If you visited the Exhibit al the Armory
in Frederick on May 10th you were doubt
less pleased with the splendid showing
made by the Domestic Science and Art
departments of Frederick County. But
since none of the articles were labeled
perhaps you did not know that most of
the premiums were carried off by the
Thurmont High School. We won first
prize on Angel Food Cake, DEVILS Food
Cake. Gold Cake, second prize on Sponge
Cake and White Cake, a premium on
every cake that was taken in to the ex-
hibt. In addition to these there was a
first premium on mullins, first on yellow
canned peaches, first on tomatoes and
second on cream puffs.
Not only in cooking but also in sewing
did we have creditable display. There
were no premiums offered in this line
and we can only surmise what might
have happened if they had been awarded.
Thurmont may well be proud of this
department of the school. The work is
exceptional for High School students and
