The Homemakers' Club - 1937

by - Blanche Holmden

The NSTC Chapter of Future Homemakers' Club, a campus organization open to home economics students, was organzied on September 14, 1937, for the purpose of promoting interest in home economics.

It has become affilitated this year with the National Home Economics organization, and has grown from twenty-three charter-memebers to a membership of nearly forty.

Interesting and worth-while club programs have been the result of a carefully planned year-book which has included various phases of personality development. A most enjoyable occasion was the Christmas dinner party, which was the first social event in the new living-dining room of Jesse Dunn Hall. At other times delightful teas and buffet luncheons have been served.

Parliamentary law-practice, homemaking-song drills, social-service work, dramatic programs, and professional contributions have played a part in the programs of the year too.

The advisors and several members of the club attended the state meetings for the home economics clubs in Oklahoma City on Saturday, March 20, 1937. Much inspiration was received for building more active and worthwhile club in the college here.
