Twenty-five " mmebers of the first
year sewing classes in Homemaking
attractive outfits they had
made during the last few weeks in a
show at Blakely High School
recently. Christine Spence, dressed
\, 61d woman who lived in the
shoe,” was seated in a chair on one
side of the stage. She told in rhyme
of how with high taxes and prices
today, she could not co.pe with the
problem of buying clothes for her
many, many children. But then they
started taking Homemaking, learned
to sew, and all her worries vanished.
One by one the girls came out of
a huge black shoe in the center of
the stage. Each modelled her outfit,
as Christine described it in verse.
