Domestic Science
Students at COny
To Exhibit Work

An exhibition of home economies
work is to be held at Cony High school
on Friday. June 18. from $50 to and
from to 10 O'Clock.
TheNcooking exhibit will be prepared
by members of the sophomore class.
The senior class Is working on meal
preparation, therefore that class will
have no work for exhibition.
The sewing exhibit will consist Of
work done since January l by members
of the first and second year sewing
classes.
The aim of the home economic
courses offered in high school work Is
to prepare the girls for home making.
So many people have the impression
that the high school aims to turn out
professional cooks and seamstresses.
This, however, is wrong conception
of the course in a classical high school.
1t is the work of the trade school to
send out professionals in this particu-
lar course. Nevertheless to obtain sat
isfactory results in a classical high
school ono must remember that rea-
sonable amount Of time, proper equip
ment and plenty of room as well as
special trained teachers are a few of
tie most essential requisites.
A girl who has taken the work Of
fered at Cony High school should be
capable of planning and preparing we'll
balanced and attractive meals. She
should also be able to make her own
clothing She is taught the proper
care of clothing as we'll as methods
of renovating. The study of the man
ufacture of textiles and attractive
color combinations is a part of the
work of the sewing classes. The study
of color combinations does not help
with the mechanics of sewing. but It
does aid in making the home more at

Y DIRECTORS VOTE
THREE ADDITIONAL
BOWLING ALLEYS

BY unanimous vote of the board of
directors Of the Augusta Y. NJ. c. A.
Monday evening at a joint meeting of
the board of directors and the board of
trustees of that institution, the report
Of Blaine Owen, chairman of the social
committee which has been looking into
the matter of providing needed addi-
tional bowling alley, was approved and
recommended for adoption by the board
Of trustees.
The plan as submitted by the social
committee calls for the addition of the
three new alleys besides the ones now
in use. with the pits at the end now
used by the bowlers. This would maize
six alleys side by side. as the new ones
would take up the corridor that now
leads to the alleys. as we'll as the jan
itor's room and part of the locker room.
The stairs that now lead down to Il e
basement would also be changed. This
plan seems very feasible and will prob
ably be approved by the board of dircc-
tors.

at the Y. NJ. C. A. at 5.45 and the meet
ing was adjourned to the Augusta
Country Club. where they were the
guests at dinner of the executive COM
mittee, Percy V. Hill. At the conclu-
sion of the supper the meeting was held
