The Motto of the Taste and Basic
Club as Interpreted by Rachel Hall at
the Annual Mother and Daughter
Banquet held on May
Two years ago when our Home Ec.
club was first organized the men,
bers chose club color, name and mot
to. The motto, GAS our Girlhood is
now so shall our Womanhood be"
seemed to be very appropriate and fit
ting at the time. However; as the
club has grown older and time has
gone by, feel that we have come to
realize more and more just how much
is really involved in this motto. When
we stop to think about it, it's really
a challenge to our girlhood for our
future womanhood. And what a big
challeneg that is! When it is inter-
preted it really means that our woman
hood depends entirely upon our girl
hood and will be nothing more than
an outgrowth of it.
There are so many, many things
which young girls could do to make
their lives more complete and more
enjoyable when they have become
homemakers. When we are very
young we learn to make the beds, set
the table, dust and clean and many
other such household tasks. Then,
as we grow older, we are given more
responsible jobs to perform, such as
cooking and sewing. Every mother
has her own way of doing these
things and more than likely the child
will adopt her mothers method. But
we do, however, form habits of our
own and so by forming them at such
an early age it is very wise to form
good ones.
It isn't such an easy job for some of
us to make a success at cooking or
sewing. It's like everything else,
some of us are naturally talented to
cook well, while others are better at
sewing. But with the help of good
cook book, the advice of Home &c.
teacher or our mothers (and of course
l mustn't forget our club) I feel sure
that we can't go far wrong.
Cooking and sewing aren't the only
things to be taught to girls either.
There are dozens of traits which
should be developed and practiced in
the home each day. Some of these
are: correct maners, correct behavior,
choosing and caring for ones cloth
ing and wise spending. And of course
there are the teen age problems for
girls, too.
There have been several interesting
programs given in the "Taste and
Basic Club" this year which help in
connection with these qualities. So
you see, our club isn't just to amuse
and entertain, but we try to make the
programs beneficial as well.
Our mothers are only too willing
and anxious to give us help and ad-
vice on any subject, and SO it's up to
us to obey and follow that advice. I'm
less there is cooperation between
Mother and Daughter, there is likely
to be little progress.
I feel sure that all you girls are
going to agree with my last conclud-
ing remark no matter how fine our
ability at home-making may turn out
or no matter what success we may
make of our future lives, we will owe
everything we know about it to our
dear Mothers and Teachers.
