 The work of the semester is in full sway. The Juniors clad in white are very
enthusiastic about cookery, while the Seniors are bringing the latest styles West by making their skirts ten inches
from the floor.
Eleven new students enrolled in this department at the beginning of the semester. Miss Adie Hansen completed her
course and is now at her home in Withee.
The Senior Home Economics girls decided to lend their aid to the National Home Economics Association in the effort to
obtain money to engage a paid secretary. The association has been greatly in need of a full time secretary. They
gave a matinee dance and held sandwich sales and were so successful that they contributed $50 to the fund. This
is the largest amount yet turned in by any organization in the state of Wisconsin. We are trying to live up to the
standard President Sims has set for us.
Last November at Milwaukee, the Wisconsin State Home Economics Association was organized. A committee is busy
drawing up a constitution which will enable this organization to become a part of the Wisconsin State Teachers'
Association and also to affiliate with the National Home Economics Association. We hope that all of our seniors
and alumni will become members of this organization.
The department has this year started a noon lunch, served in the Dietetics room. The first semester the Seniors
took charge of planning and serving of the lunches, and they were assisted by members of the Rural Cookery class.
This semester it is to be managed by the Rural Cookery class and the Juniors. The work is under the supervision of
Miss Wilson and Miss Meston. This is a benefit to faculty and students who find it necessary to remain at school
during the noon hour, and it also furnishes the girls of the cookery classes valuable experience in lunch room
management.
The Wisconsin River Valley Home Economics club will hold its third regular meeting at the Normal school on Saturday,
February 26. This club was organized with Lucille Daley '14 as president, and Marie Zimmerli '17 as secretary. All
Home Economics teachers in this district are urged to be present at this meeting. A fifty cent lunch will be served
at one o'clock by a group of H.E. seniors with Lolieta Dishmaker as chairman.
At the January meeting of the Home Economics club, Miss Zimmerli gave a very interesting demonstration on candy
making. It was enjoyed and appreciated by all present; and those who were not there may rest assured that they
missed something as everyone was given the opportunity to sample the products.
