Under the direction of Miss Claire Stembridge at the High School Tuesday morning, a display of the needlework of the 10th and 11th grades was made for the benefit of the pupils and parents, and reflected great credit upon the ability of the girls and the effectiveness of the teaching methods in the department of domestic arts. Miss Stembridge is a graduate of Georgia State College, and the good results of her work here were manifested at the exhibition when the pupils in the 11th grade gave demonstrations of the garments they had made since September 15th. A striking feature of the affair was the fact that as far as possible the girls had made the apparel from old garments, rather than purchasing new materials. The pupils of the 11th grade were attired in the creations of this own handicraft, which included sports, street, afternoon and evening costumes, with hats to match. Members of the class were Misses Jessie Askew, Helen Adler, Johnnie Byrd, Reba Collins, Elizabeth Dunn, Lulie Fitts, Ruth Falkner, Ruth Grady, Minnie Goodman, Annie Horton, Louisa Joyner, Mary Langston, Adelaide Randolph, Ellen Rouse, Mab Stroud and Mary Taylor.
The display of the 10th grade girls consisted of cotton washable dresses with hat to match, outdoor costume and party dresses. Comprising this class are: Misses Lois Brown, Mary Faulkner, Elise Gray, Helen Haskins, Zullemme Johnson, Alice Jennet, Katie Moseley, Louise Paschal, Grace Rouse, Lucy Tyndall, Louise Tyndall, Emmaline Taylor, Marie Williams, Lela Wooten and Lillian Savage.
Needlework is one section of the Department of Domestic Arts and these pupils at the end of the semester in January will alternate and study cooking, with the cooking class taking up sewing.
Following the sewing exhibitions Tuesday morning the pupils of the eighth and ninth grades prepared and served a luncheon for the visitors.
