SOPHOMORES ATTEND CON-
FERENCE
Sixteen members of the Sophomore
Home Economics class attended the
Student Conference at the State
Teachers College, Saturday, April
10. They heard many interesting dis
cussions among which were "Prepar-
ing for and Finding the Right job
by Miss Elizabeth Amery, State Sup
erintendent of Home Economics; Ode
termining and Securing the Right
Kind of Education" by Dean N. S.
Small, University of Maryland; and
Making Proper Adjustments in the
Home," by Mrs. H. Ross Coppage,
President Maryland Congress of Par
ents and Teachers. Many questions
were brought up such as: What shall
I take into consideration in choosing
my life work? What preparation do
I need for my life work? To what
extent should young people conform
to parental views of life?
The girls had an opportunity to
take part in the discussion and this
proved to make the lectures more in
teresting. The discussions were so in
structive that it might have done the
parents good to have heard them.
The trip was well worth the time
and money spent, for everyone SEEM
ed to enjoy herself thoroughly.

SENIOR CLASS NEWS
The Senior Class has decided to
adopt caps and gowns for graduation.
This plan seemed much better than
the old custom of white dresses for
the girls and dark suits for the boys,
as all will present uniform appear
ance in dres. Measurements have
been taken and it won't be long now
before the class of '37 will be seen
proudly displaying these symbols of

All this goes to prove that the Sen
Tor Class is certainly on it's toes.
