 ne of the two newcomers to the home economics department this year is
Miss Ethel V. Hill. In addition to her duties as an instructor at Central State, she is the new
director of the home management house. Miss Hill, whose hometown is Ashland, Wisconsin, is a former
graduate of Central State. She also attended the University of Wisconsin and Columbia University,
where she received her master�s degree. She has previously taught at high schools in Green Lake,
Eagle River, and Ashland, Wisconsin. In addition she has served as home demonstration agent of
Pierce and Clark counties. Back at the University of Wisconsin she held the position of state
assistant 4-H leader for four years. This is her first experience with a home management set-up
such as Central State has, but, Miss Hill says, �I feel fortunate in starting out with such a nice
group of girls.� Miss Hill�s duties at the home management house are to supervise, advise, and
assist the students in operation the house. Each student living three has a special project to help
improve the house. They will soon be busy making a new drapes and bedspreads. Also, they will plan
and sponsor many social gatherings and events throughout the year as part of their home management
training. Miss Hill will be right there to help them. So far, it seems the students are doing a
grand job of running the house for Miss Hill says, with pride. �I feel like a guest there.� Knowing
Miss Hill�s past career in home economics, it is not surprising to learn that one of her hobbies
is sewing. She also likes water coloring and especially enjoys music. As a student at CSC, she was
a member of the Glee club. She enjoyed it immensely but never thought that she would be as active in
the field of music as she has been. While assistant state 4-H leader she was in charge of all the
state 4H music which was indeed, a great task. In the high schools at which she taught it seemed
inevitable to become associated with glee clubs or choirs. Miss Hill advised this reporter, who
passes the advice along, to take an active part in extra-curricular activities for �you can use and
value the experiences.� This most certainly has been true in Miss Hill�s case. Miss Hill has done
a bit of traveling about your country and has been outside of it once to visit friends in
Newfoundland. It seems Miss Hill has friends around the world. This is due to the fact that while
attending Columbia University in New York she stayed for one year at the International House with
students from many countries. Some day she would like to visit them. But now Miss Hill is renewing
old friendships and making new ones right here at CSC.
