COOKING UP A STORM
The Home Economics Department has added a new face to brighten up the scenery a bit, Miss Carol Rohrbach. They are four ladies who teach the young people of today the basic skills they will need when they strike out on their own. Cooking is about the best liked of all the subjects taught in Home Etc. Miss Lester’s classes had a party at Christmas time to which a few administrators and teachers were invited to try out the girls’ cooking skills. All went well as planned. There is also a boy's Home Etc. Class taught here at Wilson. The young men sometimes do a better job at being chefs than the girls. But both try just as hard. The classes and teachers have done well so far and will continue the good work.

The Foreign Language Department is made up of Mrs. Gladys Williams and Mrs. Virginia Bonwell. These two ladies teach those pupils at Wilson the language that is used in other parts of the world. The art of speaking in a foreign tongue may help students in later life. Although few students take foreign language courses those who do do well and learn how other people in the world live and their culture. Though few in number these individuals are very successful in their work.
