The Making of a Home
HOME, SWEET HOME—Marilyn Henning, Ottawa senior, Sandra Freienmuth, Topeka senior, and Nadine Egger, Oregon, Mo., senior, return to the Home Management House after classes.
THEY LOOK GOOD—Elizabeth Miller, Norton senior, and Karen Johnson, Topeka junior, smile happily as Karen's biscuits emerge from the oven in fine shape.
Home Economics Girls Apply Home Management Principles
Going on the theory that "good managers are trained, not born," home economics majors spend approximately six weeks of their four years of college education living and working in the Home Management House at 700 W. 16th St.
It is here that they learn the practical aspects of homemaking — planning to conserve
time, energy and money. They learn to meet cheerfully and easily the various problems which arise in running a home and to work with and consider the value of different kinds and types of energy-saving equipment.
The girls continue with their regular college classes while living in the Home Management
House, so a division of labor in running the house is necessary. The duties are rotated each week and records are kept to be compared and improved upon.
They cook, clean, compare prices, buy groceries, make menus, keep strict account of the money they spend, entertain on a budget—and have fun doing it.
Mrs. Helen W. Adams serves as resident director in the Home Management House. The practical experience is a laboratory for advanced courses in the home economics department.
THE SMILE OF SUCCESS—Nadine smiles happily as she offers cream puffs to a guest at a recent breakfast the girls had for friends. Entertaining on a budget is one of the principles of home management learned in the house.
MORNING WORK-OUT Elizabeth and Karen struggle with their bedmaking. Properly made beds are one of the morning requirements in the Home Management House.
THANK YOU MA'AM-Karen serves breakfast to Elizabeth, Sandra and Marilyn. The girls take turns preparing and serving breakfast each week.
