The Gem 1930 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Black Diamond, 1930, Vol. 1 Why have some girls stayed in Wright Hall for four years? The reason isn't foolish and it isn't because we had to, but because Wright Hall 'is what it is. We have plenty of pure, nourishing food, prepared in'the right way and served at the right time. Wright Hall is one of Pikeville High School's greatest educational depart ments; for here we have practice in good housekeeping and practice in using modern, time -saving machinery for the housewife, which so many need just after they get out of high school. We work an hour a day, which not only pays our room rent, but also gives us our necessary exercise and keeps us from getting so lazy that we think the world owes us a living instead of our owing something to the world. We have quiet rooms, with definite periods in which to study, and a teacher who visits us during study hour, offers aid, and sees that we do not squander our time.
