Bessie May Allen - 1949
Picture (36x22, 251 bytes)iss Allen, in charge of the Home Economics Department, is the senior woman of the faculty. She is interested in doing fancywork, (she is teaching Mr. Jenkins at present), playing solitaire, and seeing good shows. She loves to travel, and has covered Europe, the U.S., Alaska, and Canada. Incidentally, she was a Latin teacher before taking up Home Economics.

There will be a minor offered in Home Economics, and those already enrolled as a major will finish up as such. At present there are about forty or fifty enrolled as either a major or minor. The graduates of this department are always well placed and make good.

Miss Meston plays piano accompaniments for her real hobby. It might have been her profession if she hadn't become interested in Home Economics. She likes to travel around in "Henrietta," her Ford. She has visited the East and West, spending three full school years in New York.

Miss Wilson like to travel in out-of-the-way places. Some of her most interesting travels took her to Guatemala, the Honduras, Panama, Mexico, and, of course, throughout most of the U.S. and Canada. She enjoys air travel, her apartment, and outdoor sports. Coins and stamps fascinate her, and in her travels she has had an opportunity to start quite a collection.

*The Iris, 1940
