Home Ec Girls IA Instructor Lists Projects Study Cooking “Anyone can cook, so they say. The girl who cooks with her hands is a laborer, the girl who cooks with her head and her hands is a craftsman, but the girl who cooks with her head, heart and hands is an artist,’’ is a saying that comes to the mind of Mrs. Virginia Steffens when asked about ac tivities of her Homemaking II classes. During the first semester, the Homemaking II girls are studying ‘Creativity in Cook ery.’ Their goals are to de velop easily prepared dinners while consuming maximum amounts of vitamins and in expensive proteins. They must keep in mind the nutritive val ues of the basic four foods and cutting costs by using foods grown in this area. The students have tasted many new vegetables such as garbanzos, cactus, artichokes, mushrooms and mustard greens. The NHS girls have studied techniques of mixing and baking light breads, pies; the cooking of fruit condiments, fruit and vegetable pickles, preserves and butter marmalades. These are all used to enhance the four basic foods. To end their ‘cookery’ study, the students will learn meat preparations.

EDUCATION EDUCATION For Corvallis ADMIRING SOUVENIERS OF A TRIP TO MEXICO ARE Nyssa Elementary Teachers Mrs. Elaine Nelson and Mrs. Mary Hatt. The bulletin board in background was prepared by students in Mrs. Hatt’s sixth-grade room. The pupils are gaining first-hand knowledge of that country. In ad dition to studying about Mexico in their textbooks, members of the class have heard two guest lecturers. Mrs. Nelson, who recently returned from Mexico City where she attend ed the Olympic games, spoke to the students and showed her souveniers. She stressed the point that there is very little lumber in Mexico. Houses are made of brick and clay and the native cactus has a variety of uses. A purse and doily which she brought back are made of cactus, as is much of the paper used by our neighbors to the south. Mrs. Hatt’s students also enjoyed a Mexican dinner prepared by Mrs. Duane Holcomb and Mrs. Navarro. Speaking at the dinner was Father Charles Young of St. Bridget’s Catholic church. He is a former resident of Mexico. "AC Professional Directory Physicians and Surgeons K. E. KERBY, M. D. K. A. DANFORD, M. D.

Most of the pupils are making either small pots or wall plaques. Separate pieces of clay are molded as fruits, flowers or borders to decorate the plaques. According to Mrs. Thomson, the project will take approximately two weeks to complete. After it is molded the clay must be allowed to dry, then it is carefully sanded and fired in the school kiln. After the first firing, the students glaze the articles and they are fired a second time. Students also learn about sit uations such as driving in the country, metropolitan areas and on freeways and highways. Also studied are laws which govern the highway, such as signs and speed.
