Each of the ninth grade home economics students was host to two guests who were, for the most part, parents and teachers. Dinners have been given in past years, but they were limited in number of hosts and guests because they were offered in the af ternoon. The girls and their instructor, Mrs. Dorothy Sneed, concluded that by of fering an evening dinner more guests could be accommo dated and, even more impor tant, all of the home econom ics class would be able to give their meal at the same time. Each home economics class is divided into kitchen units of four girls, and each kitch en unit was responsible for the complete preparation and serving of a dinner to .-his guests. The dinner was held in the cafetorium where each kitchen unit had a table at which guests were seated and served. .
