Scope and content
From July 26-30, 1925, the Washington State College extension service sponsored their second annual vacation camp for Western Washington farm women at Lincoln High School. More than 50 women were enrolled, each representing a home economics club or community organization. The women took courses in home management, nutrition and the making of wearing apparel. Here, six women in aprons intently watched a teacher crack an egg in what appears to be a baking lesson. On the counter are three bowls, milk, eggs and the baked finished product. Lincoln High School was strictly off limits to men folk during camp. The women bunked on cots set up in the gym. They attended classes during the four days, two a day each about 1 hour 45 minutes long, but also had plenty of time for swimming, walking, dancing and play.
