DOMESTIC SCIENCE DINNER

The dinner which was given by
the Domestic Science Department
Friday evening was most Loyalty at
tended by the citizens of Hurley
There were one hundred anl eigh-
teen tickets sold; the number being
about twice as many as was expect
ed would be sold. when the dinner
was first advertised, and the girls
were crowded little for both space
and time.
There are three cooking classes
this year. a seventh and eighth
grade class. a first year high school
and second year high school class.
In all thirty-five girls are taking the.
work in cooking.
For the dinner just given. the
work was divided among the differ
ent classes. The second year high
school had charge of the planning Of
the menu, they also made the beet
pickles, the chill sauce, the meat
loaf. the timbale cases and the
dessert. Tie seventh grade people
made the nut bread. and the eighth
grade the rolls, The first year cook
ing girls prepared the salad, the.
saited nuts. the peas and the pota-
toes. The second year girls did the
serving. the first year girls and the
eighth graders dished up the differ
ent courses and the seventh graders
washed the dishes. Every girl work
ed faithfully and hard to make the
dinner success.
The entire cost of materials used
are to be paid for out Of the pro-
ceeds as nothing was solicited. The
D. 5. Department will have bal
arce of about fifteen dollars which
will be used later in the year to de-.
fray the expense of serving lunch.
cons, buy dishes, silver, etc.
At the beginning of the year each
one OF hecooking classes chose one
OF their number to act on finance
committee. This committee has
charge Of all the money earned and
expended by the classes. Some peo-
pie in town have asked why should
the girls give such a dinner. There
are several reasons. In the first
place, il give the girls big and
practical problem in planning and
serving. Each girl is required to-
keep an account Of the number
served. the amount Of material used,
and the cost of each course. In the
second place it gave the people who
were interested in the work an /
opportunity to find out what this de-
partInent of the school is trying TO /
do. In the third place they earned /
some money to be used in their /
work :. It is not because the Board +
