China and Silverware from the Home Management House and Dietetics Courses.
Over the years several patterns of silverware and china were used in the Home Management House and later in dietetics
courses. The largest set of silverware is Community Silver Plate with "SPN" engraved on the handle. It looks like we
had a large service for 20 or so with a wide array of serving pieces. Forks, as near as we can guess are from right to
left for shrimp, dessert, salad, dinner. Our guess for spoons from right to left are coffee/tea, soup, dessert, flat,
small, large.
