Home Economics.
I guess smiles were not allowed in Home Ec in 1935.
The Stepford Students
They look all so highly motivated at the prospect of being housewives and mothers. And how could they not, since according to some, this is what women are born to do. /s
BCC reppin!!
I’m guessing this photographer said something real stupid to get their attention.
Daggers, daggers everywhere.
I’m Chevy Chase Cooking Class, and you’re not.
Had to google Chevy Chase because I always thought places with that name was after the actor 💀
Where’s her show pig?
The naming of this school was streets ahead!
Not gonna lie…some bitch biscuits ’bout to get baked.
“Chevy Chase High School”, “Bethesda,MD”… right
Wow, you can really see the joy on their faces!
She’s got Bette Davis eyes.
Home Ec should still be a thing, beyond cooking they taught all sorts of life skills to help people live like adults. Should be for both men and women too.
Girl up front looks malnourished
Weird
I attended this high school in 2001
What the fuck I went to this school for high school 80 years later. Never thought I’d see this randomly scrolling reddit
Damn. This blows a hole in my theory of the town being named after the actor….
Or does it?? Could he be secretly ageless 🤔
Jesus they all look miserable
My mom went to this high school! Not quite as early as this, though.
These girls are 5 years into the Great Depression, have 5 more before it’s really done, and then have 5 years of the greatest war the world has ever seen to endure.
The Greatest Generation went through a lot of shit to hand the world to the US Boomers on a silver platter.
This must be before the days of fast food and big gulps because they are all a healthy weight
They look like the photographer just told them their place is in the kitchen
Just FYI: both chevy chase, MD and the actor were named/nicknamed after the same 17th century English ballad–the Ballad of Chevy Chase (about a hunt/chase in Cheviot/chevy)
Everybody, turn and look at the camera, except you Doris, you sit down and look the other way. You know what you did.
They should bring it back 🗿
People looked so much older back in the day
My great grandma had a washing machine like that on the right until the 70s. After the wash cycle, you ran the clothes through the two cement rollers to wring out the water. Then take the laundry out to the line to dry.
Wow, Chevy Chase is even older than I thought.
Who was Chevy Chase that had a highscool in his name?
That’s a sweet looking mangle the woman sitting down is using.
love the style on those appliances!
**Fun Fact:**
Chevy Chase was one of the original “Sundown Towns”, which meant that if you were black, don’t be caught in the town after sundown. In the mid 80’s the town had a wooden sign along Connecticut Avenue, just south of East-West Highway that had the name of the town, etc.. what was unusual was at the bottom it had “A.N.N.A.”, which means “**A**in’t **N**o **N**iggers **A**llowed”
They look like prisoners.
BRING BACK HOME EC AND SHOP
​
AND WHILE WE’RE AT IT START TAKING PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH CLASS SERIOUSLY
I had home ec back in middle school and though the teacher was really mean and I’m by no means a cook I’m glad we had it and know some basics.
I hate every single word in this title separately.
“She’s got Bette Davis eyes” 🎶
I took cooking class because you get to eat in class and it was actually fun
We’ve got a rebel in the back left by the door! She’s trying to crack a smile!
What I wouldn’t give to have one of those stoneware mixing bowls in the case.
Joyless Soup
These women all look 30
They should bring back cooking class for high school but make everyone do it. It is an important skill to have
