Story of College Week.
On Monday, December 27, we
left FELTON, on the nine, reaching
Newark some time before noon.
The bus met us at the station and
took us to Harter Hall. We then
went to Wolf~Hall and enrolled,
were given Identification badge and
a. assigned to rooms.
On returning to Harter Hall we
unpacked our blankets, arranged
our beds, and got ready for lunch
After lunch Miss Emerson, County
Club Agent Of Sussex County,
took charge. She tried to get us
in good spirit so we sang and she
told us things. Then the Christiana
Club gave a Model Club Meeting.
This was good. I noticed the
Junior members. They made me
think/of myself, one Of the little
girls. After that we prepared for
the gymnasium where Miss Emer-
son had us 90 through some stunts.
After supper we were entertain
ed by the movies, I enjoyed this
fine and was so tired and sleepy
that | hardly had time to think
about home before. l didn t know
| wasn't home because I went to
sleep so quickly.
Early Tuesday morning the
bugle call sounded and that meant
"Get up" After breakfast Miss
Comstock, County Club Agent of
Kent County, took us to see the
Women s College. I wanted to see
two rooms in particular, Mary
Gruwell' s room and Mildred .Jes-
ter's, but this was not to be done
as house cleaning was going on.
Mr.. Farrell, from the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, gave us
some good points on judging can
ned products. He told us much
that was useful and | want to
know more about judging. After
lunch some girls gave us a canning
demonstration. Then we have GYM
nasium exercises again.
After supper we had more
movies and | was so glad to see
three girls from my own club on
the screen. They looked just like
home to me. | was getting to think
about home but Mr.. Martin, State
Club Leader, and all the Leaders
were so kind and pleasant that I
thought | had better not get home
sick. l just rolled up in my
blankets and forgot everything un-
til that bugle call sounded and
Wednesday had begun another
busy day.
Miss Null, Professor of Home
Economics at the Women's Col
lege, talked on Bread Making and
Bread Judging. This was very
good. Then the girls judged bread.
After dinner there was demon
stratiOn on bread making. Then
more gymnasium.
Wednesday evening the boys
and girls who had enjoyed trips
told us about them. This was good.
Thursday morning Miss Woods,
Home Demonstration Agent at
Large, told us about the kimona
pattern. My first kimona pattern
didn't look like I wanted it to so
listened to all she said. I don t
like to sew like I do canning or
cooking but | want to know how
to do it. Then the girls judged
garments.
After dinner we went to the corn
show and boy from here had
made good on his ears of corn.
