'At Christmas time, I had the assignment of being manager for a a for 100 persons on a $3 budget id not a cent more.
"Three different kinds of cookies, two small cakes, or several sand-tables per person, spiced tea, andible decorations all had to come out of the allotment.

With all the practical experience she has received during college, Lee hopes to be well-prepared for her chosen-field, teaching home economics.
