SCHOOL RECORDS ARE
DISCUSSED IN REPORTS

the sixth r.nJ seventh grades also. These
little girls came knowing nothing of
the work, but willing to ler.rn. 'I heir
note books will show in a slight degree
whit they have accomplished.
As to difficulties I have had quite a
few. When we wanted to stnrt Dome/
tic Art we had no equipment. The
school board bought two machines and
an iron. Everything else the children
furnished. We hail no extra room, so
used the cooking room. Had no long
niirror, dress form, skirt guages or
dressing md fitting room, but in spite
of that the girls learned and made quite
a number of things.
As to Domestic Science there has been
only one difficulty and that is electric-
ity. For six months we were never cer-
tain of our heat. No one knows the
anxiety and worry caused by perhaps
having started in to make a cake. The
girls got all ingredients, mixed the cake
properly, put it in the oven and just as
it started to rise for the heat to go off.
An 8. O. 8. w'as given and one of the
boys rushed down to the office to find
out the trouble. He came back with
the news that the current would not be
-on until_the lirxTtl.iv. The cake fob
and wfi8 thrown awmy for no one could
eat half-cooked cake. The girls learned
only half of the art of making cake and
another lesson was necessary. Because
of this uncertainty we were compelled
to Stop cooking for over two months, but
this time was spent in sewing. 1 wish
to say that file school board has been
most liberal in buying the best of equip-
ment , all necessary utensils and giving
money to carry on this work and we
appreciate their lierty cooperation in
this.
To most- people “seeing is believing '
and I wish the school board as a whole
to see the kind and amount of work the
pupils have done so we invite you all to
come to a luncheon given by the Domes
tic Science girls in the schol dining room
on Thursday at one o’clock and we shall
endeavor to convince you that the time
spent in the department has not been
in vain.
Miss Robie Forster, in charge of the
second grale tOr the past five months,
gives an interesting outline of the work
done and of some of the difficulties en-
countered. in addition to language
work there were nature study, personal
hygiene, storv telling and memory work.

Domestic Science Dinner.
In their palmiest days none of the
1'imous dining places of State or Nation
have ever had anything on the Domestic
Science department of the Sugar Land
High Schools, as operated under the
watchful eyes and deft fingers of Misses
Margaret Wright, Kdith Lavender, Myr-
tle Scarborough," Ninette'-' Loper, and
Mildred Teague all members of the

charge of tiie' classes,
On Friday members of the school
board were guests of the class at a
luncheon which lasted from'1 to 2:30
p. m., and was the very latest manifes-
tation of culinary skill and service ef-
ficiency. '
Miss Mildred Teague served as head
waitress with dainty dignity. It was
her fingers that made the mints and
salted the nuts. It seemed that a year’s
achievements by the class in cooking,
canning and preserving, and in table
serving, we.re all concentrated into one
meal. Everything on the table was
home made, including, the exquisitely
colored mints. The menu began with
fruit cocktail amt ended with coffee
and salted nuts. In between were bak-
ed chicken, pickled beets; fresh peas in
patties, half shell potatoes, rolls, ice
tea, tomato salad,
ers ,apricot ice. •
