use in the John Francis Sims
Cottages. The work in our department has grown so rapidly that three new teachers have been employed. Miss
Luce teaches cookery; Miss Logren teaches both sewing and cookery, and lastly Miss Schaumberg has charge of the
sewing. Miss Tupper, who came to us last year, teaches millinery and advanced sewing. Miss Allen, our
supervisor of the entire department, observes our practice work besides conducting classes in Cookery 3,
Dietetics and Organization. The Home Economics girls take part in other lines of activities in the school.
The presidents of the two literary societies, of the Treble Clef Club, of the Senior Class, and of the Y.W.C.A.
are all of our number. The treasurer of the Senior Class, Secretary and Treasurer of the Junior Class and the
Editor-In-Chief of the Iris are also Home Economics people. Frequent exhibits were given during the year of the
sewing and millinery work. Our services were given to many social functions during the year. The completion of
the new dormitory will offer many excellent opportunities for new lines of work. We, as Seniors, bequeath this
pleasure to the classes to follow.
