8 Coeds Mother Infant,
Manage Hillcrest House
Eight coeds in the Hillcrest
Home Management House, situat
ed in 'back of the library, are
mothering an infant and keeping
house for the first time in their
lives—and they really enjoy it.
For half a semester the junior
or senior coeds live at Hillcrest
as part of their home economics
curriculum. They learn the funda

home and caring for an infant
to prepare them for their future
roles as wives and mothers. Miss
Nell Howery of the department
lives with the girls and offers help
ful advice.
' Hillcrest’s pride and joy, Nancy
Anne, is only five months old, but
the girls think she behaves like a
little lady. “She’s the ideal child.
She doesn’t fuss about he rfood,
and what’s more important, she
doesn’t cry.”
When Nancy sees her milk bot

kicks her feet, and opens her large
blue eyes very wide. To express
her appi'eciation Nancy smiles and
purrs.
In return for her good care
Nancy gurgles from her crib early
in the morning and awakens the
coeds for their classes and the
day’s work. Nancy sleeps in the
nursery which is furnished with
a chest of drawers, bath table,
crib, and rocking chair.
When the girls enter the home
management house .they decide
